    A simple 2D fluid and gravity simulation with WASM and WebGL2024 · aestuans.github.io · ▲137

    The little particles will gravitate to your cursor (or touch location), and can even enter stable orbits if the conditions are right! Mainly an excuse for me to experiment with wasm and WebGL, but it makes for a surprisingly good fidget toy.

    I engineered a 2mm micro-bearing D20 ring that free-spin for 20 secondsNov 2025 · ▲23

    Over the past few months I’ve been experimenting with how small a functional bearing-based mechanism can get while still feeling smooth, durable, and useful. This project started from a simple question: How thin can a real, free-spinning bearing be while still handling continuous rotation? Most “spinner rings” you see online cheat by simulating rotation — there’s no real bearing, just loose tolerance metal sliding on metal. True micro-bearing rotation needs precision, tight tolerances, and high surface finish, which is difficult when everything needs to be wearable on a finger. So I tried to…

    A 2mm micro-bearing ring that spins like a real fidget spinnerDec 2025 · ▲9

    My motivation was pretty simple: every “spinning ring” I tried felt a bit fake. They don’t actually spin — not like a real bearing. So I wanted to see if I could make one that truly does. At the end of the day it’s still just a ring. A small, minimal piece of jewelry. But it happens to hide a tiny bearing that can hit around 800 RPM with a single flick. That contrast is what makes it fun. The way I think about it is this: it’s like a normal-looking car that quietly turns out to fly. Nothing loud or showy — until you decide to reveal what it can actually do. If you’ve used a good fidget…
