Impossible Incorporated is the commercial brand for Matt Bilsky's work and research. Our mission is to solve life's Wouldn't it be nice if ...? problems with novel engineering solutions.
This channel is a collection of prototypes and inventions invented and built by Matt Bilsky over the years.
It also contains video recordings of lectures and seminars given by Matt Bilsky as a Post-Doc and Adjunct Faculty member at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.
If you have an idea for a product but need assistance realizing it into a functioning product please contact Matt Bilsky and Impossible Incorporated at mattbilsky.com.
Our current project is also the dissertation work of Matt Bilsky: A novel snake-like robot with construction, rescue, and aerospace applications.
The robot and its technologies are available for license. Please contact Matt Bilsky to discuss.

Awesome tut. Logical thinking, frugal, nice pace, well spoken, good tips including explaining pitfalls. I'm impressed enough to check out your other vids.
For a bonus make an energy harvester that can fill up power banks. Perhaps base another of the manual wheel winder concept with magnets/harvesters on the edges.
hey i saw from your website and this video but the link that you sent for the remote control does not work. also i dont get how you connected the remote to the buttons
I can't get this to work :( I wonder if my board is the issue? Also can I connect the dout/din to 5v? the Datasheet says the pins can take upt o 6v, but it doesn't say if they output 3.3v or 5v? I also wonder if arduino reads 3.3v as high
That fast speed is nice. It would be great if it had some steak down points on it and a wireless trigger so I stand 1000 feet down string of it and do winch style launch to 500 feet on a low wind day. Similar to how sailplane clubs do.
Hello, my friends and I are considering creating something similar for an engineering project and would love to get in contact with you regarding your inspirations to create the project, as well as potentially drafting ideas as we go through our design process if you are willing :)
I leave my printer on all the time, but I'd like to power a usb fan only during printing so as to not waste power. Do you know if there's a simple way to do this that doesn't involve breaking out intermediate boards? The USB-b port on the prusa is a device port and not a host port unfortunately.
It's pronouned FriDGE A Dare. Like refrigerator, or fridge. Frig-i-daire. PS, you can simply just buy the plastic air deflectors intended for central air wall vents. They are in the same shape as your design.
This is really an ingenious design for drilling, and congrats on commercializing it. I wonder if you can get the outside diameter of links down to half an inch?
I like the video! My problem is not a portable air conditioner, but a window air conditioner! A squirrel chewed through one of the side panels and came in through the hole. My brother took the air conditioner out of the window, but I have no idea what to do next! This is the closest solution that I've found. Any ideas would be great. It's already been back looking through the window, so I know that trying to outwait it is not going to work.
I love this video and am trying to start learning AutoDesk Fusion 360 too but don't have a 3D printer yet. I just liked it, subscribed to your channel, and look forward to watching your current and future videos! Thanks for putting them online to help us learn cool tech! Curious - Do you have a design that will also keep rain out but won't get clogged with dust, pollen, dirt, leaves or grass from nearby lawn mowing or weed wacking, yet will keep out ants, bees, hornets, wasps, flies, and mosquitos from entering the portable air conditioner vent hose, that may attach to either the inside or outside of a 5.1" or 5.9" hose universal horizontal/vertical window/door vent? I've used wire and fabric meshes in the past but couldn't seem to secure them without them getting detached in the rain or wind or looking bad if I secured it with tape.
An exterior wire or fabric mesh vent-overhanging-attachment that could deflect wind and rain downward while keeping out dust, pollen, dirt, leaves or grass from nearby lawn mowing or weed wacking, yet keep out ants, bees, hornets, wasps, flies, and mosquitos and easily attach magnetically to the outside of the vent would be ideal.
I want to ask you about the subject of electromechanics, if there is a specific source that I can study on, a source from the United States University. Because I am not a university. And if I can contact you to inquire if you have an Instagram or Telegram account.
So 3 years later - USB Power Delivery is a lot more common than it was back then. Do you think a ZY12PDN + USB-C PD pack would do the trick here? My Shark vacuum's canister fills up so fast that I'm tempted to see if I can feed power to its head and connect to my shopvac...
I recently had replaced a leaky bissell carpet washer and saved the motors and power boards from it with this very purpose in mind. Though mine will require converting an air powered floor tool to the electric motor. got some good ideas from this video to help me.
