downloading the video footage. Cannot wait to hear the racket of all the ping pong balls.

Cool! How did I know this took place in Japan? Now I want to see the ping pong ball avalanche in a huge clear lexan box filled with one million set mousetraps.

ahhh. The joys of granular media research. I'm a bit surprised there's no student on a snowboard in any of the pictures.

Did you find this looking for tribute pages to Capt. Kangaroo?

Whoa. I am sufficiently motivated to drive to work through the snow to watch these. Thanks, srboisvert!

I went to a talk a while ago by a guy who does this sort of thing for a living. He had videos of the ping-pong balls, and had a small scale demonstration with those polystyrene balls you put in bean bags. It was very impressive.
