Japanese artist Jarashi Suki developed dominoes that trip each other even without physical contact. Each one has a number, 1-5, displayed with dots. You can change the number of a domino by shaking it. When domino 1 falls, it will then trip 2, which will then trip 3, and so on. The video shows creative ways that this system can be used to make domino chains that would be impossible with conventional dominoes.

Comments Off Guinness World Records has declared that more than 10,000 people who gathered in northern China have set a new record for human dominoes:
Arranged in lines, they slowly collapsed backward onto each other in sequence from a sitting position like a line of toppling dominoes.
The 10,267 people who took part wore color-coordinated clothes that spelled out in English and Chinese the name of the city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia where the record attempt was made Thursday.

The folks at our favorite variety show from Japan wanted to see what kind of animal could negotiate a field of dominoes without wrecking them. You’ll be surprised at which critter succeeded! Here’s a hint: think of an American sport played in an alley. Link -via Buzzfeed
Matthias Wandel used LEGO Technic parts to build a machine that distributes dominoes in rows. His website is filled with other similar gadgets, most of which are made out of wood.

This is pretty self explanatory, but strangely addicting. Figure out which domino will set off the chain that will splat the tomato. You don’t have to make all of the dominoes fall down, but it’s better if you do – you have a set amount of time to complete all of puzzles, and you get time taken off for every domino you leave. Have fun!
Alex posted the new world record for domino toppling not too long ago. I don’t think this one breaks any records, but it is quite original – it tells the story of Snow White in domino form.
With an amazing amount of patience and with a steady hand, 45 walls of Dominoes were carefully stacked using over 30,000 pieces!! And after it was completed, down it went with a slight push of the hand.
