Скачать или смотреть I invented a way to move a wasp nest, here's how it went.

What started as a short video and a crazy idea led me to create a unique device that could actually relocate wasps without causing harm. After an unexpected 100 million people watched my first attempt, I knew I had to bring this invention to life for real, and this video walks you through every step of that journey.

In some parts of the world, wasps are treated with respect (believe it or not!). But here, let’s be honest, we’re often at war with them! I wanted to take a different approach—a safe, DIY solution that would actually let me relocate a nest rather than just knock it down. That’s where the “Nest Nabber” was born. This device went from a virtual idea to a hands-on, crafted tool, taking engineering skills, patience, and a lot of creativity to get it working just right.

I knew I'd have to 3D print a prototype, refine it again and again, and troubleshoot constantly. Engineering a functional “iris” mechanism to grab and hold onto the nest without damaging it was a major challenge. The design went through endless versions fit just right, allowing them to open and close smoothly around the nest’s stem. Each piece, from the rotating spin ring to the custom zip-tie clamp, had to be crafted precisely to fit together and actually work in the real world, outside the clean lines of a digital model. If you’re an engineer, DIYer, or just someone interested in the art of invention, I think you’ll appreciate the step-by-step problem-solving in this project.

This video covers each design change, test, and (sometimes wild) idea I tried, including how I added claws and zip ties to make sure the iris held firmly, how the entire assembly works, and my creative solution using a banana as a stand-in for the wasp nest! I’ll show how the invention functions with all its moving parts—essential for ensuring no part of the nest gets damaged during the move. And, since I wanted the wasps to survive and thrive in a new home, I also built their final container with ventilation and a few tweaks for comfort.

This invention wasn’t a straightforward project; it was a process of trial and error, constant redesign, and some pretty off-the-wall adjustments. From cutting the jar to rigging a remote opening mechanism, I wanted every detail to work seamlessly. This was about designing and executing an idea with precision, testing resilience, and making sure the wasps had a new home without disturbing their natural behavior.

I hope you find this project as interesting as I did. If you’re into tinkering, designing, or building things that solve real-world problems in unusual ways, this video is for you!
