Maker Faire has been described as a kind of Do-it-Yourselfer's nirvana. Inventors and many of the DIY fraternity gather there to present their projects and products which range from the weird to the sublime. Some of the brightest minds and most amazing tinkerers gather in California for this annual event, which is sponsored primarily by Make magazine.

According to the videographer this entertaining video is a compilation of video clips placed end to end.
This ultra slow motion macro shoot shows absolutely stunning detail of the action of a water drop like you just don't see anywhere else and alludes to look more like liquid metal.
The video was shot at 7000 FPS and in case your wondering, you may like to shoot video at this extreme speed and greater, than expect to have to fork out between 7 and 250 grand for a camera.
Nevertheless is a showcase of ideas, inventions and creative inventiveness of individuals, groups and companies, concerns for things green that can help change a polluted and climate disrupted world.
