Engineer Builds Self-Balancing Pole Using Drone Propellers

A self-balancing pole held up by four drone propellers, built by an aerospace engineer, and apparently it stayed standing for over three hours. I have no idea how it works, and I am completely fine with that.
There is something deeply satisfying about a project that is wildly over-engineered for a problem nobody had. I can't even keep a broom upright in the garage. Worth a click just to watch physics being held at gunpoint by tiny fans.
