by John P.

Here is an advertisement that is definitely doing it’s job! I’ve posted several videos of Rube Goldberg machines in the past, so take a look at them if you haven’t seen one. But the concept of a Rube Goldberg machine is that you build something extremely complex to do a simple job.

I love flames! And I love overly complex machinery! So imagine my joy when I came across this overly complicated flame-powered Rube Goldberg machine! It reminds me of a movie line from Tommy Boy: “I swear I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life. But that… was… awesome!”

Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine and Game!

This video is as cool, or possibly even better, than my previous post on Incredible Japanese Kinetic Machines. In this video, the creators of this Rube Goldberg machine (a machine that performs a simple task in a complex way) have woven the kinetic reactions all over an entire house! As it weaves it’s way throughout [...]

Whoever set up this office domino-like demonstration was definitely milking the payroll for all it’s worth. Still, it’s pretty darn cool.
