Good find Matt.

How long did building all that take? :shock:
Must've required a lot of creativity and patience.
And yes, it is indeed awesome.

I have cadbury eggs in my fridge.

They fit quite nicely into my nutrition plan, if I take out another snack. It's definitely a good trade-off.

And I've found the answer to my own question.

Wait...

He made this for a contest, but it took him six months to make it?

Hmm. Long-running contest. Either that, or he had been doing it for fun and just adapted it to that final purpose.


The thing near the end with the titled pane of glass where the marbles roll down really slowly on an angle is soooooo aweomse.

That is a rather good one.

By far the best shot one so far I think is the Honda commercial "cog"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYabfifh ... re=related

It took 605 tries to get it set up just right and film it in one take.


Also, the first of april my universities student/study society wil be doing "the stunt". This year well be building the larges Rube Goldberg machine we can. It's wont consist of that many steps (about 25 planned so far) but most of them will be very Mechanical Engineer worthy (Big, loud and heavy). If we get film or photographic proof I'll post it here afterwards :P

Obviously photoshopped. You can tell if you look at the sound waves.
