While trailing around the Internet, and once again finding the Honda Accord advert (the one with the little cogs and stuff that roll around in some giant Rube Goldberg Machine) I came across another done in a similar style.
Only this one was done back in 1987, and involves fire and explosions and fireworks. And chemical reactions. The makers seem quite eager to set the floor of their “studio” on fire. And thanks to the wonders of YouTube, you can see the video…
It’s called “Der Lauf Der Dinge” and is 30 minutes long. It starts off quite slow but gets progressively more amusing and interesting to watch. They have some wonderfully flammable and corrosive looking foam in several places.
And if that’s not enough, here’s a very amusing Rube Goldberg Machine done entirely in the Half Life 2 gameworld.
Still not bored? Press here for a whole 4,000 of them.
Remember kids: Try this at home.
