Okay, Sifters... come see this vid. As @CheshireSmile says, it is the best rube goldberg machine ever.

MAY just be the best rube goldberg machine i've ever seen.

Sorry everybody, we need to start over because the ice pick failed.
Mr. MacCormac, back in the helicopter for you.


Yeah, but that's the problem, it's too disconnected. I don't for a second believe that if someone got their bit wrong they'd all start again. They'd just re-shoot that bit.

I'd more call it a series of simpler Rube Goldberg machines connected by Red Bull-sponsored human athletes who trigger them. Not the best Rube Goldberg machines seen here on the sift, but that's not what this video is about.

Rube Goldberg machines kind of suffer for me when someone has to decide "Now it's my turn..."

Your video, The Most Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine O'All: Red Bull Kluge, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Thats one of the most creative things Ive ever seen. I've viewed some great Rube Goldberg machines before, but this one had something special about it.

Great! Now make this a component in a Rube Goldberg machine and really impress me the internet.

I suggest adding "Rube,Goldberg,machine" to the tags.

That wasn't a real lens. It was the Canon promo mug that looked like a lens. So no worries.

I had the same reaction as @MarineGunrock, thanks for putting my nerves at ease.

OK. I take your meaning about proof of concept for the 3D glass printer thing, but for this particular one, at no time will consumers at large accept paper products with burn marks around the edges. They'll have to be cut off, and then it would make more sense just to cut it with a blade in the first place. Now, that blade could be sun-powered, but that's a different concept.>> ^MaxWilder:

Calling this eco is like calling a Rube Goldberg machine efficient. Just because it uses solar panels doesn't mean it's environmentally friendly.
All that plastic and metal, on top of that driving out to the desert and back, not to mention all the materials consumed in designing it, to do with solar power in a few hours what you can do better in a couple minutes at home with a pair of scissors and a hole-punch.

Wow, you are so missing the point. This guy is doing proof of concepts. Of course it would take resources to set up, but once it is, you could use nothing but solar energy to do what factories are burning fossil fuels to do. Indefinitely.
Of course his machines are very crude, but his goal is to get people thinking about utilizing free and abundant resources of the desert. Others can refine the ideas however they might want to apply it.
