MarineGunrockIt's a neat idea, sure. But "rocked the world of automation enthusiasts"? I guess it doesn't take much...

Being primarily a software automation guy I thought along the same lines.... perhaps the guy writing the summary is buddies with Dave. Good salesmanship I suppose. (i.e. "The most amazing video with a mole and a chimpanzee hitting a baseball of ALL TIME!!!")
That said, this is amazing to me. The magnetic ball chain was an awesome idea. I only wish I could do this sort of stuff with hardware. I once tried to put a handmade geared setup together and quickly determined I didn't have the skills for the task.
arvanaWell it might not actually rock the world, but there are some high *quality out-of-the-box innovations in that design!
siftbotBoosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by arvana.
dracoirsSeems like something Cave Johnson would enjoy
oohlalasassoonNeat, but its sound is curiously repulsive.
WKBFor a second there I thought it was running under power of magnetic force. That would have been truly world rocking. Once it cut to the hand crank it was a bit of a let down. Still very cool, but it should have shown the hand crank up front to avoid this disappointment.
critical_dFucking magnets, how do they work?
Sorry....I couldn't resist. ;-)
xxovercastxxhe should replace the plywood with some clear plastic so the workings are more visible

Wait, your default assumption was that this was a perpetual motion machine and you feel he should clarify that it isn't ahead of time?
solecisti thought this said, "dave johnson's amazing midget machine"
