Mechanics without a cause

We – Bubi, Joe and i – have ‘just’ talked about a mechanical apparatus that would be programmed to prepare coffee in the morning just like this breakfast machine in the first Back to the Future movie that even included preparing an egg. Well, now that we are living in the wonderful world of the web 2.0 we can get quite a lot of inspiration by viewing clips of Rube Goldberg machines. Bubi – a bright mechatronics student – has just send me this one where a tea bag is finally thrown into a cup – after detouring a marble around a labyrinth of things. I would like to add some Japanese jewels of Rube Goldberg machines with impressive mechanics, materials, and music. More of these kinda things on Google Video or YouTube. DIY at its best.
