10 minute video of Japanese Rube Goldberg Machines
mouser:
This is a really lovely collection of tons of videos of rube goldberg machines (elaborate contraptions usually featuring a ball moving through some intricate devices).
Bet you can't watch just 10 - they are addicting.

from lots of sources

Thanks, great find - fun to watch, just the female voice saying something over and over again is a bit annoying... but I fixed that by muting the sound :D (I wonder if those Japanese texts means "Am I cool or what?" ;) )
He surely was influenced by "Der Lauf der Dinge/The Way Things Go": http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0094300/ They were not using mechanics only but lots of chemical reactions too, awesome to watch! 30 minutes non-stop chain-reactions!

Carol Haynes:
That was great! Thanks

I wonder if Rube Goldberg made those kind of machines before the Danish Robert Storm Petersen... ;)
