This is a clever dice rolling machine designed and assembled by The Karakuri Channel from 3D printed parts. When USB powered, it’s capable of rolling two mini dice over and over, collecting the dice after a roll, sending them up an elevator, and rerolling (complete with two rings that descend
This is a timelapse of a 3D printer platform built by Youtuber multipoleguy that adds an additional two axes (not golden though) to a typical 3-axis printer’s movement, allowing prints “with up to a 70º overhang in all directions, reducing the need for support structures.” That’s something. Something perfect for
This is a video of Fingerbirgit, an automaton built by Hknssn, who describes himself as “creator, inventor and slightly insane.” I trust him. The automaton is powered via hand crank or lowering weight, and uses 1,170 pieces to delicately spin a globe in its five talons while the fingers take
This is a video from a burrito factory (that, despite the mess everywhere, is still way more hygienic than the places I like to eat) of a SIGMA Equipment Solbern BF2 SS Dual Lane Burrito Folding machine doing its thing. Based on all the loose tortillas and filling thrown about,
The brainchild of Matty from Unnecessary Inventions, the Snackuum is anything but. Consisting of a small wrist-mounted vacuum and a suck-tube extending to the tip of your index finger, you can use it to pick up and eat cheese puffs and other dusty snacks without turning your fingers orange. Me?
This is a video of E.A.R.L., an industrial bowling robot developed by the United States Bowling Congress (and what a Congress it is!) to test bowling balls. E.A.R.L. has managed to bowl perfect games, but has yet to bowl 3 perfect games in a row. There’s always room for improvement
Always one to push personal transportation to the limit, this is a video of engineer James Bruton (seen previously constructing a personal AT-AT walker) building an omni-directional bike that sits on two giant balls. It works beautifully. And speaking of giant balls– “Elephants?” NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. Up to 2,200-pounds!
Because roasting marshmallows is a science best left to overly complicated machines, this is a video of Steve Price demonstrating his camping themed Rube Goldberg machine, which culminates in the roasting of a marshmallow atop a heat gun. I appreciate Steve’s effort to carry the camping theme throughout the entire
