This is a video demonstration of an onion cutting and peeling machine that automatically orients onions to horizontally cut their tops and bottoms off, then rips their paper skins off with a blast of high pressure air. How about that! And here I thought onions were all peeled by hand

These are two videos from MoriROBO, a Japanese robotic food handling company, demonstrating The Q Crepe Robot, a countertop robotic crepe maker that spins crepes like your favorite records. But, instead of producing tasty jams, it produces delicious crepes. Yum! So, if you were wondering why I’ve already packed on

This is a video demonstration of a Sparck Technologies packaging machine creating a perfectly sized box for a product (in this case a loose Peppa Pig plushie), using 3D imaging to calculate its precise dimensions. It then packages the item in the box for shipment. How about that! Of course

In Metal Gear Solid news, this is a video from the fun-loving Finnish couple of Beyond The Press at a factory to see how a 10-ton bevel gear is machined. How are they machined? Very slowly, and it takes about two weeks to finish one gear. For reference, if I

Because how it’s made is often a fascinating process (especially love), this is a video from a factory where a GWIN TECH blow-molding machine makes an entire boat from a solid piece of plastic. The blow-molding process involves heating a bladder of plastic so it’s nice and malleable, then pressing

These are a couple videos from industrial machine manufacturer TEXTOR of two of their robotic slicing machines designed for cutting meat and cheese for pre-packaged sale. They cut so fast you can’t even see it happen — there’s just a block of meat or cheese on one side of the

You’re all familiar with the useless machine, right? It’s a box with a switch and every time you press the switch a hand comes out of the box and turns the switch back off. And that’s all it does. Pretty useless. “Look who’s talking.” Hey! Your insolence aside, this is

This is a video of 37 different homemade chain reaction machines built by 37 different people played back-to-back so it appears that the ball is traveling from one machine to another like it’s all one giant Rube Goldberg machine. Some of those machines are CLEVER. Some of them less so.
