    Default The most amazing thing you will ever see!

    This is crazy....

    It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

    You can find a bunch of really good Rube Goldberg devices by following this link or by searching ピタゴラ装置 in youtube.

    wow...and yeah I too doubt the whole thing was 1 take. Mythbusters tried tackling something like this once, and they had a near impossible time getting it to all run in 1 take. And it wasn't anywhere near as complicated as this one. Still, amazing So many creative ways to transfer energy...just better make sure nobody walks in front of that dart board...
