Clockwork: K'nex Ball Machine

Clockwork: K'nex Ball Machine Clockwork is an amazing ball machine constructed with K’NEX building toy pieces by 21-year-old Austin Granger (aka “Austron“) of St. Paul, Minnesota. The structure is made up of over 40,000 pieces, over 450 feet of track and it took Austin approximately 8 months to complete. Once the two illuminated computer-controlled balls take off onto the track, it really brings the beastly machine to life. User: spam_vigilante Sep 14, 2012 11:48 AM

Melvin the Mini Machine

Melvin the Mini Machine Early 2012, HEYHEYHEY had some time to spare and they felt the need to challenge themselves once again, so they set out to build another one of their chain reaction machines called Melvin. Conveniently built in two old suitcases, Melvin the Mini Machine is a Rube Goldberg machine specifically designed to travel the world. Each time Melvin fully completes a run, he ‘signs’ a postcard and sticks a stamp to it - making it ready to be sent. Like its bigger brother, Melvin the Mini Machine also has an online non-physical side which he uses to connect to the people he meets. To keep things truly mobile Melvin uses a smartphone for his online identity. User: Dosetaker Apr 22, 2012 6:43 AM

Audri's Rube Goldberg Monster Trap

Audri's Rube Goldberg Monster Trap Seven-year-old Audri built a monster trap in the Rube Goldberg style. Although it's not his first such machine, he had to have learned a lot doing this, besides having fun. What really impressed me was his realistically modest expectations and his complete joy when the contraption worked. User: spam_vigilante Mar 12, 2012 2:54 AM

Melvin The Magical Mixed Media Machine

Melvin The Magical Mixed Media Machine Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine (or just Melvin the Machine) can be described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Besides doing what Rube Goldbergs do best - performing a simple task as inefficiently as possible, often in the form of a chain reaction - Melvin has an identity. Actually, the only purpose of this machine is promoting its own identity. Melvin takes pictures and makes videos of his audience which he instantly uploads to his website, facebook and twitter account. Besides that he makes his own merchandise. All of this within 4 minutes of craziness which you just have to witness yourself. melvinthemachine.com Concept & art direction: HEYHEYHEY | Designteam De Ploeg: HEYHEYHEY, Frank Winnubst, Bas van Hout, Bart Bekker, Jeroen Hezemans, Wouter Corvers, Bram de Vries, Dick Lafeber | Directed & produced by: HEYHEYHEY | Steadicam operator: Joost van Poppel | Focuspuller: Adriaan van de Polder | Boom operator: Andre Philips | Sound mixed by: Bram Meindersma | Editing by: Sander van der Aa | Music: Woody & Paul | Sponsors: MU, The Cre8ion.Lab, De Ploeg, Municipality of Eindhoven.
