Purdue Rube Goldberg Machine Claims Guinness World Record
Рет қаралды 1,162,875
13 жыл бұрынThe 2011 Purdue Rube Goldberg machine shattered the world record for most steps ever successfully completed by such a machine. In 244 steps, the "Time Machine" traces the history of the world, from the Big Bang to the Apocalypse, before accomplishing the assigned everyday task of watering a flower. The record has been sanctioned by the Guinness Book of World Records and the World Records Academy.

The photography choice of close-ups on small sections diminishes the connectivity and flow of the action. In fact, there is no visual evidence that these individual operations are linked in real time. This video could easily be a compilation of short video clips.

It would be better with a one-shot video, without any editing. Otherwise how can we enjoy the fact that everything is chained ?

I love these Rube Goldberg Machines. There always so simple, yet something I could barely accomplish building.

Noisy, rattly, doesn't do anything any everyday task, and every move is hidden, so we can't actually see what is happening, or indeed if anything IS happening. For all we know, it all runs on electrical power underneath.

It was in one take (you can find the full shot take somewhere on KZfaq) but the camera zoomed into each part so that you can see what's going on. If you look, each part is really small, so it's easier to have it zoomed in to see what's happening.

244 steps isn't very many. Consider the complexity of playing Widor's Toccata on the Wanamaker pipe organ. There's probably a million separate parts that have to work in sync in order to make the thousands of sounds.
