Ah noaaa Don-
Ahm t'inkin' he's Jamaican, mon!
At the risk of dating myself, Rube Goldberg was an inventor.....a very creative one at that! Didja ever play the kids' game mousetrap? Rube Goldberg could very well have created that mousetrap....
How'm I doing Charlie?

Good one. A friend sent the Honda UK link to me a couple of weeks ago and I must have watched it a dozen times. Very cool waste of time.
Take care

Rube Goldberg
I like the part where the oil slows down the bearings just enough....Or the car is balanced so well at the end just the motion of the hatch closing causes it to move ! WOW

That second tire on the ramp is the one that gets me! It seems impossible that it would have the momentum to hit the last one!

Unless the tire was purposly imbalanced with hidden weights of significate volume to overcompensate for elevational / gravitational differences, thereby allowing for the tire to creep up the ramp. Wish I could ascertain this fact -- but cannot.
But then again -- what the hell do I know.

"At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.
