00:00
when boredom strikes for most people
00:02
youtube
00:03
tv or netflix are the usual remedies but
00:06
when boredom strikes for a highly
00:08
skilled engineer
00:09
brilliant and occasionally bizarre
00:11
things happen from automatic dog petting
00:13
machines to totally ridiculous diy
00:15
vehicles
00:16
let's check out some amazing machines
00:18
built when engineers got bored
00:24
number 20 mantis robot this land
00:27
crawling machine may look like something
00:29
from the transformers franchise but i
00:31
can assure you
00:32
it's very real the machine known as the
00:34
mantis robot was built by matt denton
00:37
a highly skilled designer and inventor
00:39
whose work you may recognize
00:41
matt was in fact the designer of a now
00:43
famous functioning bb-8 robot
00:45
but when he's not working on movies matt
00:47
builds incredible machines like the
00:49
six-legged mantis robot
00:51
which he headed to design build and
00:53
programming over the course of four
00:54
years
00:55
variable controls allow the hydraulic
00:57
legs to move all at once or individually
00:59
for scaling uneven terrain or moving
01:01
obstacles and if you're nervous about
01:04
driving the two ton beasts it can also
01:06
be controlled wirelessly over wi-fi
01:08
with the guinness world record for
01:10
largest rideable hexapod under its
01:12
belt this project is an inspiration to
01:14
aspiring cyborg overlords everywhere
01:18
number 19 self-solving rubik's cube
01:22
all over the world rubik's cubes with
01:23
jumbled colors sit collecting dust and
01:25
the homes of kids who were too impatient
01:27
to figure out how to solve them
01:29
but if everyone had access to the types
01:31
of rubik's cubes takashi kaparagi makes
01:34
those jumbled up rubik's cubes would all
01:36
be solved
01:37
why because takashi's cubes solve
01:40
themselves
01:41
thanks to a combination of position
01:42
tracking algorithms tiny processors and
01:45
a 3d printed rotation system
01:47
takashi's cubes can identify the
01:48
solution and carry it out
01:50
all in around a minute best of all
01:52
takashi's latest design
01:53
incorporates magnets that allow it to
01:55
levitate while it solves
01:57
[Music]
02:01
because everything's better with
02:03
levitation
02:05
number 18 domino coliseum
02:08
there's nothing more satisfying than
02:10
knocking down some dominoes
02:12
but benjamin cruzier takes it to the
02:14
next level using simple wooden blocks to
02:16
create
02:17
absolute masterpieces with the sole
02:19
purpose of knocking them down
02:21
one of his best works a huge 22 000
02:24
block coliseum took three people
02:26
two days to construct and seconds to
02:29
knock down
02:30
but thanks to his immaculate planning
02:32
the collapse is a spectacle in itself
02:37
knocking it all down may seem like the
02:39
last thing you'd want to do after two
02:41
days of solid work
02:42
but for benjamin it's the best part
02:50
17 joseph's machines
02:53
dominoes are one thing but youtuber
02:55
joseph's machines uses household objects
02:58
to create his
02:58
incredible and highly entertaining rube
03:01
goldberg s sequences
03:03
take his meticulously planned out page
03:05
turner for example
03:06
which keeps your hands free while
03:16
reading
03:32
joseph also likes to solve everyday
03:34
problems in extremely creative ways
03:37
like with his somewhat terrifying ham
03:39
slicing machine
03:46
or his tooth brushing machine that locks
03:48
onto the user's head and only releases a
03:50
key after two minutes of brushing
03:54
[Music]
03:56
joseph has produced countless amazing
03:58
machines over the years so to experience
04:00
their brilliance to the fullest

04:06
creative engagements when it comes to
04:09
marriage proposals sometimes the
04:10
standard approach isn't enough
04:12
luckily a handful of skilled creative
04:14
redditors have a solution
04:16
these engagement ring boxes are designed
04:18
with such smooth yet sophisticated
04:20
opening actions
04:21
they run the risk of stealing the show
04:22
from the engagement ring itself
04:24
the carefully designed perfectly
04:26
interlocking pieces are sure to put the
04:28
odds of your partner saying yes in your
04:30
favor
04:32
number 15 christmas contraption
04:35
when the holiday season rolls around
04:37
it's easy to get tired of the same old
04:38
lights and tinsel
04:40
but reddit user gsc gamer426 spotted a
04:43
refreshingly unique set of decorations
04:45
while visiting a friend
04:47
using an ingenious combination of a
04:49
fidget spinner a simple motor
04:50
pulleys hooks and baubles the designer
04:53
created an automated dancing display
04:55
that brings the joys of creative
04:56
engineering to christmas
05:00
number fourteen tremendous fun
05:03
staying on the festive theme we have
05:05
this christmas tree
05:06
designed by jordy moose they can play
05:08
its own version of the classic game
05:10
snake
05:11
using a raspberry pi computer and
05:13
trackable leds to control the snake's
05:15
position
05:16
jordy was able to bring the game out of
05:18
the screen and into his living room
05:20
it can all be controlled using a
05:21
bluetooth dualshock controller
05:23
and with both single and two-player
05:24
modes it promises to put the hey
05:27
hey back into the holidays
05:33
number 13 jet cars when discussing
05:37
engineers with too much time on their
05:39
hands the word jet powered is inevitably
05:41
going to come up at some point
05:42
and indeed there are plenty of examples
05:44
of engineers strapping jet engines onto
05:46
things they probably shouldn't
05:48
like this jet powered smart car put
05:50
together by rocketbilly racing
05:53
[Applause]
06:03
while it certainly gives off an
06:04
impressive flame it's speed is slightly
06:06
less impressive
06:08
so let's check out what a jet powered
06:09
car with a little more oomph looks like
06:12
this is the toyota mr2 jet car designed
06:15
and built by toy junkies
06:17
just listening to those dual rear jets
06:19
howling into action is enough to know
06:21
this car means business
06:28
and when it hits the track at speed the
06:30
real fun starts
06:36
[Applause]
06:47
this crazy project saw the team of
06:49
mechanics strip out the original engine
06:51
of the car
06:52
replacing it with two turbine engines
06:54
usually used in helicopters
06:56
providing movement through exhaust
06:57
thrust these engines which can deliver
06:59
over 100 1100hp aren't the most
07:02
practical
07:03
or safest way to get around but there's
07:05
no denying they look
07:07
absolutely awesome number 12
07:11
norwegian riverboat sadly not everyone
07:14
in this world can afford a luxurious
07:16
yacht or even a small boat to sail the
07:18
seven seas
07:19
but a shortage of traditional boating
07:21
equipment didn't stop this group of
07:23
seafarers captured sailing their diy
07:25
vessel in early 2020
07:27
with a mobile home precariously secured
07:29
onto a homemade hull
07:30
the worthy vessel is pushed along by an
07:32
engine and propeller
07:33
all while proudly bearing the norwegian
07:35
flag if this is norwegian ingenuity
07:38
i'm on board until it inevitably
07:40
capsizes 10 minutes later
07:43
number 11 lego genius
07:46
lego bricks have been the childhood
07:48
starting point for many a future
07:50
engineer
07:50
but some people apply the skill and
07:52
practice of engineering to lego itself
07:54
like the team at jk brickworks these
07:57
bricktastic builders created a tiny lego
07:59
version of the large hadron collider
08:02
appropriately naming it the large brick
08:04
collider with variable speeds this
08:06
contraption uses a simple pair of toy
08:08
wheels and a lego technic motor to
08:10
accelerate the balls around the track
08:12
while it's unlikely to be solving any of
08:14
physics biggest
08:15
questions anytime soon this simple
08:17
system of motors and bricks is a lot of
08:19
fun to watch in action
08:25
even more entertaining is this
08:27
mechanical 3d racing game
08:29
likewise made entirely from lego using
08:31
programmable lego mindstorms hardware
08:34
youtuber brickbox was able to create a
08:36
real-world representation of classic
08:38
arcade racing games
08:40
if it's as fun to play as it looks i'm
08:42
going to need to get at least 10 of
08:43
these
08:45
number 10. homemade roomba cleaning the
08:48
house can be a real chore and not
08:50
everyone can afford a fancy automatic
08:52
roomba to hoover up dust and debris
08:54
luckily reddit user isaacthegamer06 has
08:57
you covered
08:58
with his hilarious and aptly named
09:00
bristlebot
09:01
with a simple battery pack motor and
09:03
brush you too
09:04
can clean one small spot on your kitchen
09:06
floor for hours at a time
09:11
genius right
09:14
number nine sufferbot 3000
09:18
not all feats of engineering have to be
09:20
pleasant case in point
09:22
this hilariously awful device created by
09:24
reddit user yait6
09:26
with a motor a mount a knife and a metal
09:29
sheet the contraption produces what
09:31
might be the most unpleasant sound in
09:32
the world
09:36
now available for purchase in hell
09:39
number eight double decker driving while
09:43
it certainly takes some know-how to be
09:44
an engineer
09:45
that doesn't necessarily mean all
09:47
engineering-minded folk have a good
09:48
sense of health and safety
09:50
like the man who was caught driving a
09:51
car with another car secured to his roof
09:54
in wales in 2019
09:55
while the driver insisted there was no
09:57
risk of the skoda octavia detaching from
10:00
his volkswagen passat
10:01
the police weren't convinced having been
10:03
issued an 80 pound fine in future
10:06
hopefully this double-decker driver will
10:08
only cruise his contraptions in private
10:10
after all no pedestrian wants or expects
10:13
to be crushed by a crazy engineer's
10:14
falling car
10:17
number seven automatic dog patter most
10:20
people enjoy the simple pleasure of
10:22
petting a dog
10:22
but what about folks who are too
10:24
strapped for time to give their canine
10:26
friend the attention they deserve
10:27
well thanks to this clever invention by
10:29
thompson woodworks
10:30
incorporating wooden gears hands and a
10:32
motor a pup can receive a hearty petting
10:35
without their owner being present
10:39
the smaller drill operated version even
10:41
spouts off words of
10:44
you're so praise a slightly less
10:47
effective but no less endearing take on
10:48
the idea was produced by redditor
10:50
paulida perez b
10:51
for her cat it might not be as complex
10:54
but the cat seems to be enjoying it
10:58
number six lightning sword have you ever
11:01
been out on the battlefield slaying your
11:03
enemies and thought
11:04
man i wish this sword could electrocute
11:07
people
11:07
well you're in luck because in 2017
11:10
youtuber jay laser video took it upon
11:12
himself to strap two swords together and
11:14
deck them out with a few
11:15
extras for starters a battery pack
11:17
concealed in the hill powers lights
11:19
along the blades
11:20
perfect for the futuristic warrior
11:22
traveling in the dark
11:24
also hidden in the hilt is a fully
11:25
functional taser which electrifies the
11:27
blades of the sword causing it to shock
11:29
whatever it comes into contact with
11:33
all jokes aside this contraption is
11:35
anything but a toy
11:36
and is one that you definitely shouldn't
11:38
try at home
11:41
number five quasi-turbines
11:44
sometimes the unusual appearance of
11:46
legitimate engineering designs end up
11:48
making them look like they're the
11:49
product of a boring afternoon
11:51
and a few too many cold ones like
11:53
quasi-turbines which despite their
11:55
mind-bending
11:56
appearance are actually meticulously
11:57
designed proposed alternative types of
12:00
engines
12:00
they work by rotating in an extremely
12:03
satisfying manner
12:04
compressing fuel and internal chambers
12:06
until it can bust
12:07
although if i had one i'd probably just
12:09
keep it on my desk to fiddle with when
12:11
i'm bored
12:12
what i'm not an engineer
12:15
number four little eight-wheeler
12:18
for well over a century cars have
12:20
followed the old reliable four-wheel
12:22
formula
12:22
pretty consistently well for the most
12:24
part but the russian auto hackers of
12:27
garage 54
12:28
doubled up on wheels when they modified
12:30
a fiat uno in early 2020.
12:32
with a whole load of metal cutting
12:33
equipment and axles the team were able
12:35
to turn this
12:36
into this and eventually into this
12:39
whether it's a monstrosity or not is a
12:41
matter of opinion
12:43
but with eight fully functioning wheels
12:45
and if you're driving around in this
12:47
who cares about opinions number three
12:51
hutlin kugel motor despite appearances
12:54
this strange looking metal sphere
12:56
is not part of a yet to be assembled
12:57
robot it's actually a hudlin kugel motor
13:00
a relatively new type of engine designed
13:02
by dr herbert hoodlin
13:04
a man who clearly knows how to spend his
13:06
spare time wisely
13:08
the engine is intended for use as a
13:10
driving range extender in hybrid
13:11
vehicles to provide extra power in
13:13
addition to the vehicle's electric motor
13:15
like a regular engine the kugel motor
13:17
takes in fuel but it can bust it through
13:19
a complex rotation and compression
13:21
process that's totally mesmerizing to
13:24
watch
13:24
represented graphically
13:34
with only 60 components compared to
13:36
roughly 250 in a standard engine
13:39
these unusual spheres are more efficient
13:41
and economical
13:42
and we may be seeing more of them as
13:44
electric vehicles become more prevalent
13:47
number two
13:49
robot mouth sometimes engineering just
13:52
gets
13:52
super weird which is exactly the case
13:55
with this unnerving machine
13:56
produced by a research team at kagawa
13:58
university the robotic mouth is designed
14:01
to simulate the human voice by sending
14:03
compressed air through a silicone
14:04
resonance tube
14:06
complete with a tongue and a plaster
14:08
cast nose
14:09
metal arms compress the resonance tube
14:10
to shape the sound's timber and pitch
14:12
like the muscles in a real human vocal
14:14
tract resulting in
14:16
well this
14:22
[Music]
14:25
until we can make their mouths look and
14:26
sound less terrifying
14:28
perhaps our robot should be seen and not
14:30
heard
14:32
number one tomatan the beauty of
14:35
engineering is that it can be adapted to
14:37
suit
14:37
any need like making eating tomatoes
14:40
easier
14:41
yes i'm serious designed by japanese
14:44
juice company kigomi
14:45
this little on the shoulders robot is
14:47
called temeitan
14:49
and was built back in 2015 to provide
14:51
automated nutrition to runners in the
14:53
tokyo marathon
14:54
or at least that was the idea the fact
14:56
that the thing weighs 18 pounds probably
14:58
put all but the most committed endurance
15:00
runners off
15:01
tomatan can be stocked up with tomatoes
15:03
around the back
15:04
where the little red guy's arms can
15:05
rotate and pick one up before delivering
15:07
it directly to the wearer's mouth
15:09
while it's more likely a publicity stunt
15:11
than an attempt to revolutionize eating
15:13
on the go
15:14
i can't help wanting a little tomatan of
15:16
my own maybe i can train it to bring me
15:18
beer
15:19
which of these ingenious bits of
15:21
engineering impressed or amused you the
15:23
most
15:23
let me know in the comments section
15:25
below thanks for watching
