Completing Rube Goldberg Series One (New Machine Inside!)
    #10503795 - 06/14/09 09:46 AM (14 years, 9 months ago)

Well, Consider this thread the End all Be all Rube Goldberg/Donald Drake Style Kinetic Art thread...for the time being.

This last machine, which we will get to in a bit (It is the last video at the bottom, if you don't want to read any of this) I consider the last of Series A. Why the last?

Well, because in a way, I need a whole new object set; The first game is over and the sequel is being prepared.

I mean I will still use the same marbles/balls...metal ramp will stay, as will random knick-knacks. BUT a man can only roll the same coffee can so many times before I need to replace it with, say...a Drinking Bird. Also, I haven't even used fire, water, or really have done things with motors and electricity yet. There is so much to cover!

So this post will contain all my machines, bac to back, to illustrate the intended variety and consistency initially conceived of. (You all see this as a semi-regular video, I see it as ONE LARGE MACHINE, in a way, because in theory all machines could exist as one.


Bowl Packer Model Number A

Well, this is TECHNICALLY my first one I built. The biggest and longest, and easilt the one that ate up the most time. My first time I wanted to go big.

It was originally TWICE as long. It was originally a little over 4 minutes but at some point I got sooo frustrated. The ting took 8 months to build and I tried filming it for a month straight but never got the shot i wanted. It had easily over 300 tries before I "forgot about that one for a while"
----------------------------------

So here i am with this big ass cool machine, and the mindset "Dammit, I can make these things, why haven't I got a video yet?!"

I told myself not to worry, and I decided to build a small one, to "prove to myself", that the big one wasn't working because "It wasn't ready"-Mind games for sure, but at least it got me going in a good direction with the Rube Goldberg projects.

So I built this "Machine One", as a trial for "Tiny Machines"--I conider it a pilot--it lacks some traditional themes, the lighting is bad and the tricks are ALL RIGHT. (It may be better than the Food Spolier, though)

"Machine One" (Technically a "Calculator"---very stupid:-)


At this point I was trying to blend the Rube's and my Comic Series, "A guide to Reality"---which it is still vaguely bended but not as string as originally intended. However, the labelling aspect still fits when It fits, so to speak (I.E. the Delcine of Civilization to label a ramp)


Random Number Generator

This I consider my first "Real Machine"-Having the ideology that they actually "DO SOMETHING" and the I have many names and quip at the end. This marked the point where I knew I wanted to do this as an art form, as It came out exactly how I wanted and stimulated the thirst for it.


Painting Maker

A Variation of how to utilize the space/energy of my drawer. I am a big fan of using the same thing differently, and Rubes excel at this.

Food Spoiler

This, admittedly is not very good compared to my others, but it may be FUNNIER. this was also the first time I truly experimented with flat plane (I.E. my floor). It probably explains
its very "Dominoe" like feel, even though it doesnt use that many actual dominoes. The domino is essential no matter what, in any shape or form.

Music Maker

This is when It started getting good, In my opinion, and took no prisoners when it comes to object use. This stil remains one of my favorites; The ending is charming (chiming?) and the tricks and pacing still remains a template to me.

Weed Motivator

"The machine inspires you to get high?"
What does that even mean? It means it is weed related, forever bonding the humor aspect with stoners, which was intentional. Psychedelics makes these
even cooler in my opinion. This was a machine which also contained tricks from viewer feedback! It is always going to be special!

Season's Greetings Sender

This I consider in the top five best. I admit it: My floor is not level, and slopes towards the wall where the Pestle rolls. It is what made this machine possible. Working with the environment is a big passion of mine, so I the slope has come in handy beyond this machine.

Stash Locater

This is probably the most "comedy Skit based one"--I LOVE the drop at the beginning. Sometimes, a good marble drop can be more interesting than other things in a machine.

Mood Indicator

I get stoed about rolling the ball bearing in a Captain Morgan bottle cap. Kind of the main trick of this machine, even though it is at the end.
Sometimes, I will build a machine around a single idea.

Post Maker

I think this is the first Rube Goldberg to ever hit an enter button to make a post, but I could be wrong.

Random Letter Generator

The spiritual successor to the "random number generator" (which is where I got the idea from) Why do you need a R.L.G? You just do, okay. this marks the use of slime, which I pan to explore again, eventually. (I.E. assimilation!)


De-motivator

I love rolling nuts.
Kinda the point of this machine, but the Marble in ring may have been cooler.

Game Player

The inspiration for this was the Awesome Ball in Baby Wipe bucket trick.
I watch it occasionally just for that.


Positive Message Machine

First use of motors. Maybe it went on a bit long.

Stash Locator 2: Leglize it!

Because the first one was popular, I made a second one...also because I couldn't think of what this one would do. SO...it'd find my weed. Again.

Time Waster-Rube Goldberg

This one was inspired by using my attic space, rather then my bedroom. there was so much space to utilize, I felt more at home in my bedroom, jut because it would have been a while before I knew it like the back of my hand like my room. The machine becae a Time Waster because i actually got lazy, and too hot in the attic. It "wasted my time" so I wasted yours:-)

Apologizer-Rube Goldberg (RickRollR)

A ploy. Not really an apologizer but a ...

Bowl Packer Model Number B-Rube Goldberg

This machine contains tricks and parts from the "Original Bowl Packer" Basically this is the second half of what used to be one large bowl packer.
There will be a third.

Peace Maker-Rube Goldberg

This may be the most complex machine. The whole beginning is really a set up to roll a marble down one ramp. It's insane and may be my second favorite.
(Bowl Packer: MNA is my first)

Binary Machine

The ending on this is admittedly a harsh, and very very cynical/sarcastic. I actually wanted yes and got No, and didn't feel like getting a Yes take, because that took over 50 tries to get on film.

The tetherball and Rap at a 45 degree angle which chokes the ball causing it to move slow but rotate fast is so gravity porn.

THE TINGER
TAPE MEASURE FTW.


ENJOY!

I have infinite names!

Nope! I'm "Underground";)
I want to try to arrange the series as to pertain to portfolio data/functioning, but I need to do a bit more research.:blush:

Yes.
I'm actually starting something new to do with Kinetic based art using the same objects but is not Rube Goldbergs.

Basically, Series 2 will start once the next Rube Goldberg comes out. and this will happen when I spend some money (The least I have to) to acquire new objects.

I have a few, but not the amount needed
for me to consider doing another one. Inspiration seems to come in the form of flea markets and yard sales.
