Isaac Newton vs. Rube Goldberg

________

Coming soon is a behind the scenes with an in-depth look at how these elements work as well as another video showing how we shot this upside-down monstrosity

My guesses:
1) The metal ball is magnetic.
2) The swing is balanced with a slightly heavier end above.
3) The "dominoes" are the opposite with the heavier end below.
4) The small weight is heavier than the big weight.
5) Magnet in the car.
6) Magnetic ball again.
7&8) Simple gravity.
9) Balls are being shot out. The ones you see in the bowl are glued in place.
The rest is basic simple gravity at work.
Overall it is pretty simple yet imaginative. Good job.

For those who are asking, the song is "Happy Days are Back" by Alex Khaskin.

I absolutely loved that.  Despite my having really got round the first, second and third laws with my machines, your display is far better.Kind regards, Nick

First part is upside down, clearly. As for rolling balls around... magnets are amazing! (the reason the "top" is metal), the rest of it is simple gravity at work. As for the cans after the camera angle change, those are actually easy. The first that appears to be magically sitting there with out rolling... simply has a weight on the inside(the acceleration isnt steady and gives it away.), the second one, weight and a rubber band on the inside. Very cool indeed. Great work guys!

Well done. Even the music choice is inspired. Love your creativity here.

Here's my guess.1st 1/2 of vid shot inverted, as everything is bolted down, and (1)ball can roll magnetically, (2)pendulum can hit plates, (3)plates got me stumped(Little magnets?), car can roll magnetically, ball is pushed by plunger, 2nd ball is held by magnets.block on ladder is magnetic.bowl is a sham, beads coming out of hole behind it.rest before camera tilt is gravity fed.You can see the 2nd ring & bob on chain swing at about :30.box has magnet.Most of it can be seen in "teaser"at end.Great Job!!

You are the only person I have seen so far that has understood the cylinder trick!

[PaulCarter]

Such an original idea. Fantastic composition of all the items. And great music choice. Good job!

[TheMaskedUnit]

This is not only impressive but also funny :D Good job!

Magnets used in a Rube Goldberg machine? Impressive work. The various magnetic contraptions look awesome and put in a new twist into the machine. In addition, the various tricks to fool viewers went out well with magnets used to their greatest extent.

Ingenious. I've got it worked out in full, I think - but that in no way detracts from the cleverness. Well done.

I just watched all your Rube videos. Very cool, but this one is amazing. I subscribed to your channel so now I'll know when the "behind the scenes" video of this one is posted.

[Valensiakol]

Very awesome! One of the better Rube Goldberg machines I've seen.

[eganimation]

Very very nice. Where is the making off video? Couldn't find it on youtube / website.

[Galacticavatar]

0:42 - How did that second can roll up the ramp?

[bmbirdsong]

Great video. Nicely done effects. Can't wait to see the behind the scenes video.

I agree; neodymium magnets can be ridiculously powerful, e.g., K&J Magnetics have one with over 1200lbs of lifting or, attraction force--it's a one time application magnet. I bought my brother a small one that lifts 50lbs.

all of our science teachers making us watch this to learn energy:

First it was upside down with magnets then normal with gravity....
The wall kinda thing in the first set is not ON the table it's coming from inside so it's a setup...

[stickstriker]

First half mainly used magnets to look as though it was right-side up.

Second half is pretty normal, but uses more magnets to give a deceptive image.
