I am an inventor of useless machines. Here's my device for reading the newspaper while drinking coffee.
► Welcome to my channel! I am an inventor of useless machines.

New York Times interview with Joseph Herscher:

I gotta get me one of those contraptions. Papercuts are no joke!

[RottenLegacy]

I legitimately flinched when the laptop fell off the table

[xoxolatl]

Pure creative genius. Can't help but wonder how much trial, experimentation, and error was involved before coming up with this. And I love your mom's band.

[ultracubing]

It's almost been 9 years and we still watch these videos! Love these contraptions! :D

[hyukpj]

The very definition of a Rube goldberg machine! I applaud you good sir!

[freddiemercury]

Showed this to my 7 year old niece and my 73 year old Dad and they were both creasing up.
This is the best channel ever :)

[SpriceMachines]

This is me in the future! And I am so using your cup rolling over tape idea, that's just too genius!

[carolconnelly]

This is my favorite Rube Goldberg machine ever! It reminds me so much of the original Rube Goldberg cartoons. I mean, it has a real animal and steam filling up a sponge. Just awesome!

[prnorton]

i help u to turn a page, just give me the laptop😂

[archiefarrell]

Hey, Great video. I love how the whole chain reaction thing works. It would really be cool if you did simple little tutorials for little projects, to get people started into inventions

[jadkharrat]

This is genius. I love this. But what if the hamster walk to the other side from the beginnig?

[TheDoer]

I literally watched this in class for all examples of energy. Super cool.

[dimitristill]

This is the first video I've ever watched on Youtube. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[Xyronium]

Yeah That´s muche easier than turning pages myself. From now on I will set up this mechanism everytime I want to turn a page in my book.

[rrenardprof]

This is a great tribute to "Incredible Machine" (old DOS game, from 1993-). Realy great!

[kkhoi]

We watched this at school Edson love this too

[Rzra]

I love how he complicates such mundane things

[sanjusaju]

After all those rampage he just turned only one single page 😂

[AlbertoCarranza]

Haha, it justs seems like a lot of effort for just turning a page. Brilliant though....

[EasyModeEden]

... its a Rube Goldberg machine. The whole point is that it over-complicates things. I love this thing.
