I completely forgot about all of this until about fifteen minutes ago, when I stumbled upon this construction on the hack-a-day website. This then lead me on to a Youtube binge of useless machines and inspired automata. I think I'm envious of just about every one of these machines. They are clearly a labour of love. Here were my personal highlights. For those cautious of entering the same Youtube binge, its too late.
Automata
Simple but brilliant - Flipping Pancakes
Adorable - Marching Penguins
Sad - An Afternoon in the park
Bizarre - Drifting Apart
Useless machines
Art? - Unplugger
Hot? - Banana Fan
Spinning - Its the things you can't change that change you
