I want this. This would be the most awesome gag present to give as a gift to someone. It would also need a built in speaker to play that perfectly matching BGM. This isn't sold anywhere is it? It looks self made...
Cute, I saw this advertised on another site but didn't watch it there. I wouldn't mind having one of these if the face could actually change like that :) Someone should utilize this technology for something, like if you could hide stuff inside and the box would keep closing unless you knew the secret to stopping the trigger. It'd be a cute little storeage compartment that I would totally buy! :3
hey everyone posting about that other box that also closes itself . .. if you watch this video to the end you will realize this is not the same. the other box did not run around, spin like mad, and then hide its switch.
lurk moar if your dumb enough to assume things that are incorrect
I love this! The old futility boxes SUCK, but this one I would rather enjoy, as long as it's not too hard to reset. I would cackle like mad when I manage to piss it off!
LOL i paused it after he flipped the switch twice and thought it was just gonna be another boring video of the most useless invention ever and then i thought "ill just watch some more to see if anything else happe.. OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS?! I DONT EVEN......"
This is The Ultimate Machine by Claude Elwood Shannon, "the father of information age" .... Al about him and this machine read here http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/36479-the-ultimate-machine-by-claude-elwood-shannon-qthe-father-of-information-ageq
Who cares if this was on other sites, and who cares if this ISN'T a Japan WTF. It's cool, it's fun to watch the first couple of times and it is what it is! ENJOY!
It's probably not something that most people appreciate. But what that box is called is a "Karakuri". It's amazing, because it's a bunch of gears, cams, and rods made out of paper that make it do that. It's used to teach physics to Japanese high school students. Karakuri's can be anything from that box that this video shows, to a paper penguin flapping its wings. Karakuri is awesome.
Epic fail you can so tell that it isn't the same box each time....the video was done in movie editor to make it look like the it was....there is no way a wooden box emotion could really change faces people.
of course there is - the letters are only held in position by some weak force - this force (static or something like that, maybe material friction) is overcome by the spinning and the pieces of paper, or whatever they are, are thrown into confusion. it's a deliberate part of the art meant to add to the curiousity.
