Pythagora Switch
Pythagora Switch (or Pitagora Suicchi) is an educational japanese show for kids… which caught the attention of several grown ups worldwide.
Specially because of the Rube Goldberg Machines… those that are composed of several elements in order to produce a chain reaction.
EDIT: Had to redo the whole post because the videos were all removed.
The show has proximately 15 minutes each episode, and in several moments “Pythagoras Machines” were shown. They are also known as Rube Goldberg Machines or Incredible Machines or some other names.
And there are several others on YouTube… just search for them. Try this search string too.
Are you trying to remember where you saw this before? Remember The Goonies?
There was this famous scene were the characters used such a machine to open the house’s gate…
Ok. But the show goes beyond that… there are several interesting sketches that made me wonder how nice it would be if, as a child, I had such an interesting show to watch.
Watch some more:
Algorithm March (sorry, couldn’t find the original stuff.. just a bunch of fanmade crap)
10 Stick Anime
And this ones are in japanese… but it’s fun to watch even if you don’t understand it.
