Brick Experiment Channel shows us a LEGO machine that combines 20 different mechanical principles. If that were all this video had, it would be simply fascinating. You have to have a little awe at the engineers who came up with all these ways of controlling movement. But these mechanism are all eventually combined into one LEGO device powered by one motor. See them all work at once is glorious! They labeled the video as a "useless machine," but it is anything but useless as it demonstrates how all these moving parts work, and brings us joy to see the finished product. And besides, it rotates a Viking. (via Boing Boing)

Ah, the same mechanism MB used for the windshield wiper in the 190e.
It may be because I'm familiar with all those types of mechanisms but it strikes me a a lot of work to do nothing.
"Useless machine"? It's a clock!
I remember when we did things like this with a metal "Erector" set rather than plastic LEGOs.
