That last one doesn't rely on physics apparently.

Jeeze, that last one.. Definitely deserves the Number 1 spot.

The Magnetic Valves are the most comically over complicated imo. Seriously seems overdesigned.

The diagram shows the ball centered in the spring and off the contact. I can see that rolling a ball is a legitimate way to make a contact, although bizarre.

Thanks for another swell video, Chyros, and a particularly entertaining one. Your comments made me laugh so much I woke up my family (who, like most normal people, were asleep at 1:30 a.m.).

Okay, Futaba MDs have 16 parts each—so with 101 switches per board, that's 1616 switch parts per board. JBBC indeed!
