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.

That last one doesn't rely on physics apparently.

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.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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!
