Saturday - The Can Crushing Machine
Dec. 27th, 2008 08:25 amBack in November, I shot this little video of my son, who had turned his overturned bicycle into a machine to crush soda cans so they could be recycled, and to crush pinecones just because crushing pinecones is fun. Here he is explaining how his device works.
Mind you, this is just one of many machines my son has invented and built. His other engineering triumph was the "honey making machine" he created out of Legos (because "the bees can't make enough honey by themselves"). That machine, which I failed to document before it was disassembled and the pieces were turned into an airplane, would hum and then make a noise that sounded like "hunnyhunnyhunnyhunny" before producing what looked like approximately 1 once of honey that was immediately consumed by the inventor.
