      A "Rube Goldberg" machine is an overly complicated and multi stepped machine designed to do a simple task, i.e., turn a page. It's not supposed to be practical, your supposed to see how many steps you can get.

      do you know what type of chemicals are used?

    • @JosephsMachines
      @JosephsMachines  7 лет назад +66

      Potassium Permanganate and Glycerin. Use a tiny amount of each though, it's a pretty violent reaction!
