You are an ignorant engineer who could never build one more efficient you stupid man. This machine is very efficient and stored all that energy and was able to complete the task.
Efficiency of energy use, perhaps, but what about efficiency of labor to manufacture? How about all the energy that was consumed in fabricating all of the parts that went into building it? One would have to open a lot of wine bottles with 100% energy efficiency to balance out the energy footprint of constructing the machine. My point #1 was intended as dry humor, not a serious criticism. I regret that this was not evident.
hahaha, excellent!! 1. I'd like to get my hands on it before you do though. Engineers are renowned for their need to duct tape everything.... and in this case, that would clearly spoil the wine pouring process. 2. I know you, like myself, don't really care about how inefficient this contraption is because It's wine and entertainment all rolled into a beautifully complex piece of machinery that looks like it could result in the loss of a finger or two after a few glasses. Allround, perfect.
It always saddens me to see a comment intended as humor be treated so disrespectfully.....you are a human who takes the higher road for which I have great respect.....unlike the commentary provided by a person with a suitable name presumably equal to his intelligence
Not a single reasonable human being would look at this and say "Oh, the purpose of this thing is clearly to pour a glass of wine." It's an art piece, like any Rube Goldberg machine is.
Agreed joiless is not reasonable and the purpose of this thing is not "clearly to pour a glass of wine." The purpose of this MACHINE!!!! is to open the bottle of wine and then pour a glass of wine !!!!!!!
This should be steam powered and in my house, I'm sure my wife would love it as much as I would. I don't even drink wine, I'd invite guests over and buy the cheapest bottle of wine and force them to watch me do this... every time they come over.
After the absolutely perfect removal of the cork and the elegant approach to the wine glass, I was expecting the machine to then pour the wine everywhere but in the glass.
The thing I like best is that the cranking is actually lifting the counterweight for the pouring machine. So his cranking is winding the spring of the pouring machine while opening the bottle.
Or a proper steam engine! That's what we have this modern marvel of engineering for. I preview that in a few decades contraptions like this powered by steam will revolutionise the art of bottle opening.
Wow, he managed to make the most inefficient machine ever. Just imagine a time when you can open a bottle of wine and pour a glass with just 8000 cranks of the wheel!!
Excellent as a piece of art. Entertaining, precise and has a lot of control, which I think is the main point here. However, I think I'd still use my hands and a traditional cork screw.
@randtherrin I agree that it could definitely fit into a steampunk setting with little effort, but just because it could, doesn't mean that it's steampunk. A lot of the steampunk aesthetic is based on actual, old technology. It's a bit disheartening to see a bunch of people look at what could ostensibly be an real piece of industrial revolution era machinery and call it out as belonging to a subgenre of alternate-history science fiction. Steampunk is fantasy, industrial era happened for real!
O mais interessante é imaginar o QUANTO ESSE CARA É DESOCUPADO E OCIOSO! tirando isso, Inteligente pra caraleo (ideia simples, mas quero ver vc fazer igual)
@steventruongdotcom It takes a genius to come up with something like that out of spare parts. Wherever he got his education the teachers obviously knew what they were doing.
All, very interesting but immediately a thought comes to mind. What about subsequent glasses? How is the pouring action initiated now that the cork extraction procedure is completed and not required?

I am an engineer, and I have to say two things about this machine:
1. It is the least efficient wine opener I could possibly imagine.
2. I want one!

Maybe a little over engineered

You just answered your own question. There are no reasonable people.
Agreed joiless is not reasonable and the purpose of this thing is not "clearly to pour a glass of wine." The purpose of this MACHINE!!!! is to open the bottle of wine and then pour a glass of wine !!!!!!!
This machine has it all - artistic ingenuity, mechanical design and a sense of humor
An designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to remove.
For those with a machining/machinery background you know what you are looking at, which is an amazing piece of work....
This should be steam powered and in my house, I'm sure my wife would love it as much as I would. I don't even drink wine, I'd invite guests over and buy the cheapest bottle of wine and force them to watch me do this... every time they come over.
When you have no wine opener so you got to improvise :D
LONG LIVE THE AGE OF THE SIMPLE MACHINES AND MACHINES MADE OUT OF THEM!
How have I only just seen this now? Brilliant job.
Mechanical engineering at its finest :)
Only peasants pour wine with their hands
Beautifully Ridiculous! And yet, so Awesome! Bravo! You just know the wine tastes better when it has been poured by such a fine machine too!
An elegant bit of machinery. Love it.
TEN THOUSAND TIMES YES. CAPS ARE MANDATORY TO ATTEMPT TO IMPART HOW AWESOME THIS IS.
I have a collection of wine openers at home, but not this one. Must have, after I get a bigger house, that is.
Genius ! I love the steampunk désign.
I find this machine very convenient, because sometimes I need a bottle opened and a glass of wine poured.
That just seems a real technical piece of art and masterpiece, only in England!
Minha nossa senhora protetora dos maquinários!!! Isso vai ajudar muita gente!
Like dwarven touch !! 😍👍 i love the spteampunk style machinarium!!
Wow! All those moving parts!
After the absolutely perfect removal of the cork and the elegant approach to the wine glass, I was expecting the machine to then pour the wine everywhere but in the glass.
Some folks have way too much time on their hands...Thank goodness TY 4 sharing
The thing I like best is that the cranking is actually lifting the counterweight for the pouring machine. So his cranking is winding the spring of the pouring machine while opening the bottle.
Just brilliant, I love it…not to mention how economical on wine. Pays for itself. 😄
amazing contraption from a very clever and lovely guy
Or a proper steam engine! That's what we have this modern marvel of engineering for. I preview that in a few decades contraptions like this powered by steam will revolutionise the art of bottle opening.
What would really top this off is a solar panel powering a stirling engine that drives the hand crank.
Or a steam engine!
Maquina para abrir y servir vino. Estéticamente parece la “La máquina del tiempo” de la novela de ficción del escritor británico Herbert George Wells.
Seems like a great opportunity to have it actually be powered by steam.
i don't think i can wait THAT long for a glass of wine
I am in awe of this!
"Darling, can we have a quietly glass of wine?"
Me: "Forget about it, you can't have both...you have to choose"
By 2020, everyone will have one of these their home.
Except for me because I don't drink any kind of alcoholic beverage. Ever.
I dont think so
well i'm sorry to inform you
...imagine my disappointment...
Bruh
This is how the government would go about pouring a glass of wine.
Oh wow! Mesmerizing!
That was very cool!
How delightfully impractical! I must have one! :D
Really cool! Thank y for sharing!
Splendid, 100% Steampunk
....El mejor sacacorchos de bolsillo que he visto!!!! ^_^
Beautiful machine! It looks like it came out of a Jules Verne book!
Now all we need to do is invent an android to turn that crank for us, and we can have out wine poured automatically!
+spiritbx1337 Remove handle. Insert powerdrill. Go.
For a minute there I thought you were describing the world we live in.
you know, hobbies and interests can lead to total epicness.
This is why I love clockwork.
Weeks, months, years until i finally made something that could open my bottle of wine. Genius...
that looks much more convenient and inexpensive than using a little handheld corkscrew
Okay, now that is awsome!!!
very cool work of art
"Honey shall I open the Pino?"
"Yeah, I mean I have to be at work in 12 hours, but I guess."
yes, I would Seriously rather have this than a modern robot. This is an amazingly exquisite entertainment device.
All that redundancy would make any engineer cry inside.
You Sir deserved one free internet with this.
Luckily i dont have one of these or i would be drinking 4 or 5 bottles of wine a day just to watch this amazing gadget working!!
This is a thing of beauty. It should be steam-powered though..
Awesome! A steampunk Rube Goldberg machine! :-D
"I lost my wine opener. Well.."
Wow, he managed to make the most inefficient machine ever. Just imagine a time when you can open a bottle of wine and pour a glass with just 8000 cranks of the wheel!!
That is so very cool
I drank 2 bottles of wine while watching this guy opening one...
Beautiful!
Wow! What some people can create! Amazing!
That's not a bottle of wine, that's a bottle of pure awesomesauce.
Opening wine like a steampunk sir
Amazing piece of engineering, back with a pencil ✏ and paper. 😇🙏
Merci Bernadette d'avoir pensé á moi en voyant cette super mécanique !
Excellent as a piece of art. Entertaining, precise and has a lot of control, which I think is the main point here. However, I think I'd still use my hands and a traditional cork screw.
Oh, there it goes...yup...my mind's blown!
Double the time and triple the labor. But it doesn't matter, impressed the girls and feel like a sir.
And it pours just the right amount. Thank you.
I wish everything looked like this. Buildings, cars etc
This is an alien machine, nothing that cool has ever been done in this planet.
simple and straightforward
Now we can finally drink wine. thank you technology for improving our lives every day
Even more amazing when you found out that he sold the machine for £100.000,00!
awesome man...so complex machine for an easy task....
If only more people would do stuff like this

I don't think you'll sell many of these. I would die of thirst waiting for the damn thing to give me the drink.
So awesome. Favorited.
i want one for Christmas.
Super!!!j'en veut un !!!
Would you like a glass of wine, sir?
Fuck yeah!
Brilliant , even the masters like James Watt , Babcock would be impressed. Pity does not run on steam - LOL
O mais interessante é imaginar o QUANTO ESSE CARA É DESOCUPADO E OCIOSO! tirando isso, Inteligente pra caraleo (ideia simples, mas quero ver vc fazer igual)
Amazing!
where do u buy one ?
that's so wow. i want to buy this. :D . i love 🍷🍸
Amazing technique
what about the latest thing with screw tops?
I do love the gears very much indeed.

Gayle Miller
Oo you tart! My eyes have moistened.
Now why didn't I think of that?
Mind you, with that contraption anticipation would be everything.
It definitely gave the wine time to "breathe".
Brilliant!
Are there any blueprints available?
That's what a quantum computer looks like!
Merveilleux!!!!!
Industrial art!😎
