Impressive Pitagora Suicchi Video


This clip is a compilation of segments featuring impressive ‘Pythagorean devices’ from Japanese kids’ TV programme Pitagora Suicchi (Pythagora Switch). Pop-culture vultures will be familiar with this kind of device from films like Back To The Future and The Goonies.

The ones in this clip are made from the kind of items you would find at home or in the classroom, but are incredibly sophisticated nonetheless. They’re also accompanied by one of those insanely catchy jingles that Japanese people seem to love, so chances are you’ll be humming the tune for the next few days.

    This machines are called Rube Goldberg machines. I love them! xD. It’s like a critique of technology: very complex devices to do a extremely simple task.
