I love these things! Last year in Physics we watched a 30 min "course" like this for fun (though there were several time lapse things cause they were also using slow chemical reactions). From the background it looked like an empty warehouse. We made our teacher let us watch it again at the end of the year.
Someone in the class had found info on the net about it..as in ordering info, but it was expensive and I don't remember anything about it anymore.. oh well

edit: ah! found a link about it, correcting some mistakes above, and here's the link: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1087453/reviews.php?critic=all&sortby=default&page=1&rid=3 21582

It's titled "The Way Things Go" (1987) by Peter Fischli & David Weiss

Love it! I guess you know this is known as a "Rube Goldberg" machine or device. You typically see elaborate drawings but never see actual devices of this magnitude. The only part that looks suspicious is the tires bumping into each other while moving up the ramp. I know they are increasingly smaller masses but the momentum doesn't seem to be right. I might be wrong on that, but really a great set up! Mike

Tires are weighted with screws and bolts on top/up-hill side. When they get nudged and roll up-hill, the center of mass is actually lowered. :lol:
Physics is a wonderful thing.
