Note: please start reading slowly and increase your reading speed over time, it will make it more fun :)

It starts with the hand pushing against the switch, a motor activates the wheel, a ball then rolls over a ledge hitting a cup, taking the cup away from its blocked position, a 1kg weight pulls the cup up, activating the seesaws, the seesaws form a funnel ball rolls on the spring release, spring releases, ball flies against guide, scores 3 points by falling thru the basket, the ball falls on top of a paper plane which pushes out the rubber band holder, paper plane gets launched hitting the switch and the machine is back off!

Thanks to Jason Eppink.

P.S. I hope this is rube goldberg enough? (5 years and 3815 days ago)

Well, I pretty much ran out of time trying to make it look nice, so here's what I got:

When an alarm clock rings - it crawls down the table (from vibration) and falls into a bucket.

The bucket pulls the rope, which in turn pulls the trigger of a crossbow.

The crossbow releases the arrow, which hits the target.

The target falls, hitting the scissors.

The scissors cut the rope, and a trapdoor falls, releasing the ball on the shelf.

The ball rolls down the shelf and falls on another target, which serves as a lever to the gas bottle.

The gas ignites, boiling the kettle.

By the time you get out of bed your coffee is piping hot!

Once again, I ran out of time, so don't look for nice shadows and stuff )))

PS: used a lot of sources, just for the fun of it. Gas bottle photo is from my backyard. (5 years and 3809 days ago)

Created in C4D and Photoshop, hope you like it.

Here is how it works.
1. Person who wants drink starts dominos at the end of the table.
2. Split in the domino's one lane releases a spring on a wooden box which raises the water jug and pours into the glass.
3. Tennis ball is pushed by other domino's and falls into a grate, which with the extra weight slides down its wooden holder.
4. This starts a new set of domino's which hit into some little army men who are holding up a golfball.
5. When knocked they let go of the golfball and it rolls into the next set of domino's.
6. These tumble into a spring which is released.
7. The spring releaded hurls the baseball up at a slight angle and it lands in a basket on the back of the pouring device and weights it down so it stops pouring. The glass of water is ready. (5 years and 3810 days ago)
