We love building cool things and we love sharing our passion. Watch these 2 videos and see how much fun we have all day!

#1. Rugged LED Spotlight

This time-lapsed video is backed with some rocking tunes that shows every detail of how a LED Spotlight mechanical model was made. It’s an awesome visual and a great tool into understanding more about mechanical engineering.

#2. PCB Layout of an Ethernet PHY

Want to see how a printed circuit board layout is designed? This video is a quick overview of how things get done!

We hope you have enjoyed these videos and please share them with your friends! Now get back to work! Chop chop!

5 Cool Engineering Machine Videos to Make You Smile

We love building things and we love watching machines move. Here are some of our latest favorites from the web to brighten up your day.

#1 The Marble Machine

Music and Engineering. A mechanical wonder. This gentleman is part engineer and part musician (as Front man for the Swedish band Wintergatan), and plays this hand-crafted mechanical engineering beast like it’s an instrument. A circuit of 2000 cascading steel marbles activate a vibraphone, an electrical bass guitar, a built-in Turkish cymbal and other instruments. Incredible sounds and fun to watch.

#2. Bridge building machine

Got a bridge you need to build in place? Necessity is the mother of invention. We don’t know how else they would do this, but this machine is amazing in the way it can lift itself up and move things around to build a bridge, in place.

#3. 5-Axis CNC machine

Machining a crank shaft in one shot. I’ll never be this coordinated. Beauty is in the details. Yes, it’s a long watch, but anyone familiar with the complexities of a crank shaft will appreciate the coordination of multiple axes working together to polish the journals.

#4. Lego Mindstorms

This programmable Lego controller system plays Little Talks on an acoustic guitar. If you’ve not played with Legos in a while, this is a great way to engage with them and perhaps get your kids involved (or borrow a neighbor’s kid). We use the same kits in our First Lego League we host here.

#5. Tree Cutting Machine

We love trees, but when one has to go, this is the way to do it. Obviously, a lot of trees do need to be felled for good and bad reasons, however this machine makes an art of it. The coordination and power and optimization of the design is a lot of fun to watch.

We hope you have enjoyed these videos, now get back to work! But first please share them with your friends!
