The Pancake-O-Matic Rube Goldberg Machine

Happy Eggs linked up with a team of designers to create a Wallace & Gromit-style device that makes pancakes from eggs laid just minutes before. The cracking contraption takes its cue from a free range hen laying an egg to set in motion a chain reaction that makes the world's freshest pancake.

The Pancake-o-matic took a team of four design engineers more than 200 hours to construct and a further 100 to test. The device which will go on display at the Design Museum later this month, uses a wide selection of household objects including an old-style gramophone and an electric whisk and features a luxury nest throne for the hen to lay her egg in. A recipe for deliciousness? Totally.

Bonaparte's ridiculously named official video for their Rube-Goldbergian noise fest was made possible thanks to the power of Lego. Using a variety of Mindstorms working in tandem, Peter Cocteau assembled this synchronized take on the 1:20 track, taken from the album 'Sorry We're Open,' the third studio album by the Berlin based indie-punk band.
