  • Not worried about it.

    I subscribe to the KISS principle, Keep It Simple,,,,,.

    The point being is that this can be done with far fewer parts and at far less expense.

    Lets say we use a DPDT switch and a SPDT switch like in the classic design.

    Now add a pair of diodes, a resistor and an LED.

    That takes care of the light, including the delay.

    Add another diode and resistor as well as 2 capacitors and we have the delay circuit (RC) for the motor.

    Perhaps $2 in parts added over the original design.

  • i love this! that would be soooo funny at a party with a bunch of drunks!

  • SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MOMNEY

  • 0:05 "Huh,what do you need?"

    0:06 "Nothing?Get out!"

    

  • Comment removed

  • A microcontroller is way overkill.

    In the original it is simply a DPDT switch set as a reverser switch and a limit switch.

    To add lighting one need only add a lamp to the limit switch circuit.

    To add a 2 stage function simply use a solenoid as the last part of the travel and trip on extend.

    There is nothing but another switch that trips to do this.

    The advantage of doing this totally with switches is that not only is it very simple, and thus reliable, but it teaches KISS.

  • @Arabhacks I was thinking the same thing.. hell, even the delay that was introduced could've been done with an RC circuit or some other discrete components. Definitely overkill.. but Its still neat.

  • @Arabhacks it's a useless machine and you're worried about keeping it simple??

  • Looks like a good holloween decoration. ^w^

  • I would actually buy that thing!

  • thts so funny ill have one !!

  • IT'S EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED... A BOX!! WITH LIGHTS!! AND A SWITCH!!! YAHOO!!

  • Some day we gets angered and kills you

  • IF U CLOSE THE POP OUT IT WILL LIGHT FOR 1HR

  • They need to put a ? bar next to the like/dislike bar

  • Does it angry at some point?

  • *Flips switch* *Lid opens* *Thing inside stares at flipped switch for a second* fuck you *flips the switch off by itself*

    true story.

  • @kiesejas ur just a dumb nerd

  • @camping187 A dumb nerd who benches 200, I might add.

    NERDS ON ROIDS FTW

  • I WANT IT SO BAD NOW!!!

  • I love it!

    That would piss me off twice over though. First, it would piss me off cuz it turns itself off. Then I would get mad at myself for getting mad at a machine doing its job and thinking it would stay on.

  • Dude, I would spend an hour playing with this thing.

  • i don't get it wuts the point of that thing?

  • now all it needs is a recording that plays just as the lights turn on yelling... idk " GOD DAMNIT!" lid opens, during the delay you hear another recording " LEAVE ME ALONE" flicks the switch. maybe even different recordings every time the switch is flipped. only then will u have "the most ultimate"... in my opinion

  • like the dramatic delay

  • its cute :)

  • The perfect way to distract stupid people: Get them to sit in a dark room, give them the box & tell them they can come out when they have the light on for more than 5 seconds :)

  • hey who turned on the lights!?!?!?

  • That's me with most of my friend invites

  • XD 

  • gah! that is so cool!

  • My mom would love this thing, she keeps bugging me about leaving the lights on.

  • where can i get one of these???

  • i really enjoyed the way that "thing" polemically waits before shutting down the switch :)

  • how much redstone?

  • I love it =D

  • damn! that's cooler than a holiday with family.

  • does anyone know where to buy this or one like it?

  • looks flimsy.

  • forever alone

  • you can't terminate yourself !!!11oneeleven

  • That was pretty cute!

  • this machine might replace the television

  • Where can I buy one?!

  • By adding a light, it is no longer useless. It's a sort of dim red, energy effiecient, momentary light.

  • awesome .. well done

  • Self-shutting off!

  • Pandora's box from God of War anybody?

  • its not really useless if it can light up....

  • That is really cool.

  • That would be the best when i'm stoned.

  • It's like Windows that automatically formats and reinstalls itself.

  • @liuton2005 As if Vista wasn't bad enough, are you TRYING to give them ideas? XD

  • @liuton2005 except this works :)

  • i could play with that for ages.

  • A machine that turns itself off... next ur showing me austrian robots covered with living tissue, saying awesome 1 liners traveling back in time?!?

  • I want this for Christmas.

  • love the design and the colours but couldnt you make it move a bit faster?

  • butbutbut you made it more useful...

  • THE POWER TO KILL A GOD

  • It is so funny!

  • I like this philosophical device!

    There are way in our lives that decide for our future.

    Many amongst us use exactly this same strategy, mainly when something that can be important to them happens.

    If you are one of them, listen at that click when arrives! Don’t close back in your life!

  • i want one with thing thing that turns it off is a troll face :D!

  • Who wouldn't laugh after seeing that?! xD brilliant

  • LMAO!

  • you could scale it up into a halloween themed machine.

  • you have desturbed da box to many times

  • It's not uselles , This machine can light a dark place for 4 seconds.

  • @IiIDionisisIiI Haha, you actually counted xD

  • @bluescan92 FOUND NEW USING OF THIS MACHINE!

    -It can learn a baby to count to 4.!

  • @IiIDionisisIiI haha :)

  • You need an angry voice to shout "F*** O**" before the lid goes down.

  • I was watching blazblue videos...how did I get here?

  • Lmao, put a creepy looking finger on it. The way it hesitates would make it look awesome.

  • Do want

  • I made one of those for my son when he was a toddler. Is kept him entertained for days. But ours had music

  • i would play with that for hours

  • That is my home.

  • hey it glows thats cool

  • It lights up for a brief while. that means its used for some light so its not useless xD

  • is it wrong that this amuses me o.O

  • Useless? POINTLESS? Sir, this box is beautiful, so it's not useless.

  • Dude,that's so awesome and pointless!

  • Can you make one that turns itself on then off again? So basically eliminate yourself.

  • @BagelTheWalrus if it's off then how can you make it turn itself on =]?

  • @InJJWeTrust Type into youtube "Self Annoying Box" there is one made with lego's it does exactly what i'm talking about. :D

  • its like it has a personality!

  • 0:02, can't remember, wich way it is..

  • The pushing part should be a zombie hand. XD

  • "Wha? OH YOU DID NOT TURN THAT SWITCH ON" *click*

  • All these "useless" machines are the boredoms destroyers!

  • i like how it opens and waits a second as if it was saying "who da fuck is dis"?

  • Useless? Not really.

  • Looks kinda slow but awesome light though!

  • Comment removed

  • It looks like a demon rising from Heck and pushes the switch XD

  • @DkBieber1 "Hell" is not a swear when you're talking about actual Hell... >.<

  • its the best off all

  • I'm scared of the possibilities

  • just tape the box than you'll show that whos the bos bitch xD

  • thumbs if he should make the wood thing a actual person

  • wh ydo none talk in a deep dark scary voice 'TURN THE LIGHT OUT!'

  • ok i would have one stick that would have nothing and miss the switch by 5 cm the the same part of that stick would be a branch thing with a troll face to turn off the switch

  • it is flammable (it could be used as a fuel or heat/light source)

    it emits light (it could be used as a light source or communication device)

    it produces sound (it could be used as a communication device or music device or a device for own entertainment by the annoyment of others)

    it's consistent in time consumption (it could be used to count the amount of open/close intervals between multiple-moments)

    etc... etc... "I think this device could have many uses, there for making it possibly useful."

  • @xetrius you obviously don't get it. it's called the "useless machine" because the stick represents an actual machine which doesn't want to work. when you turn the switch on, the machine turns the switch off like it doesn't want to be bother hence calling it useless. smartass -___-

  • @OfficiallyMrStud Then they maybe should call it "the foreign machine" or "the dark box" (black box was already taken) and something that doesn't work or doesn't want to work isn't useless by default. Also it's contradictory to call me a smart-ass while trying to correct me.

  • @xetrius OH JUST FUCK OFF ALREADY!

  • @ADRENELINEDUDE hmm... you must be 12 let me respond in a similar manner: "TITS OR GTFO FU LOW-LIFE ANIMAL HUMPING BITCH"

  • The Features of this AWESOME object:

    -It opens if you switch the lever

    -IT GLOWS!!!

    BUY IT NOW!

  • i love these things!

  • il make one that pulls out a gun

  • @TheSovietBears Make a video and load it up. ^_^

  • lol its the 2nd best the best one is the one made by this japanese 

  • slow, but funny XD

  • "wtf? STOP TURNING THE LIGHTS ON BITCH IM TRYIN TO SLEEP!
