The Nat Geo Contraption

To celebrate our upcoming lineup of smart and entertaining shows, we found inspiration in American cartoonist Rube Goldberg's famous chain reactions. So we decided to create our own National Geographic version, combining 9 globes, 3 tyres, 1 Volkswagen Beetle, bowling pins, and a variety of everyday objects into a 4-ton scientific contraption with 38 triggers and 71 moving pieces! Watch what happens after Street Genius" host Tim Shaw sets everything in motion. "
