Tim studied mechanical engineering, albeit quite a few years ago, and he retains a keen interest in all things mechanical.
First up, 'The Great Bead Machine' - a mechanical toy that threads beads onto a string. How neat is that?
A plastic ball point pen, completely rigid, bends through 180 degrees when inserted into a black box. How does that work?
A version of the Geneva Mechanism made from wood. A pencil attached to it traces out an ellipse. Ingenious!
A plastic saxophone? This gadget is more intriguing than that. When you blow into the mouthpiece, the air does not go down the main body of the saxophone, instead it comes out of a nozzle near the top, and blows downwards, towards the little spinner, on top of the bell of the saxophone. So when you place one of the little spinners at the bottom, and then blow through the mouthpiece, the spinner is experiencing a downdraft of air. This does make it spin, but the downward forces of the air are greater than the upward force of the spinning propeller. However the instant you stop blowing, the spinner rises up into the air. It is a slightly subtle toy this one, but quite intriguing.
A version of the Maxwell Spinning Top. As it spins, the spindle tracks the spiral at the top. It seems as if magnets might be involved, but no, there are no magnets.
PS We have a different version of Maxwell's Top in the Grand Illusions Toy Shop - see www.grand-illusions.com/maxwe... - Věda a technologie
I hope Tim knows how much happiness and enjoyment he has brought to people.
The entire reason goofy old brits exist is to make people happy, so I’m sure he knows.
he knows, thats why he does it.
I used to watch this guy when I was small…brings so much nostalgia 😭
Tim- I just moved into my first home today and it's been emotionally exhausting. Such a big change had me really broken up, but watching your videos has managed to help me feel comfortable and calm again. Thank you so much for sharing your neat collection with all of us.
My sister had a Bead Machine just like that one when we were kids! I remember how LOUD that thing was!
He is the real Santa Claus
tim is the closest person to santa
will forever love these videos ❤️
Interesting collection of mechanical toys and devices. But, Tim, with you Geneva mechanism, you needed to have used a ballpoint pen, or pressed down a bit harder on the paper so we could see what was being drawn. Entertaining video nonetheless.
Great episode, as always! It's nice to see that sir Timothy is still posting videos with his fantastic collection of toys, even after all these years
Excellent as ever. I wonder if anyone playing with the necklace option ever had the patience to choose what order the beads arrived at the string. Nice to Tim! ⭐👍
well, you could simply start the threading yourself instead of letting the machine do it at-random
@@alexanderdickens2517 No no no! That's no fun at all. One hesitates to appear grouchy, but isn't Mr Dickens being a bit of a spoilsport? 🤣
Thank you again Tim! We love your videos and hope you’re having a good day :)
This series will never get old!
Thanks for making us smile 😊
YO TIM THATS SICK AF I LOVE MECHANISMS
I have only just discovered this channel and...I love it
Thank you Tim!
The "Geneva mechanism" was what my grandfather would call a "bs cutter" or a "calibrated time waster." Miss that old man. Seeing it again made me smile.
It's also known as a trammel of Archimedes. I'm not sure it actually is a Geneva mechanism; it's like two interlocked, which would be over constrained, but then the distance between the axis of rotation is unfixed. Terminology varies a lot. 😊
@@0LoneTech the first time machine was the time revolution and detention in space
I love mechanisms so much
Thank you Tim! You are a true treasure on YT
👍
Why do i love all this!!
I didn't know that good ol' Tim was a mechanical engineer. Great to know
How absolutely charming!
If only they could figure out a way to get the bead stringer to make more noise.
I love the pen in the box :)
Evening Tim.
I'm a 44 year old man and I WANT that bead machine!!!

You are a treasure, thank you
Marvelous
loved the intro!
Go TIMOTHY Go!!!!!!!!!
tim's video on friday, a blessin

There was a delay when extracting the pen in the other end of the pen meaning it's not the same pen coming out that is going in. my guess is there is a button or a trigger mechanism in the hole where when you put the pen in on one end, it makes a similar looking pen tip come out of the other side.
Tim is tops 💎
I need that bending pen!
I hope we have mechanisms pt2
How does the string in the necklace machine attach?
3:15 my office mate had this in our office and he didn't know about how it draws an ellipse; it said "Do nothing" on it haha
brilliant devices
3:08 Trammel of archimedes
Does the top and saxophone have a particular name trying to find one online
i would encourage any new parents to invest in toys like these coz the mechanisms and physical motions encourage curiosity, creativity and ingenuity that you dont get with tablets and screens :)
Where to I get one of those fascinating invisible ink pencils Tim shows with the little wooden toy?
invisible ink pencil store
@@Cheesy_33 Is that a regular store that sells invisible ink pencils, or an invisible store that sells ink pencils. Because I don't think I have the second kind around me. At least I've never seen one.

The title reminds me of Marvin's marvelous mechanical museum
I am your fan ❤️❤️
Grandy Nice ❤️🧡
i thought the title said marvin’s marvellous mechanical museum 💀
Please ..show your hunted collection please... i know you have some in that big big collection.
Is it as loud in real life as it sounds here? Because I know my kids and if they had this they'd be like, "I'm going to make a jumprope" followed by 7 straight hours of BRRRRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRRRRRR
IT’S WHISPER QUIET!
I think i know how the second machine works; it works with a lever, when the pen is pushed in the box, the lever transfers the direction of the force and the other end pushes another pen out.

I'm always sad to see the other side of the table bare.
I miss watching you.
If anyone knows what the 4th and 5th items he showed are actually called let me know trying to find online
My grandma had one of those Kentucky Do-Nothings, but it was engraved “Bullshit Grinder” on the bottom. Quite silly.
The table has wheels????? This is insane
might need earbuds protection for the necklace maker
I been watching this guy since i was a kid he a awsome dude and I hate to say it but one day he'll stop uploading and that will be sad 😢
Okay. But how do pen bend?
I call first dibs on his estate sale.
it's been 12 hours and the thumbnail still not processed.
I know. Never had this before. Messaged the people at CZcams and they said it can take up to 48 hours. Hmm. As I say, never had this problem before.
Where can one obtain the Scala bending pen ?
0:07 heckled fish why files
It might have been my screen but i didnt see the pencil shape at all
helllo!

an invisible ellipse. but an ellipse nonetheless.
I can’t see the eclipse

Oh this guy was my preteen obsession ahaha. Now kids are all about fortnite they don’t watch these fun videos. Rather watch cocomelon or owl house idk
We need linger videos Tim please
Pov:you accidentally clicked on this
Taylor Swift fans love this one xD

The elipse was more like a total eclipse lol.
