- [Narrator] If you've ever gotten lost in the hypnotic swirling
of a washing machine or the mesmerizing spectacle
of a master craftsman at work, you'll know how
satisfying these things can be. But some machines and inventors
work with such precision and mastery that it's almost
impossible to turn away. Get ready for a feast for your eyes as we explore some of the
most satisfying inventions you'll struggle to stop watching. (playful music) One of mankind's most satisfying triumphs, vacuum forming involves
heating plastic sheets to fit tightly around an object. Companies like Formech vacuum
form a variety of products from fashion items to steering wheels. Whatever the product, the manufacturer process is
certainly something to behold. (mellow music) As an example of what can now
be achieved with 3D printing, it doesn't get much better
than an entire house. Icon built a proof-of-concept house in just 24 hours using the technology. Which adapts the basic 3D printer recipe, replacing plastic with concrete. Best of all, these 3D printed
homes only cost around $4,000. The firm aims to use their incredible tech to help solve housing problems, both in the USA and internationally. Satisfying and considerate.
What more could you want? (mellow music) Here's a toilet aquarium. Despite appearances, the
Fish and Flush Aquarium toilet tank doesn't harm
the sea life inside. An aquarium is wrapped around a clear inner tank
where flushing occurs. It looks great in the dark,
thanks to its LED lighting, but best to leave the
lights on when you use it. Either way, after witnessing
you use this thing your gold fish will feel lucky
to have such short memories. Take a look at this ocean
trashcan called the "Seabin". It catches and filters trash, including microplastics, from the ocean. Using simple filters and an automatic sucking function, these little guys are cleaning up the seas one plastic bag at a time. (mellow music) This Robotic arm from Franka
Emika is easy to program and incredibly precise, making
it an extremely useful tool for smaller manufacturing businesses. Or for the lazy man
looking to invest in a very sleek $11,000 shoe tire. Sick of cycling on solid ground? You need the shuttle bike. This innovative idea uses
simple sturdy inflatables and a rudder and can be attached to any bank with under 10 minutes of prep. (mellow music) NASA's experimental hollow nickel titanium alloy tires form themselves around obstacles before reverting
to their original shape. Perfect for comfortable
planetary exploration, no need for inflation. (mellow music) These industrial sized
hand mowers may look like medieval torture devices, but they're actually very innovative. Brielmaier designed them for easy use or difficult
landscapes, even steep hills and all models can be operated by a single person. (mellow music) The Elios Drone developed by
Flyability is designed to carry out industrial inspections
while keeping staff safe. The drone's frame protects it while also preventing its
blades from giving workers unwanted haircuts and amputations. (mellow music) This machine comes alive at the touch of a button and folds
t-shirts to perfection. Another much hated job, thankfully taken by a robot or a threat to
retail workers everywhere? Tell me your thoughts
in the comments below. (mellow music) This computer controlled
milling machine carves intricate flawless designs from metal. Its manufacturing
capabilities are immense, but most importantly, watching it work is incredibly satisfying. I'm telling you, the real
Eiffel tower would be so much better if it was
accompanied by a video like this. (mellow music) This piece of equipment
is essentially a plow for the farmer with an eye for aesthetics. It packs earth into
long, wall-like strips, ready to be seeded later. Best of all, when they're finished, they look like giant Kit Kats. Probably don't taste as good though. (mellow music) Here's one for the mad
scientist in us all. Using little more than
baking soda, water, nails and an electric current
Lichtenberg devices etch incredible fractal patterns into wood. It's truly mesmerizing to
watch the current attempt to find the path of least resistance but the process can be
extremely dangerous. So don't try this one at home. (mellow music) The satisfaction of watching
machines that create is only paralleled by the incredible power
of machines that destroy. Like this machine that can eat through a thick tree like butter. (mellow music) Or this almighty devour
of bushes and shrubbery. (mellow music) And for sheer power, nothing compares to these
amazing car crushers. Do not stick any of your
appendages in there. (mellow music) Ever wondered how snug
fitting packaging gets made? Me neither, but I'm
certainly glad I found out. This foam cutting machine gently glides through foam
snapping the finished pieces out like magic. (mellow music) This woodworking robot
uses various drill bits and blades to carry out
incredibly intricate whittling. With ultimate efficiency, each piece is carved out layer by layer, with gradually increasing definition. When it's finally done, the
machine's work's good enough for an art gallery. Although the process
is arguably even better than the final product. (mellow music) It might look like a bunch of polite commuters weaving
past each other saying, sorry, oops, excuse me, pardon me, but this is actually a
hose weaving machine. The complexity of so many
moving parts working flawlessly is totally hypnotic. Like a barn dance for robots. (mellow music) Amazingly, this mind-bending
decorative cube is fashioned from a single bike chain,
simply cut and rewelded. They can even be made at home. If you have welding tools
lying around that is. (mellow music) Silicone may not be
edible, but it's coloring process certainly delivers the eye candy. After dye is added, silicone is pressed and rolled repeatedly, getting shinier and
darker before being cut and rolled yet again. Sure it's repetitive, but when something's this good,
the more repeats the better. (mellow music) This machine paints mugs
using a method that will make ya nervous at first. But when you realize not a
single drop leaks inside, you appreciate the impressive
precision of the machine and can relax. (mellow music) This one is a little creepy. These rather brutal
seeming sewing machines insert the hair, which is
actually plastic thread through the dolls' heads in neat rows. You probably never
wondered how it was done, but now, you know, this is the kind of knowledge you regret learning
when you're laying awake at three in the morning. Sure, it may have the
processing power of a potato, but this laptop from
1995 redeems itself with a nifty keyboard closing mechanism. Frankly, it's a miracle those moving parts haven't snapped by now. My laptop seemed to break from as little as pressing the space
bar too enthusiastically. (mellow music) This machine pushes fresh
bread dough through a faceplate and in the tubes, which
through a seriously clever mechanical dance
simultaneously plait the dough. I absolutely loave it. (mellow music) This tractor pulled a piece
of terrifying equipment known as the Verti-Drain is
designed to drain turf pitches and golf courses by
poking small, even holes into the ground. It looks more like
something a Bond villain would send towards 007 and
with those sharp pokers, I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility. (mellow music) This machine paints the dots on dice in an unexpectedly clever way. While it's route seems random, it actually uses AI to plan the most efficiently optimized path and even identifies as
how many dimples are on each die's side before it paints. This machine's really on a roll. (mellow music) This nifty Nano casual pay sticker pad is reusable, environmentally friendly, and doesn't deform when subjected to heat. It's strong too. And can hold small ornaments, tablets, or a phone when placed on a huge range of services for an
indefinite amount of time. Although you may need to rethink if you're planning to use
it to become Spider-Man, unless, you know, your
weigh as much as an iPad. (mellow music) A camera for blind people
sounds impossible, right? Amazingly, it isn't. Helping people with serious sight issues capture and save memories. Blindtouch uses a camera alongside an adaptive textured platform and ingenious software to create
3D images that can be felt. Truly a visionary product. (mellow music) These incredible tables are crafted by using epoxy resin to
fill cracks in the wood. These ones even have LEDs
and motion sensors built in making them the perfect
way to tell a loved one they really light up a room. (mellow music) Resin can be used to make all sorts of other wondrous objects
from furniture and home ware to jewelry and sculptures. Resin can be cast around objects, mixed with dye and most
impressively turned to make incredible cylindrical scenes. (mellow music) The wide path camper is a
tiny collapsible mobile home small enough to be towed by a bike. It comes with a two person
dining table and a bed, all of which folds in half and can be unfolded in mere minutes. Usually the last thing
you want your home to be is collapsible, but the wide path camper
changes things up. So which of these
interventions could you watch on loop all day? Let me know in the comments section below
and thanks for watching. (playful music)
