Although it a commercial for Honda I enjoy this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEF0cg1j35o
Can’t see the breakfast machine video. Was it the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang breakfast machine (http://www.traileraddict.com/clip/chitty-chitty-bang-bang/breakfast-machine) or the Wallace and Gromit breakfast machine? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk6zbY8i4_8)
Aye, sorry, was afraid that might happen. Are you trying to view it on an iPad or other iDevice? That one video is hosted on a Netherlands-based streaming site that does not seem to provide the new HTML-5 compatible video support that iPads require. And no, unfortunately, it isn’t either of the machines you’ve linked. Here’s a direct link to the video that might work for ya, though:

Speaking of breakfast machines, how about the BTTF breakfast machine, or Peter Griffin’s?

I helped build the OK Go RGM, we studied the RGMs from PythagoraSwitch http://vimeo.com/13420214 to gain inspiration. They are wonderful.
This is so cool! I like the Japanese Rude Goldburg machines. Such a long journey for just preparing a bowl of ramen. lol
Since Nearness uses a Transport for London Oyster card, I would contend that it is a Heath Robinson machine, not a Rube Goldberg one. (I would have said the same thing about Creme that Egg, but Kraft own Cadbury now).

I really like Fischli Weiss’s “Lauf der Dinge” or “The Way things go”. They two Swiss artists who make great Rube Goldberg machines.
