That is pretty cool. I've watched it a couple of times, it looks like it is actually all one shot...

Damn. That's prolly the most involved and longest lasting Goldberg I've ever seen, but this one is easily the most thought out and elegant one.

Honda paid an engineering firm in London to do this for them with the rule being it had to be entirely made out of the Accord wagon parts. There is a ton on the web about it. It's called The Cog.

Yep. You just gotta be smarter than a wheel and know how to operate gravity. Weight the wheel at about the 2 oclock position and it will roll uphill for between a 1/4 and 1/2 turn. Steeper hill, more weight, less distance.

And I dropped out of engineering school long before I got to that bit....
