I know a 4 year old who is obsessed with the building of Rube Goldberg devices. He's been that way since he was roughly 18 months and started watching videos of them. Everyday he builds several. Some very simple domino effect style but most are actually quite complicated. Anyway.
Pulled from the web: "A Rube Goldberg machine, contraption, invention, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction."
I grew up watching a certain chain reaction video at the museum. I always watched it even though it is actually about 35 minutes. When I was older, I bought a copy of the video and would randomly put it on at home. Der Lauf Der Dinge was made in 1988 in a warehouse by two Swiss guys. If you've never seen it, check it out.

Since I One of my more recent favorites is this one from 2D House. I love it because of all the photography and camera elements.
