You’ve probably seen a Rube Goldberg machine<\/a> in a science museum sometime, and watched with amusement while balls rolled down tracks or balloons inflated, triggering other mechanical events in a complicated chain reaction. But we guarantee you’ve never seen a Rube Goldberg machine quite like this.<\/p>

When the rock band OK Go, justly famous for its treadmill dancing video<\/a>, decided to make a new music video for its song “This Too Shall Pass,” the rockers tapped the artsy engineers at <\/span>Syyn Labs<\/a> to do something really special. The result was this 4-minute Rube Goldberg machine that plays part of the song, synchronizes with the beat, and involves the band members getting very messy. It runs the length of a two-story warehouse, and the action was filmed in a single shot. With no further ado, we give you: The mother of all Rube Goldberg machines.<\/p>
