This guy is mechanically inclined, and I am definitely not. (He's
also a genius, and I am definitely not.)

But it amused me how alike our thought processes were; he spots
something in his environment, gets inspired, and tries to come up with
a formula to replicate it. Ruby On Acid was created in the same way.

The video even has a mechanical version of a CombinationFactory with
two SineFactories. Gotta love how useful the sine wave is.
