Tinkering with monks: chain reaction video
The final project of the workshop, on video. We set the whole contraption up and ran it twice. This video is a combination of both runs, as it was difficult to get all the shots in one run. It was hard to fight my way through the monks crowding their contraptions and cheering them on!
Some highlights include: water being used to complete a circuit; a soccer match between the US and Tibet, an elephant-powered ball-kicking mechanism; hand-made gears; a monk slapping a Chinese [cringe!]; a solar system; a monk being run over by a rickshaw; suicidal penguin switch; the Tibet express bringing Tibetans back to a free country; a rubber-band twang switch; 30 joyful and beautiful monks!
