The Rube-Goldberg-Powered-Computer-Boot-Up-Inator: Product Information

The Rube-Goldberg-Powered-Computer-Boot-Up-Inator, or RGPCBUI for short, makes turning your computer on easy. If your computer takes an hour (or 1 1/2 hours, as the case may be) to boot up, then you can start that long process from the comfort of another room. You won't have to make the long trek to the computer room until it has booted up!

It makes use of simple machines and your home's power system to boot up a computer. The two wedges of a pair of scissors converge on a rope, cutting the rope. Because the rope was suspending a five kilogram weight, and the rope is now cut, the weight falls onto a lever, propelling a spherical object (more commonly known as a ball) into the air, closing a circut (or turning on the light switch). This causes a disco ball to come on, and the light from the disco ball is used by a photovoltaic panel to create enough electricity to run a motor. The motor lowers a drawbridge-like section of the ramp, allowing another spherical object to pass by and fall to close yet another circut. This circut powers an electric drill, allowing it to screw in a screw. That screw, once all of the way in, cuts a wire. Opening this circut by cutting this wire allows two electromagnets to fall. The electromagnets were being powered by the battery, connected by the wires. The spherical object that was sitting on top of the electromagnets falls. The spherical object bounces down the stairs, into the chute, and against the power button. Due to all of the kinetic energy the ball has gained during its fall, there is enough energy transferred to the power button to cause the computer to come on.

In simpler terms, it works.
In even simpler terms, you can click here to see an animation. it is in an infinite loop, so you can see it go, then reset, then go, then reset, etc. There is also sound!
