National Geographic wanted to show off their new lineup of shows on their channel, and what better way to do it than by building an intricate Rube Goldberg machine? Tim Shaw, the host of the channel’s "Street Genius," set everything in motion to create a chain reaction of 71 moving pieces and 38 triggers. Tires, a bicycle and even a Volkswagen Beetle are some of the components of the fun-to-watch contraption, which ends in a great finale of fireworks. Be ready to press play again to see just how the miraculous 4-ton scientific apparatus gains momentum!
