The fact that this machine can write neatly is very surprising but its eyes follow along while he writes and every now and then he lifts his pen and shakes it so none of the ink drips onto the paper. I would die to see this machine in person, truly beautiful and very human-like.
he doesn't shakes the pen to avoid ink dripping onto the paper. he actually dips the pen into the inkwell so that the pen doesn't run out of ink and dry out.
Amazing, an 18th century programmable wonder built before the modern computer was even imagined. The precision and precise miniature construction proves that any talent can be honed to something very special.
Tran Nguyen couldn't agree more. Side note- Greeks had a number calculating machine that qualifies as a computer about two thousand years earlier- damn the crusades and dark ages! Scientists discovered the machine still out at sea despite religious defilings of intellectualism around the world before enlightenment. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism Fascinating stuff!
Adamlee Borchardt I read about that somewhere before ... so thanks for pointing out this article. We lost a good 1500 years of technological development because of religious ideology. Think where we could be today had we not lost those years.

Wow. The ingenuity of this creation cannot be described in words. How beautiful is it, to be able to create something like this, that can outlive its creator by hundreds of years.
And I'm damn sure it didn't attract any attention by present day's nonsense Facebook generation which only cares about making crooked faces and uploading photos on Facebook which is the reason why we no longer have such stuff being created today.
even tho i find vintage dolls strangely creepy, this is honestly beutiful. cant believe someone made this so long ago, even the eyes move fluently. glad it still works.
I can't believe I just discovered that a thing like this exist and a master watchmaker like that to even craft something this pure mechanical robot in 1700s. Mind blown indeed
This should be studied And remastered, no more electronic stuff, we could totally save electricity with machines like these... Plus this 18th century boy handwrites way WAY Better than all of us together (unless you know caligraphy then im glad you do and im going to study it too)
@@NevolmonGaming we can definitely replicate what it does, but I think more importantly the craftsmanship and artisanship to build this is old world technology that we've unfortunately lost.
We could easily replicate it with modern technology. But if you asked every single human being alive today if any of them could make something like this by hand, I don’t think a single soul would be able to. Even the best watchmaker in the world isn’t equipped to produce wheels and housings from hand like that anymore. The concept of it has almost entirely died out, since we can just print out gears using a laser... I’m afraid that’s why old machines like this are so beautiful and unique looking. Because every single part was made with a human hand.
@@kutter_ttl6786 Heh, nice try, but i own a Huawei that i bought 6 years ago, still works, and no crack, BUT my gf insists buying these Iphones all the time and those break like glass if you fart on it.
Adding a feature to allow those programmable disks to be stacked for feeding through the mechanism for writing mailing labels would have been relatively easy. A pen with an ink reservoir wouldn't have been much harder.
