MAY E Machine is going offshore! After being let out from the workshop, we are sailing from Fiji to New zealand.

Ever wondered what happens when high-powered IPA, questionable engineering decisions, and a passion for quirky kinetic art collide? In this video, I finally finish my steampunk-inspired kinetic sculpture — officially named the OOmpy WOOmpy Machine — and yes, things move, spin, wobble, and possibly threaten my sanity. From unexpected fixes to last-minute creative chaos, this project is equal parts art, science, and mild madness. If you enjoy weird inventions, moving sculptures, and the occasional “that shouldn’t work but somehow does,” you’re in the right place. Stick around — it gets fun (and slightly chaotic). 👍 Like, subscribe, or send beer and spare gears. I’ll need both.

In this episode ill explain how I used scissors, coloured pens and a glue stick to create the power train wiring schematic for my electric car conversion.
