A Rube Goldberg machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. Rube devised such pataphysical devices. The best examples of his machines have an anticipation factor: the fact that something so wacky is happening can only be topped by it happening in a suspenseful manner.

Rube Goldberg and his perpetual motion machine.
Rube Goldberg - Something for Nothing 1940
Incredible... The oil industry conspiracy was already running at full steam in 1940... 67 years ago... now it's a 5 trillions dollars a year business with very hungry and voracious holders. Humm.... :(
