The Useless Can is a DIY kit with 52 parts that you assemble without soldering to create a fun mechanism. If you are looking for an original gift or an original present this is what you are looking for. The useless machine is now 62 years old! Yes, our Useless Can uses the same principle, but in a much more modern way. We have developed a circuit board that includes all the logic of the mechanism, so you don't need a soldering iron to assemble the parts. The first useless machine have been invented by MIT professor Marvin Minsky, while a graduate student at Bell Labs in 1952. Sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke, after seeing it in Minsky's office, wrote: "There is something unspeakably sinister about a machine that does nothing-absolutely nothing-except switch itself off." In order to make mechanism as compact, light and effective as possible, we designed custom electronic components. These parts make assembling the can a lot easier. Our custom made components take care of the soldering for the user. The switch is attached to a custom made circuit board allowing the user to connect the components quickly and easily. It also simplifies the layout of the cables and prevents errors during the assembly. There is no danger of damaging any components when connecting the cables. If the cables are connected at the wrong places, mechanism will not work and won't suffer from any damage. This makes it perfect for children since they cannot break it by accident.
