The Self-Cranking Machine

This project was inspired by YouTube videos of so-called "useless machines" (like this one). Many of them were based on the concept of a machine whose only function is to turn itself off. I found myself gravitating toward a slightly different idea: a machine that only exists to crank itself. There was something about the thought that I found entertaining, so I just had to make it.

All aspects done by me.
