A lamp that knits its own shade
This crazy looking object is a lamp that's in the process of knitting its own shade. The contraption at the top is the lamp, and when it's activated at floor level it begins slowly spinning and knitting a shade for itself at a speed of about three rotations an hour.
What it creates is beautiful and unique, but you've got to wonder how useful this thing is once it's finished. But hey, as a piece of art or design I can't argue with just how downright cool it is. I'd say I want one if I didn't know that it's gotta cost way more than the novelty factor is worth.

That is a commercially available knitting machines. Thousands, if not millions, of them are used in factories producing knitted fabric, exactly as shown here. The only thing they have done is to put a light bulb in it and slow it down. Normally, they run knitting machines as fast as possible.

joshden, your assuming it's 'stupid' because you look at it and don't understand it, just proves your lack of intelligence.
