Brazilian Ingenuity...Continued

Cícero, the technical director for our Cidade Feliz productions, has posted some more videos of his inventions on YouTube. I thought I would re-post them, just to give you an impression of the gifted people that God has put in our path.

Machine for Closing Plastic Bags

Cícero and Nice use this all the time. It is a lot more effective than zip-loc (tm).

Machine for Making Foam Circles

The problem of uniform pieces for the puppets was solved by this little machine. It uses, among other things, an old scanner.

Eyeball Cutter

Not human eyeballs, puppet eyeballs. I just saw this yesterday. It is truly a home made wonder. The wheel-track for a dresser drawer, a bottle cap, and the principles of the guillotine form the basis for this invention, which cuts the eyeballs of the puppets to exactly the right size.
