also another vid of him: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAsICMPwGPY[/url]
I'm more interested in the little rc robot lifter he made
I wish this guy was my professor
That's probably one of the coolest things I've seen.

Well half the video was about it.
I love this guy.
A little bit too goofy for me. Also expected to see it filled. Although I guess its simple enough with a bit of flexible tube.

As a californian, this hurts to watch
Didn't this guy do a TED presentation? He seems pretty familiar.

Eyup. Pretty amazing and energetic talk too.

He has a scale warehouse. That's so cool.
How many of those boxes do you think are filled with bongs. [I]Klein bongs.[/I]

It's a shame they do not have ted lectures there in Monterey, anymore.
This guy has had so many experiences in life, and I feel he's the kind of optimistic/kind person that's just contagious to everyone.

Hate to be Buzzkill Mcgee but the answer to that question is sadly zero.
From the official ACME Klein Bottles (his company) [URL="http://www.kleinbottle.com/acme_faq.htm"]FAQ[/URL]:

[B]Would you make one of these for smoking?[/B]
Nope. I make Klein Bottles, not bongs, not hookahs. A Klein Bottle is homeomorphic to a sphere with 2 crosscaps.
A waterpipe (or bong) needs an input and an output, so it's likely to be homeomorphic to a cylinder, and therefore not a Klein Bottle.
It's possible to make something resembling a Klein Bottle into a waterpipe, but I'm not interested in doing so.
There's too many other nifty topological shapes to create!

just ordered one
this guy is literally real life doc brown
except with glass bottles instead of time travel but yknow, small difference
He's more like a sober Rick from Rick&Morty in my eyes
That little robot reminded me of real-life gmod.

bad drought
Guess I've not been keeping up to date with Californian news recently.

Is this a good time to just film a faucet running at full power for like 12 hours? :v:
So an accurate Klein bottle wouldn't actually have a gap in the intersection?
Okay, [I]now[/I] it seems more like a freaky spooky shape that doesn't make sense in our 3-dimensional universe. But still, keeping a hole in there does mean that it's a pretty fun way to tell your friends that some water inside it is actually outside it :v:

not only just a gap, but there wouldn't be pressure placed back on an intruding object, like water.
