This site contains a two and one-half minute video clip highlighting a kinetic sculpture/machine that continuously ties and unties a necktie. Although it is artistically inspired and intended for entertainment, the machine, (name "Why Knot"), dramatically demonstrates how engineering principles and methods can be used to solve unusual problems not normally associated with technology.
