Integral Smoking Machine - Cigarette Smoking Robot

Integral Smoking Machine will smoke perpetually; considering you have it turned on and always give it a cigarette. Suction possible by a billow system built from assorted parts operated by two K'nex motors. Final version shown in photos (has been a work in progress). Inhales profusely.

I saw this on KI. I thought it was pretty cool.

A wonderful idea! Get robots addicted to cigarettes now, before they become sentient. As the smoke is bound to be much harder on lubricated joints than it is on humans, this might help prevent the robots from taking over!!!

This is great. I feel like people should smoke less and robots should smoke more. Perhaps robots can give us our manufacturing jobs back and we can give them our vices in exchange...

Does it have a one way valve after the cig to prevent back pressure? I was thinking that a one way valve for an aquarium pump would be handy. Your machine is truly a work of art

I started working on it for a class, but that version was way under powered and didn't work, and also had a baby blue baby doll face and lips holding the cigarette. I continued working on it and now it works without fail, it can even smoke an american spirit which are dense cigarettes. I was quitting smoking during a lot of the time working on it, and I'm over a year now, but of no real help from the robot.

Interesting. Did you have any specific purpose for it such as cigarette research, or just as a whimsical gimmick? Either way, nice job, very creative, I wouldn't have thought of making of that.
