Watch as a GoPro goes for a ride in a pneumatic tube system

[Shawn Knight]

GoPro cameras are often credited with capturing wicked action videos; after all, that’s what they’re designed to do. But these pint-sized cameras can – and have – been used to film ordinary tasks and events from a completely different perspective.

Take, for instance, the pneumatic tube. They’ve been around for close to 200 years and are often used in hospitals, factories and even at your local bank to quickly transport items from one location to another. But have you ever stopped to imagine what the journey is like for the capsule?

The clip above answers that question. Granted, I have no idea what they’re saying but the GoPro footage is reason enough to watch.

Found is a TechSpot feature where we share clever, funny or otherwise interesting stuff from around the web.

For even more entertainment turn on the subtitles.

It sounded a lot cooler than it actually was =/

Not exactly the most entertaining thing I've ever seen.

"also finished warnings from his **** saw" was my favourite. Good call.

 

[Axle Greese]

Is there one you can fit a human into?

Don't worry... next week's episode features a GoPro being flushed down a toilet!

After watching two things dawned on me: (I) watching paint dry is more exciting; and (ii) they probably could have carried the tube to its destination in less time than that trip took.

When I was a kid I always wondered what it'd look like in one of those things, from the perspective of my G.I. Joe. now I know ;-)

Next time GoPro will show what our downloads go through to get to us.

The future of space travel right here.

Unless it finds its way into a someone's toilet and blows an arse to pieces, I don't know why am I watching it... where's the fun...? It's like a piece of turd on its way out, some things are best left unimagined.

The title sounded a lot more interesting than the video actually was. However the sub titles were amusing: "Ministering from releasing, also finished warnings from his **** saw."

How about somebody swallowing one then we can see how it makes it's way down the esophageal tract, to the stomach, through the intestines, out the rectum then watch it get flushed down the toilet. (y)

Reminded me of the wormhole scene in Contact.

^Have you not seen Doctor Who?

 

[Guest]

^ I have. But it was the traveling, stopping, traveling, stopping which reminded me of Contact.
