This machine, in a closed room is cutting away at two ropes. In front of it are two balloons, one filled with water one filled with petrol. In between them is a candle. above them are two pins stuck to an electromagnet that are triggered by switches below the two weights held by the two pieces of rope. The machine does not know which rope controls which so it clumsily cuts away at both. (continued on next photo)
