This is incredibly fun. I also love how the guy is dressed as an urban hipster in the desert and appears to use a pair of socks on his hands to pick up the (presumably) hot pieces to remove them from the device.

I'm sure those pieces will fetch a good price in a classy art gallery (which makes me wonder, "engineering gallery"? good concept?).
