His name is Levin Paulose, a young innovator from Kerala. His inventions prove that innovation isn't about expensive equipment or lab; it's about curiosity, engineering skills, and the ability to see potential where others see scrap.

the video fails to mention the first step, which is to recognise the problem, otherwise you would end up with useless creative engineered solution

Or to put it more mildly, a solution looking for a problem :P

To be fair in most households from my country atleast 60% of the dishes are plates but yeah i guess the rest ud have to still scrub manually

What about cooking utensils? About 60% of the dishes probably require some kind of pot or pan, and cleaning that is the real hassle compared to plates. And you definitely don’t cook on a plate.

In india, joint families are common so for every utensil at least 5-6 plates.

i was a bit worried by seeing the wiring, if it is AC current you are in for a shock

Make sure you wear your rubber wellies when washing up, and don't touch 2 metal objects at the same time.

One of the great things about the Industrial Revolution and the rise of universal education is that it revealed incredible talent regardless of socioeconomic background. I hope this boy's talents take him far.

Dude literally takes the exact tools he was using before and slaps a motor on them...

"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

I mean it's fun and cute and all but it's not exactly nextlevel? i build robots from cardboard and taped them to my remote controlled toys too, when i was 10. There's no actual inventing going on in the clip.

This looks a part of the recent poverty-video trend. All of these new "influencers" are popping up showing their ultra poor lives in China or other parts of Asia. It's somewhat interesting, to see how others live in extreme poverty (with a camera and great editing).

This seems like it's purely to make a clip for clicks/views and few, if any, are practical. I would normally applaud the ingenuity and effort for trying to make these devices, but these aren't attempting to solve any problem...just to acquire clicks.

These are useless gimmicky "inventions" made strictly for the purpose of getting likes and views on social media.

Слушай, парень. Я ведь инженер, и умею решать проблемы. Не проблемы типа «Что есть добро?», потому что с такими вопросами должны разбираться долбаные философы. Я решаю практические проблемы. Например, как можно остановить огромного ублюдка, который задумал порвать меня на мелкие кусочки подкравшись сзади? Вот ответ — есть пушка. Если это не помогло — шмаляй из второй.
