This is pretty neat. This guy collects examples of DIY shit that Cubans made due to the collapsed economy. More out of the lack of industry rather than lack of personal funds.
TV antennas made from metal cafeteria style trays were commonplace during this time. Another neat example is using grapefruit rinds as a substitute for beef steak. He said they remove the acidity then fry it in garlic, onions ect. so it tastes and feels similar to meat.

Saw this on YouTube yesterday and it was pretty interesting. I liked the hearing aid recharger and the coconut thing made from a washing machine motor.
Forgot the link, sorry folks.

I want those books.
Could've done without the fluffy art school talk though.
One thing I can say myself, being Cuban, those fuckers are nifty, they make bicitaxis from car parts, put speakers powered by a car battery charged by a dynamo, it's fucking crazy.
