Maybe, but I think Rube Goldberg is the real inspiration.

I wonder if this is where they got the idea for the Honda perpetual motion movie which I musta watched a dozen times when it came out?

If you haven't ever seen Fischli and Weiss' 1987 film
"The Way Things Go" I highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of meeting
them once. It was in Dallas, They're Swiss, and they kept asking us if
we could take them to buy cowboy hats and boots. The film is available
(ulp) at amazon for about 13 bucks. One of the best actor free films
you'll ever see. Film as Sculpture, Sculpture as Film.

or here's a clip:
