Here's a unique way to find your next date.

Engineer James Befurt was tired of wasting time on Tinder, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Using a computer programme, along with a clever motor setup and a stylus, he developed a way to get through as many of his potential soulmates as quickly as possible.

Swipe right on this invention! New innovative way to use tinder

Engineer James Befurt has developed a unique way to find his next potential date

Befurt has developed a contraption and computer programme that will automatically swipe right on Tinder

Apple recently revealed that Tinder was one of the most downloaded apps of the year.

And - until now - it required users' undivided attention while perusing profiles.

But Mr Befurt's hilarious contraption allows Tinder fans to swipe right forever - or at least until they run out of potential matches near them.

This isn't the first time that a savvy user has attempted to hack the app.

Back in September, Business Insider reported on a man who had built a Google Chrome extension to transform Tinder into a desktop interface so that he could more easily swipe through potential matches. 

Tinder, estimated to be worth around £1billion, was founded in September 2012 and recruits up to 20,000 new users every single day.

Watch as his device swipes right for all of eternity - or until he runs out of matches in his selected area
