Retro Geek Art

February 14th, 2011

Six minutes of awesomeness to brighten up your Monday. (Or, perhaps, just a little something for the easily entertained.)

Thanks. I like this comment on Youtube: “I suspect this will be the anthem for the new world when the robots take over.” Right there with you.

    Interesting. One could use stepper motors, solenoids, or relays for this. Solenoids and relays move/click when energized, stepper motors move a couple of degrees when energized. You’d need a microphone, an amplifier, run the output of the amplifier not to a speaker, but one of these simple devices, and you’ve got sound.

    The printer head shown in the video would be powered by a stepper motor.

    Don’t mind me. I’m going to be digging through my pile o spare parts for the rest of the day.
