Propeller Clock

at 5:21 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Electronic Hacks

There is something about spinning displays that is mesmerizing. Not a big fan of the music, but the audio effects are well done!

“Mechanical scanned display rotating in a 160mm diameter plastic ball. This is the monichrom version with realtime data transferring over a rotating transformer.”

    Did you mean Mesmerising instead of memorising, by any chance? (spell checker strikes again :))

  2. Alan Parekh Says:

    LOL, thanks nice catch. That is almost what I meant…

  3. Neil Says:

    Im not sure what is worse…the music or the rotating display. I felt sick after watching that. Something about those kind of displays don’t sit will with me for some reason.

  4. Alexander Says:

    that was disgusting. Although I too am mesmerized by spinning displays [the novelty of bright light glowing on unseen medium is hypnotic], that music was awful. I wonder how much a large one would cost.

    Somebody should make something like that, that you plug into your computer and upload what ever images and sounds, and even be able to create programs to run on it.
