Hi all,

A friend send me this one. What I would call a real madmod.
Quote from his mail:
Read this first, then watch.  This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the  University of Iowa ....  Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft,  Iowa .  Yes, farm equipment.

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was well worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

The Machine You Won't Believe



Cheers

The company that came up with that is called Animusic. Here's a link to their website. I just love the music.  Animusic  :ddb:  :ddb:  :ddb:  :ddb:

The one you posted is called "Pipe Dream" They have samples on their site. Wait for the intro page to play the first song then click on the the "preview Animusci 1". Scroll down and you'll come to the song "Pipe Dream"
