A long time ago, before free-rotating gears made co-axial
hands easy, I made a clock with separate 'faces' for the different
hands; quite noisy, driven by the 4.5V black-block motor...
Has anybody made any other "real-world appliance" models?
I've made a few different versions of a record player,
with a grammophone funnel made from an A3 sheet of paper and
a metal pin for a stylus. The old 8860 tire, with grey pegs
in all 6 holes, holds a large-center-hole 7" record
quite well. (I used a junk record, obviously)
Inspired by then-new CD players, I tried to make a front-loading
record player, but never finished it.
I have yet to try my idea of a floppy-disk-format circular
punch card reader; making this with black dots on white paper
rather than holes, one should be able to make this device
both read and write - how about that for PC-autonomous
Mindstorms programming? :)
