Rube Goldberg machine to be demoed
tomorrow in NYC 01/09/2004 09:56 PM
A filmmaker has built animated an actual Rube Goldberg machine -- a self-operating napkin -- and written an original score to accompany it and will perform both tomorrow night in NYC.

"It's basically attached to the pendulum of a clock," Mr. Biskin said, "so the napkin swings back and forth." He used Goldberg's original drawings to make his film, titled "Goldberg's Variations." At first he intended only to write music for the artwork, but he decided the images needed to move. "It was kind of fun to get into the physics of it," Mr. Biskin said, noting that he sometimes had to reposition figures like a drunk bird or a cat that had had too much caffeine. He has also featured Goldberg's convoluted texts onscreen.

Arthur Paul Pedrick was a UK patent examiner who retired and filed many patents for whacky, impractical inventions.

A horse-powered car, putting the cart before the horse. To control the speed, the car's accelerator pedal varies the thrust which the horse must exert to reach its feedbox 2. The brake pedal is linked to the horse's halter. The ignition switch can give the horse's posterior a mild electric shock to stimulate it into movement.

Cory Doctorow: Robert sez, "Inspired by cartoonist Rube Goldberg, college students nationwide compete to design a machine that uses the most complex process to complete a simple task - put a stamp on an envelope, screw in a light bulb, make a cup of coffee - in 20 or more steps.

"This year the contest involved changing the two batteries in a torch. The winning team did it in 125 steps." Link, 3.4MB Quicktime Link (Thanks, Robert!)

Inspiration: Steam-Powered Supercar 12/28/2004 11:13 AM

Hepped up, hot rodding sister site Jalopnik reports that steam is hot—especially inside of cars, where a British Steam Car Challenge team plans to put the gaseous gas vapor. The 'Inspiration' is a 300 horsepower steam-fired car that might just hit 200mph with an turbine that will hit almost 12,000 rpm. The English engineers are perhaps best known for their work on the 'Chamomilean,' a color-changing tea pot that reached almost 10,000 tps (toots per second) in the 2nd Annual Grey Earl Poppycockery Exhibition and Kennel Run.

Bush Calls Pope 'An Inspiration to Us
All' (AP) 04/02/2005 11:02 AM
AP - President Bush on Saturday said Pope John Paul II has been "a faithful servant of God and a champion of human dignity and freedom." "He is an inspiration to us all," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "Laura and I join millions of Americans and so many around the world who are praying for the Holy Father."

the declaration of independence, the
constitution, and now this: yet another
inspiration from philadelphia 09/03/2004 09:26 PM
Philadelphia is considering adding WiFi boxes to all street lights, making the whole city WiFi alive. What I like best about this idea is how the link to street lights suggests how we should think about this resource: (1) Is it free? No, just as street lighting costs money, it will cost money to put Wifi boxes on street lighting. (2) Is it free. Yes, like lighted streets, and air conditioned city hall, you won't have to pay to enjoy the resource. (3) So it is free and not free: yes, as all great public resources are. And as with all great public resources, this will benefit Philadelphia in ways we cannot begin to imagine. Let the city provide a platform, and watch the entrepreneurs find a million ways to make it valuable. Did anyone have any clue about all the ways the GPS would be used once Ronald Reagan set it free?
