Re: Check this video out
To explain the video, it is a cg animation of a machine that plays music using ball bearings. It's quite ingenious. Any idea of the source Drizzid?

Re: Check this video out
The following is the only info I could get reguarding the video. It's a bit late now and I don't have the energy to redearch it any further.
Subject: Music maker
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.

It's CGI - that info is bogus. (still amazing though!)

Re: Check this video out
I don't understand how anyone could believe that's real. I'd like to think that it's maybe just because I've worked in 3D that I recognise it as CGI, but it's bloomin' obvious!

Re: Check this video out
A bit of trivia, it's also the cover of a programming book.

Re: Check this video out
I knew it was familiar looking. I saw it at Frys displaying a big TV that they keep behind the nose piece of their space shuttle
Even if you can't tell by looking at the shading and texture, look at the physics no way would that work. Rube Goldberg was a genius but he spent over a million trys to get his machine to work :/
