What Would You Call This?

[rake60]

I've always believed if you can dream it we can build it.

So tonight my youngest son, (only 21 years of age :? ) lays down the
gauntlet, with the words “Here Dad, build this”

It's someone else’s dream. Not an engine, but it does appear to be
driven by air pressure...

I'll have nightmares about trying to figure it out, but it is some
amazing animation work if nothing else.
Stand BACK Rube Goldberg... :lol:

I'm a big YouTube fan.
My videos there are at: Rick's YouTube

Where are yours?

I would call it a kinetic sculpture if it were made for real. kinetic sculpture

I have been wanting to build a kinetic sculpture that a wind anemometer that spins a hammer on a string that strikes tubes like a wind chime but tune the tubes so it plays a tune. I have a set of tubes thats like whats used in an xylophone.

I just have 3 youtube videos. nothing very cool.

I have always wanted to build a rolling ball sculpture.
