You may recall an incredible 3D animated video from years ago from Animusic called “Pipe Dream” which featured a musical ensamble of robotics.  Intel decided to recreate the performance for real in just 90 days. Unlike majority of our projects, this one doesn’t come with instructions so we’re posting it as inspiration for your future projects:

Overall, the system uses 36 ball hoppers, 2300 balls, and creates 120 unique notes.  The display was created to show off Intel’s hardware (the used seven Intel processors and spent $160k), but we’d love to see a DIY version!  If you build one, let us know and we’ll pay you to post it on HacknMod!

• Create Techno with a Laser Harp
• Electric Organ Hacked into an 8-Bit Synthesizer

Next time you're wiping down your windows, opt for this natural, homemade recipe. Mix together 1 gallon of water, 1/4 cup vinegar, 2 tbs lemon juice, and 1 tbs liquid dish detergent. Keep the solution in a container so that you can refill when you need more. Grease doesn't stand a chance against the lemon juice and dish detergent in the solution, so simply spray the windows down and wipe them with a microfiber cloth, newspaper, or squeegee.
