[partyboy03]

Dumb Ass

[TooLameToDie]

Um my wife's vagina can do that....just saying.

[ardous]

@TooLameToDie she should go see a doctor

[TooLameToDie]

@ardous She did...and now we have record deal!!!!!! She plays the harmonica with her vagina and I play the piano with my penis.

[CPM117]

"Why Play the Harmonica yourself ..when a Machine can do it"

[RobinPratt]

You are 80 years too late dued.

[JohnQPerson]

[StupidInventions]

@GiorgioPanadgi thanks for watching!

[StupidInventions]

@twistedmadlard hahha cool!

[EmoElmo65]

Pinky and The Brain, Pinky and The Brain.....*insert other words of theme song here*

[MrBrendan111]

I guess it's kind of a new way to write music.. you know if you have a self playing harmonica..

[StupidInventions]

@MrBrendan111 I should totally tour with it!

Just kidding... lol

[Porkmelon95]

That song always brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful. Thumbs for you.

[StupidInventions]

@Porkmelon95 thanks! its a classic!

[Phanfer]

Sounds like Pac-Man at the end

[StupidInventions]

@Phanfer hahha cool! I love pacman!

[TheNews1990]

I use to have that cannon printer

[StupidInventions]

@TheNews1990 did it move out to go join a jazz band?

[TheNews1990]

@StupidInventions no blues as in its broken

[StupidInventions]

@TheNews1990 awww, poor printer!

[ratchet132]

Genius, simply GENIUS

[StupidInventions]

@ratchet132 thanks man! this is one of my favs....

[Bjo15]

buy a vacuum cleaner from europe they are acualy MUCH better than the american ones

[StupidInventions]

@Bjo15 good to know! thanks for the tip!

[StupidInventions]

@youthinkmeretarded thats the Stupid Inventions motto! :D

[Lourenszvear]

thats the best thing ive ever seen. dude. like dude. no its crappy. but it sure is fun to look at

[StupidInventions]

@Lourenszvear haha thanks man!

[blipblopboom]

but... isent the noise of the vacume annoying?

[StupidInventions]

@blipblopboom yeah, I need a quieter vacuum...

[jetjdsimon]

perfect for mario paint and stuff!

[StupidInventions]

@jetjdsimon ha, awesome!

[stx777]

Wow Great Innovation

[StupidInventions]

@stx777 lol thanks!

[999danny333]

thats stupider than the real harmoneka

[StupidInventions]

@999danny333 thanks!

[ElizabethGS]

@999danny333 you can't even spell harmonica when it's right in front of you. sheesh. And there's nothing remotely 'stupid' about a real harmonica - nor the people who play it brilliantly. There's a whole lot stupid about your comment, however. :)

[dplass1968]

OMG that's so stupid. But cool.

[StupidInventions]

@dplass1968 Thanks! That's the general Idea with StupidInventions

[thadrd]

This is so stupid, how do you not give this a thumbs up?

[StupidInventions]

@thadrd exactly! Thanks for watching! :D

[Shootbag]

Ahhh!! Sounds like music to my ears!!

[StupidInventions]

@Shootbag lol, that you need a hearing test... jk!

Thanks :D

[zazazom]

it sounded alot like one of those really old printing machines

[StupidInventions]

@zazazom hahaha true~!

[werkis2]

:D well for blow reeds can use air compresor and i have a vision 10 tubes coming out from air comprresor , they all have valve locks with swiches and a simple schem, intresting idea, air compresor for blow, vacuum cleanere for draw reeds :)

[StupidInventions]

cool, I was thinking of maybe using a hair dryer with the heating coils removed, blowing into a funnel...

[dramatickittymovies]

LOL, like the idea!!!

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

[halomonsta]

No way!!! I got the same vaccum in my garage. Glad to see yours still works.

[StupidInventions]

lol does yours?

[halomonsta]

it did untill i was vacumming with it and it exploded and dust got everywhere... YAY dead spider in the carpet!!! yeah all fun and games until mom says that i did it so i clean it up.

Basically, no. No it does not...

[StupidInventions]

lol, sorry to hear that, I think this vacuum also doesnt work so well, we have a newer on that we use so I was allowed to experiment with this one..

[Waerondel]

I want one for my birthday.

[StupidInventions]

so why not try building your own?

[wearethechampion100]

haha just like thomas edison lol...

[StupidInventions]

hahaha, oh yeah, were twins!

[moniquenicole247]

You should use one of those computer vaccums that you use for your key board loland hook the vaccum to the printer as before mentioned

[StupidInventions]

good suggestion!

Im not sure if one of those vacuums is powerful enough though..

[moniquenicole247]

then make it more powerful! =) ;-)

-Moni_Bologna

[StupidInventions]

lol, unless it explodes!

[oasiac]

You have it backwards. The vacuum nozzle should be moving while the harmonica is stationary, and you should have a valve thats keeps a beat so that the vacuum sucks only when the printer stops on the note.

[StupidInventions]

good suggestion!

Thanks!

[iamthetoddman]

Actually that's wrong - when you play the harmonica you don't move your head - you move the harmonica. Unless you're doing it Dylan style of course...

[uirukun]

That...is...GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[StupidInventions]

ha! thank you :)

[herbienelly53]

that would be SOOO cool if the vacuum was silent.

[StupidInventions]

yeah i need to get a quieter vacuum...

[gtyyyfr5]

ummmm use a radio lol but still good i want one

[StupidInventions]

lol thanks!

[guzica666]

thats even more stupid xD looool

[StupidInventions]

lol thanks!

[Rarrin9378]

thats actually pretty cool!

[StupidInventions]

thanks! its one of my favorite inventions so far...

[TRACTORMAN4444]

thats cool

[StupidInventions]

thanks

[MikeLaBrash]

Did i Really just waste my time watching that.... And you just wasted like what a day making it ! I understand the Stuped Part in Stupid inventions NOW.!!!< WTF????

[StupidInventions]

really? this happens to be one of my favorite stupid inventions...

[StupidInventions]

lol thanks man!

[hbunnyo]

I think I know how you would go about making this play tunes. You need to find out where on a page corresponds to each note then set out little lines across the page that show where the notes are and represent each note with a block. for a note of x length put x blocks etc.. unless that's not how printers work.

[StupidInventions]

one of the main problems i noticed (at least with my printer) is that after a few lines of printing, the main cartridge thing (that the harmonica is attached to) goes back all the way to the right I think to receive the next commands...

either way Im busy with school now so im trying to focus on doing more Stupid Inventions... but I would love to revisit and fine tune this one when I have the time...

and thanks for the idea!

[AGameGem]

awesome much?

yes.

[StupidInventions]

lol, thanks! glad you enjoyed!

[hbunnyo]

:L. That is just genius.

[StupidInventions]

aww, thanks!

[brentjames24]

i gotta say that this is a pretty cool idea for a first design prototype

but you need to get a quiter vacuum

also you should try changine the images on the computer and see if you make songs, this will take a long time but would be cool if you could translate songs into bar code that the printer prints and plays on the instrument

this is cool

id say keep working on it

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

I definitely want to revisit this stupid invention and fine tool it some more...

[PhantomLover111]

Holy crap, are you ever creative!

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

[kambo57]

how did you make that intro( what program?)

[StupidInventions]

all editing and effects are made with Adobe After Effects.. you like the intro?

[kambo57]

yes i love the intro and I liked the vid it was funny, 5/5

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

[StupidInventions]

not really, although if i had the time, I would love to perfect the way it works and get it to play something that sounds more like a song...

[StupidInventions]

Thanks, glad you liked it, it took a while to make....

[xxNailFirexx]

i cldnt hear the first song

[StupidInventions]

yeah, thats why I tried to make a recording up close... im actually planning on buying a new camcorder with an external mike jack....

[StupidInventions]

lol, ok, I hear that...

[elliotgoodger]

that is soooo awesome :D

[StupidInventions]

thanks! this is one of my favs so far!

[peekoispet]

I like it how you always reply back to comments not like all those other famous youtubers who think nothing of the comments.

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

well in their defense, they get 1,000's of comments, when I usually get less than 100

[xTweve]

lol

[StupidInventions]

:)

[Nathyrocka]

Stupid is invetion guy is classic play wow massive coke

[StupidInventions]

um thanks?

[Sixten77poopie]

roflmao how do u come up with these ideas?

[StupidInventions]

idk, depends....

I guess I try to think of stupid things that bother me and try to come up with a way to fix them,,.. but this idea just came to me one day in class...

[Sixten77poopie]

you're fucking amazing dude, and funny too!

[StupidInventions]

thanks man!

more stupid inventions to come!

but please try not to curse in the comments, thanks! :)

[Sixten77poopie]

lol

[kitw30]

When it goes really fast it sounds a bit like a sounds from pacman.. :P

[StupidInventions]

ha! it does a little bit!

[xxSyphenxx]

DUDE THATS GENIUS!

[StupidInventions]

ha, thanks!

[nintari2600]

sorry man i should have said something else like that is so wierd sorry if efended you

[StupidInventions]

no problem....

believe me, people say a lot worse in the comments, lol

[007texan]

I'm pretty sure all your inventions could have made you a millionaire by now if The Sharper Image hadn't gone out of business! xD

[StupidInventions]

hahahahahaha, I actually got some Sharper Image gadgets for cheap after they went out of business that I sometimes use for parts in these inventions...

[Homestar1998]

KEWL

[StupidInventions]

thanks

[nintari2600]

What the hell?!?!?!

[StupidInventions]

um,  what?

[andrewcruzera]

Rofl use somthing that makes less noise like one of those mini fans

[StupidInventions]

yeah but those fans dont make a strong enough wind to play the harmonica.. believe me I tried...

[LyokoTravels]

lol

[StupidInventions]

:)

:)

[synysterizgreat2145]

good shit

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

but please refrain from cursing in the comments please...

:)

[justsomedude9593]

you have some talent, did you make that all by yourself or did you have an assistant

[StupidInventions]

Thanks.

I made this all by myself.

I came up with the idea of the harmonica attached to the printer in like April, but didnt come up with the vacuum idea until about a week before i made the video...

[foxfirebluelace]

lol!

[StupidInventions]

thanks for subscribing!

[foxfirebluelace]

lol no prob.

[goodman854]

dude imagine if some nut start dude made like music notes (print notes) for this that makes GOOD music. U made a talent device.

[StupidInventions]

thanks! i might come back to this device when i have more free time and actually attempt to make an actual song....

[gfxlab]

ok this looks like sex lol

[StupidInventions]

um..... what?

[RaMcHoOk101]

Wow man this is probably your best invention yet :D

[StupidInventions]

thanks, its my favorite so far, but hopefully ill top it one day,...

[StupidInventions]

thanks, im glad you like them!

more to come!

please subscribe!

[BoBoPatJiggler]

I've never really had the patience to play the harmonica. I feel like playing the 9th symphony with this thing now.

[StupidInventions]

lol, yeah me neither, I actually saw a "Learn To Play The Harmonica" set in a store yesterday, but I dont need it know that i have this... :)

[ElizabethGS]

@StupidInventions lol - actually - there are youtube videos which would give you a basic introduction to playing harmonica, and it probably cost you a lot more time and effort coming up with your 'self-playing' machine than it would have taken to learn the rudiments of playing the darn thing. (I play, btw). Just for fun, look up spah.org

:)

[StupidInventions]

@ElizabethGS True, but the idea here wasnt to learn how to play the harmonica, but to build a robot harmonica.... not that it makes sense or is practical in any way, just because its fun!

[ElizabethGS]

@StupidInventions I DO get it, but you said you have no musical talent, and I'm saying there are people who play by learning to read music who've also begun by not having any musical talent, lol. Not to take the fun out of this, it won't truly be a Robot harmonica until it blows & draws (notice I'm not going for the cheap joke, here). ;) And - in order to actually sound like real music, it would be cool to somehow slow down the harmonica as it passes in front of the hose. I DID enjoy this.

[ElizabethGS]

@StupidInventions I just thought of a shop-vac? Don't some of them also have a blow option (for blowing leaves)? possible? That technology would seem to be able to be utilized for both a blow/draw instrument. Just tossing ideas out, here. :)

Much luck with your continued experimentation.

[StupidInventions]

thanks! glad you like it!

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

[StupidInventions]

thanks!

glad you liked it!

[kodykid168]

harsh dude, it's a video on youtube, and it's just ink.

[StupidInventions]

some people just like writing mean comments.... ive learned to just ignore them...

[StupidInventions]

I did try a fan blowing into a funnel, but it didnt have enough power to make any noise on the harmonica....

I also tried a hair dryer blowing into a funnel, which did work! But the heat generated by it was an issue...

So the only available, viable option on my limited budget was an old vacuum cleaner... but i am considering buying an external mike for inventions like this where sound is crucial...

[revoltkid123]

ive never tried, it, but what would happen if you took the heating element out of the hair dryer, and just left the fan? lol

[StupidInventions]

if I could remove it without damaging the rest of the dryer, it should work, but I would need a hairdryer that someone is willing to let me break... remember Stupid Inventions is on a tight budget, lol

[revoltkid123]

yard sale? second hand store? lol

[StupidInventions]

hmm, good point, ill keep an eye out,

[StupidInventions]

glad you liked the Invention, it was really fun to make!

[WARl0cKpt]

lolz the invetion is realy cool too bad the vacum cleaner makes such a loud noise

[StupidInventions]

yeah, but as long as you keep it far away you can hear the Harmonica pretty well....

[RaMcHoOk101]

not going to lie this invention is pretty cool lol keep up the great work man :D!

[StupidInventions]

Thanks!

ill try my best!
