[ThrasherContinue]

smart guy

[xJebu]

Yes but, will it blend.

[ullang]

..my son is 5 years old and he loves to watch your moving works of art.....he can browse all your vidoes all day...............he loves spinning objects...i have some videos of him when he was three, spinning a ring rope on his index finger (on youtube).....

spinning a foot ruler on the tip of a pencil.....just wondering..how much are those?...

[SpecialAndNotDumb]

@ullang I think there is something wrong with your son , You might want to get him checked out , It is not natural a small child is mesmerized by video's of moving objects , its even more concerning that you mentioned at the age of 3 he was spinning a ring of rope . Or it could be you are just boring and he is entertaining himself .

[EmperorOfMars]

@TirianB to get a date rape by hypnosis.

[Gallopingsquirrels]

[FoldedArt]

[327yellow]

[davcroy]

@327yellow Those of us who came of age in the 60's have a hard time giving up the turtle necks and jeans, the hair on the other hand, well.....

[TheGarryModder]

@davcroy haha respect for that comment and respect for your work

[Olysses]

@327yellow its the iClock

[ninjaspion]

[rediwsCp]

@327yellow too soon...

[Perid0tStar]

@rediwsCp hon that steve jobs comment is a year old.... :) /pat*

[tubeseeryou]

Beautiful!

[ataraxic89]

I would totally convert that to battery powered, or even solar powered. mmmm something cool.. springs are so industrial revolution!

[squidwardo1]

thats trippy

[william11121]

about 24 times, haha!

why about 24, and not 25? :o

[JaXNashphun]

because if you turn it 25 times, it opens a portal to another dimension.

[nightfoxx26]

@JaXNashphun so thats why theres only 24 hours in a day

[a222m]

Love your comment ! :D

[pSmall360]

@JaXNashphun One of the very few comment on youtube that make me literally ..."lol"

[MrDemontrigger]

@JaXNashphun Very funny. l like it

[silentvelkro]

@JaXNashphun baaahaha fuck that shits funny

[4r4biq]

quick question.....if it only takes someone to wind it up 24 times and it lasts for three hours... why dont they use this to power motors?

or am i missing something here?

[davcroy]

The sculpture runs for 3 hours because it uses very little energy. The spring doesn't store a huge amount of energy.

[SVKmellow]

a car weighs 1.5 tons and that thing probably weighs just a few grams... also the spring only has to push with a force just slightly higher than the friction in the system. so it doesn't really have to do any work... no speed changes, bumps, no pushing, no direction changes, no work at all... just the friction.

[me700gnomes]

because no one wants to wind up there car.

[drewschkelton]

I was slowly scrolling down ... just waiting for someone to say it.... I laughed.... good times..

imagine a city full of windup cars.. shit if someone released them back in the 50s everyone would be driving them.. old people with their 50mph freeways...

[kikiresistance]

@4r4biq its because of the money

[4r4biq]

@kikiresistance

You mean to develop, manufacturing, retail price?...it just seems too good to be true

[solidsnorky]

@4r4biq you cant get it to move fast enough to create a charge

[VT340]

Thats boring dude

[Skillusion]

Wow :). Dizzying but cool 8-).

[artsaveslives77]

Well - some brain cells regenerated enough for me to remember that it was "Morey pattern" .... but then I posted my response on another of your (wonderful) pieces site!

[liesalllies]

it's actually spelled moire, but it's pronounced like the eel :)

[artsaveslives77]

Thanks for your reply - isn't there a term for the optical effect of that piece? Similar to if you put two pieces of screen mesh together and moved them... (I hate losing brain cells!) Anyway - ALL of your pieces are incredible and I appreciate your sharing them! What fun!

[artsaveslives77]

Wonderful piece! Is the clicking sound the sound of an escapement mechanism? (I couldn't hear it on the video)

[davcroy]

Yes, the clicking sound is the wood escapement pawls striking small brass pins. It is not very loud and hard to pick out on the video.

[qm3ster]

lol dude you're epic

[vippir1221]

that's cool

[GankityGank]
