Pentagonal Wave

[DragonXflyer]

Very impressive work! Its such a simple concept, yet to even conceive of such a design much have been a lot of work.

[turbopokey]

"And that , kids, is the power of math..." boring, of course, but not every day is a tuesday.

[otdave2784]

amazing!

[BlackJackGamer21]

I don't know a thing about art but this is mesmerizing

[PaulMurrayCanberra]

ONe thing I would love to see is a sculpture that uses the different expansion rates of different metals to create a flower that opens by itself in sunlight and closes in the cold. On a cloudy day, with patches of sunlight and shade, it would seem alive.

[biclink]

I'm sorry , but just can't see the point. With the time and energy used to build this thing one could have made something useful.

[ColdCoffeeAtMidnight]

@biclink that's one of the few great things about large, post industrial societies. We don't all have to be using the majority of our time to make pots and plant fields in order to keep ourselves and families functioning. There are plenty of people out there developing useful things, which creates plenty of time for people who want to spend all their energy developing things that are beautiful just to be beautiful, to do so.

[unappreciatedWife]

dude how many baked beans did u need to eat to make that?

[jonjoy1999]

@unappreciatedWife I think they're paper cans, like Pringles cans, not aluminium cans

[MGFansite]

Fabulous idea, and incredibly relaxing to watch the movement.

[jaamil30]

imagine if you were stoned and watching this :O

[Shard1697]

Imagine if each of those cylinders was a lantern...

[DaxyToTheMax]

Wow. That's amazing.

[ColeFried81]

Holt shit Reuben you're a genius. This is amazing

[MrDJEscoBAR]

Looks like not only Spiderman got some diffrent DNA :-) very nice

[jpallas]

Very Nice! The simplicity is brilliant.

[Chimera7Krusnik7]

But will it blend?

[Zickino167]

@Chimera7Krusnik7 But will you shut up?

[satanisback]

@Chimera7Krusnik7 But Will you Make an Original comment?

[Haygan9799]

but when you poke it...

[fastchapter]

Bump into that thing and you have the world's loudest wind chime. :)

[ColeFried81]

@fastchapter Actually they're shipping tubes. Uline shipping tubes. They started out white and appear to have foil tape on them. I'm completely blown away about this because I have about 100 full size shipping tubes sitting 10 ft from me and I want to know how to build this. BAD. This thing is cool man!

[unambitious]

I'm going to make one out of red bull cans! Lol no who am I kidding. I'd prolly die of too much red bull or get side tracked with another project...

[MrKaelWilliams]

god damn...that takes dedication

[oriolun]

@mkhu9099 So what? There is no practical and cultural sense here. Watch your speech, BTW

[oriolun]

@mkhu9099 I see no sense

[presbarkeep]

beautiful. 

[alaespsd]

it's really good :)) but i can't understand why you used cylinders. do you think of some other options to apply?

[Pouffmusic]

Amazing!



[popper492]

I want to lay on it

[AnimePRFury]

this is real magic, isn't it? you're amazing!!!

[popper492]

mindfuck

[AikoMonster]

ZMFG! 0:00 - 0:14 Its like.. i dont know. Like those things go on and on and never stop Just like an everlasting wave! I wish i could lie under it

[LNCR16]

Ok i know i'll probably sound like a dick but i really want to cut those strings xD

Awesome piece though

[sergio79argento]

wooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww fantasticcccc

[cash4sellers]

I want one in my londge .. .. only 1 question: does it make any noise?

[anarkoFred]

That's pretty cool !

[larlar752000]

trippy

[TheBserk]

wow!

[Mikej1592]

3d art, no 3d AWESUM art.

[imadethisaccount0]

wow, now thats art :D

[DJelectfire]

what is really cool is that there is not fancy controller just a motor spining an armature around to which alll the strings are attached to!

[iiMarleyGB]

Looks like a bunch of moving cylindrical things with wire attached to me.But what can i say,maybe im not creative enough,Hmm shit happens.

[Blamango]

Thumbs up if you want to run at that thing with a pair of hedge trimmers.

[soCCTViety]

how does it sound when it moves, you could use pipes with specific tones, it could be quite interesting

[gkertsopoulos]

Bravo! Congratulations for the inspiration, the art and the science you exhibit, keep on and all best,cheers*****Yorgos

[unambitious]

I've been studying robotics and their forms of propulsion. So many have 4/6/12 servos just to clunk along awkwardly. So I looked to kinetic art and namely your pieces for inspiration towards creating complex yet simple locomotion methods with minimal motors. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[nowexit]

Beautiful



[ildeliso]

that is one of the most complicated things ive seen

[ElTrio666]

canns attached to ropes going up and down...

[ayanamai]

Just saw this at Maker Faire in San Mateo... amazing! And if you stand underneath and look directly up, it's the trippiest thing I've ever seen. It's a shame there aren't any videos that show it from that angle.

[05macdonaldsmitha]

holy moly! thats complicated

[Scerab]

can you tell me about any method to this madness? I know you must of found some kind of pattern to figure out how to organize those wires, and it must be a pretty interesting and complex pattern.

[pifou111]

wicked!! =)

[exup1k]

The thought that this required to turn the circular motion into the uniform wave using different routing and lengths of string.... hurts my head just trying to work it out, amazing

[Dawnstar42]

absolutely amazing

[AdrenalineObsession]

wow

"simply" amazing

[blitexxx]

beautifull

[vlmarshall]

Very nice. It's a complex version of the Flying Crank Ghost. Thanks for sharing it!

[Airsep]

eventually, the strings would wear out and fall.

[TheMidnightGuy]

The video will remain. And the thing can be rebuilt

[MrProgrampro]

Lol It's awesome: my guess is that this guy just had this awesome idea, and it turned out to make a wave! Lol still amazing, tho!

[musk420]

try not to guess/assume so hastily

[bwilliams1553]

as a sculpture student, i have to say that your work is absolutely breath-taking and very much inspiration for me

[schmoogleman]

i didnt think it was really that great until the video showed it was just one motor hooked up to all the strings. i thought it was just on some sort of computer program hooked to every individual string

[ElectronicSculptures]

it definitely belongs in the Pentagon

with the trillion dollar budget they have.

[sparhu]

how much do they sell these for?

[manofaction2828]

OH MY GOD! That's insanely inticate. Amazing work. The creative mind.... wow

[madeup7777777]

THIS IS SO AMAZING! Its so intricate with the strins and the design! good work!
