The Elmo/Ernie Machine - Circuit Bent Contraption

[angelpichu1]

ok so i watched the video like 3 times over and i still cant figure out if it plugs in or it needs batteries.

[PrivateMetalhead]

The noise at 0:56 gets me every time I hear it.

[Lachlant1984]

It sounds as if some of the sounds it makes are playing havoc with your camera's audio system.

[carpeteria]

@Lachlant1984

Nah, it's all natural havoc.

[SuperHOTrains]

where can you get it or make it

[carpeteria]

@SuperHOTrains

I am its creator, so you could get the only one at my house if you came over and stole it. If you want to make one yourself, it's two different Sesame Street toys that are circuit bent and stuffed into an old air purifier housing.

GLaDOS for kids?

[shiva230178]

Wooooww, very cool look!

=^.^=

[xOnyxTheHedgehogx]

Out of the 2, Elmo is the creepiest.

[xxvarcexx]

at :27 soundd like go to hell

[unfasten]

at 49 seconds it sounds like the guitar solo from "Icky Thump" by The White Stripes.

[carpeteria]

yeah, they totally ripped me off. oh well.

[Lucidghost]

I like the noise at the end.

"I feel GREAT!"

[Filosofen88]

That thing totally gives me the creeps o.o. Think i need a chipmunk doll so i can sleep tonight...

[kumajerome]

I sometimes watch circuit bending videos and this one is really good in my opinion!!! I love the twisted sounds it makes!!!! ^^

Good job!

[carpeteria]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

[Nicetry75]

1:23, elmo sounded pissed off

[BitmapRecords]

lol ya. you look hot. you must get all of the ladies and get laid every single night.

[iwanttowatchsomethin]

Fun stuff. Hey! I've been doing this stuff since the 70's. Back in those days they didn't call you a circuit bender, just a weird kid who needs friends bad. LOL. Enjoy.

[carpeteria]

ha - well, they still call you weird, either way.

[jred456]

sounds like fireworks a bit

[NAPREDATOR]

I suppose your a technitian.

[carpeteria]

a technician? only in the most basic sense of the word...

[Nicetry75]

That thing scares me!!! it won't stop staring!!!!!

[carpeteria]

Your guess would be entirely, completely accurate. The breathing mechanism is the flap on the back of the new housing. It has absolutely no purpose at all.

[su7a7sband]

are both toys cross bent into one another?

[carpeteria]

Nope, not at all. They're completely seperate, but their controls still interact with each other somehow, just through their proximity to each other, I guess.

[earlcurl]

totally awesome!

[carpeteria]

Thanks - I appreciate it.

[ZombeastFX]

Pretty cool man.

[carpeteria]

Thank you very much!

[boldlittleairwave]

That case is really cool. It looks kinda like an old radio...

[carpeteria]

Thanks - it's actually an air purifier that I gutted out. There was a fan inside, but it worked perfectly as a speaker box once I got it out. The eyeballs used to be Elmo's...

[rowanlloyd123]

lol "used to be"
