The first one it's a Conner hard drive. I recognize their typical noise when the motor starts to spin up and when it reaches the nominal RPM. Great video!
ok - i love em too :) - i use them as a musical instrument and i play with their magnetic fields. i have been planning on building a harddrive database with all my hd's - could be interesting for you!
well, that's quite easy - i pick up the magnetic fields with a coil - which is naturally sensitive to induction. thats all - you just have to amp it up so you can hear it...
well yes and no - i'm not sure if a condenser microphone will be able to pick up magnetic fields, but piezoelectric and dynamic microphones are sensitive to magnetic fields of any kind - afaik.
i sooo love those horny old gloomy creepy scruffy disk's mechanics!!! they're damnly intriguing compaired to today boring and obvious disk's inner hardware..
i forgot to mention, that the microphones ability to pick up magnetic fields is something engineers try to avoid. it is a flaw, and it only works if you are close to a strong source!
i'm not sure if i would call myself a researcher - i'm into d.i.y or bricolage and am an artist and musician... :)

why are u so obsessed with the kalok drive? :)
i'm not sure if this drive is still working - i will see what i can do for you...

i did the same thing with the magnetic fields, cool make a video!

@00ROSSI00 I love Hard Drives too! but the Kalok would be interesting.

wow that is REALLY kool ... five stars !! OH and the drive at exactly 23.00 seconds into the video is EXACTLY like my old HDD

how did you get the sound?

wich means that camera mic "hears" magnietic fields that our ear cannot hear?

i used a coil from a walkmen pickup system - if thats the word - in this video.
at 20sec you can see it taped to the lever housing in the front left part of the image.
i have been using this technique since 2001 in my live sets and as "studio" equipment.
go check out my site if your interested.

the hard disk lever at 19c seems from a very old hard disk mechanics (maybe late 80's?)
awfulguitarplucker 4 years ago
hmm - let me see...
it's a damn old thing:
KALOK octagon disc drive KL 330
32Megs in size!!!!
the interesting thing is that the hd-lever is positioned using a stepper motor!

can you make a single video of the KL 330 but with normal sound? would be nice

really cool!!! seems you're a very serious researcher in this "field" aren't you?
