Interval Library

A project made for UWM: shoot something to do with intervals in the library. I chose the moving stacks in the basement. You press a button and they slowly go along a track to open up.

It was sort of a "What happens after hours" type of thing... kinda. If I had to give a reason for the goings on.

Wow... that must have taken forever to do!

[KimHuston]

It wasn't too bad :D

It's so many levels of awesome it's like a Napoleon! But what is the music? I can't read the title...

[KimHuston]

Mozart. Rondo Alla Turca.

I put in the titles for a broadcast size, so they ended up really small for this size.

We have nearly worn the library computer out watching this one! All time classic.

@flameraven42 nope, actually anyone can open them any time the library is open to get a book out.

but it looks 'cool'...tho...

[forfrens]

in a long run will those shelves & racks last

with tons of books and keeps on moving like that...

n i think it can be implemented in big libraries n a lot of money to spend...

watch the video again

I believe when the library is open all the shelves are extended; they're only closed when the library shuts down for the night. So they're not constantly opening and closing just to get out a few books.

he he... looks like playing the piano with shelves and books... awesome!

It all depends on the friction. Trains move hundreds of tonnes efficently due to low friction.

[ragingsquism]

those selves would be terrifying to get stuck in between

[iohin]

Can you imagine how much energy this thing eats to move so many shallows just to take one book???

Save energy! Use Internet!
