This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between
the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School
of Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the
machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft Iowa, yes farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
Such BS in the description. This is computer animation - it's not a real machine. This is an excerpt from the video "Pipe Dreams", from Atom Films and directed by Wayne Lytle.
