medium: nautilus shell, Arduino, acrylic, silicone tube, air pump, fringe from noisemaker, 9V battery
WOW what an awful noise........... Wonder why......
Initial sketch for my stand:
A real life depiction I found on the internet for the stand (whew, expensive...):
I am working within Adobe Illustrator to come up with a design that will be sent to MassArt's Laser Lab. I will have my acrylic (that I got from local supplier Altec Plastics) cut perfectly in the coming weeks, so that I can solder my wires and place my electronics properly.
Oh, by the way, here is the physics behind what I'm doing:
Next week, stay tuned for my Arduino code that will make all this happen, as well as a list of all the components and where I got them, and perhaps a WIP acrylic structure.
But before you go, here is an amazing paper that is fueling my project: "Seashell Sound" by Stefan Heimreich
