If you're looking for funny new technology, you've come to the right place. The Internet of Sh*t (Twitter account) is dedicated to dystopian technology. Think smart toilets. Robot shoppers. And blenders. This Twitter account includes tweets about new technologies. Many of the posts are about technology, which makes it easy to wonder "What's the deal?"
The device can play music with 2,000 marbles
Swedish musician has created an instrument that can make music by dropping 2,000 marbles onto it. The marbles are able to move along tracks, making contact with drums and cymbals. The marbles land on different instruments creating sounds that can change in pitch, speed and volume. The central wheel rotates and launches the marbles. The video below shows the machine in action.
Martin Molin, a Swedish musician, spent seven years building the Marble Machine. It uses 2,000 marbles for soft music. The marbles strike different parts of the machine, including a vibraphone, a bass guitar, a vibraphone, and a Turkish crash cymbal. The device can be turned on and off manually, and the marbles will recycle as it plays.
The Wintergatan Marble Machine, made from birch plywood, is controlled by a series gears. The marbles travel around the circuit making music. The marbles act as cymbals. They also function as a bass, kick drum, and bass. Several of the parts, including funnels and pulleys, are made from LEGO technic parts. The device can also be used to make wooden music boxes.
The device produces 400 millijoules energy
The device harvests energy from sweat that accumulates at your fingertips. With over 1000 sweat glands per fingertip, the fingertips are one of the most sweaty areas in the body. These glands produce energy when they are pressurized, which can be stored to power an electronic timepiece for up 24 hours. The device was worn on the fingertip of subjects while they slept to generate 400 millijoules energy in one study. This is roughly 10% of the energy that the sun gives off each instant.
The device works by absorbing sweat from your fingertip
The device uses the energy produced by your perspiration to recharge your devices. The area where sweat is most concentrated in the fingertip is the largest. Each fingertip contains more than 1,000 sweat glands. It can also produce 400 millijoules (energy) per day. This enough energy is enough for an electronic wristwatch to run for 24 hours.
The device generates electricity using the dissolved lattate in your sweat. This energy can then be used to power wearable medical devices, such as blood pressure and heart monitors. The biofuel cell looks like a thin pad attached to your finger. It's made of carbon nanotubes and hydrogel.
A typical 10-hour night of sleep can generate 20 to 40 microwatts at each fingertip. It wouldn't be sufficient to power a smartphone but it could power a watch and other electronic devices with lower power. This could keep your wristwatch online for up to 24 hours. Because of its highest concentrations of sweat glands researchers used your fingertip. Each finger has over a thousand sweat glands.
