The Antikythera Mechanism in Lego from Small Mammal on Vimeo.
Andrew Carol rebuilt a 2000-year-old analog computer out of Legos. It predicts the year, date, and time of future solar and lunar eclipses accurately to within two hours. All using plastic gears. This film explains how it works.
Using LEGO, your imagination can easily fly away with several type of things you can build, but I guess you never thought that you can actually build with LEGO blocks sounds, don’t you?
We’ve showed previously that you can find LEGO robots that could solve the Rubik’s Cube or even a router made of LEGO; but creating sounds? Well if you thought it was impossible, this guy can prove you wrong, check it out:
The LEGO Sequencer MR II is more than just a toy, it represents for its creator, Yoshi Akai, an instrument. As a step-sequencer, this LEGO design can bring you an interesting variety in sounds using 3 channels as 8 steps sequencer.
The color of the blocks determines the sound that will be played, and if you use three dimensional shapes (by stacking blocks) you’ll get a different sound as well.
Albert Einstein once said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. Indeed, Albert, indeed.
