Happy New Programming Pin Everyone ;)

Happy New Programming wheel Everyone ;)

These Bowden Cables Surprised Me with Spooky Mechanical Action at a distance!

Yes!

Safety First!

Gravity is constant, lets make use of it!?

The Huygens Chain drive allows us to play continuos music!

Woot Woot! We are getting started on a really fun week with some IRL building of a Flywheel prototype. The prototype is designed to answer the age old question: Can I play tight music using a very strong flywheel? The new flywheel have 20x more moment of inertia compared to the MMX Flywheel.

This day was Chaotic to say the least. We had so much setting up and looking for tools to do so we only managed to do three out of five turning operations, we´ll finish up the work on the lathe with the last two operations later this week. The prototype is designed to answer the age old question: Can I play tight music using a very strong flywheel? The new flywheel have 20x more moment of inertia compared to the MMX Flywheel.

You wont believe this but everything went to plan today! Really happy that my understanding of how CAD translates to IRL have improved this much. Lego Kit! :) The prototype is designed to answer the age old question: Can I play tight music using a very strong flywheel? The new flywheel have 20x more moment of inertia compared to the MMX Flywheel.

Crazy crazy day today as we keep on trucking getting this prototype together. We were saved by Jeremias, one of the visitors of the Wintergatan meetup who did a fantastic job turning the ID of the pulley for the tapered bushing.

It´s about damn time! Day 5 has been great, lots of progress and we are getting closer to the real timing tests for the proto. The prototype is designed to answer the age old question: Can I play tight music using a very strong flywheel? The new flywheel have 20x more moment of inertia compared to the MMX Flywheel.

First timing tests are in but not yet analyzed, however, it doesnt feel too promising at the moment. The process and the prototype does it job perfectly, it will provide the clear answers i need. Its still too early to judge though so will continue the testing process over the upcoming days.

Better Lathe than Never

As expected.

The Tightinator is measuring the tightness of transients by measuring the standard deviation of a set number of consecutive transients. When we are looking at the "Best 300" its the tightest 300 consecutive transients of an audio recording we are measuring.

I went to SKF to learn how to design a proper bearing arrangement and share their knowledge with you all. Thank you to Roger and the team at SKF for supporting the Marble Machine :)
