Fantastic Machine

============================================
Taking some time to research expensive electronics before you buy them can save you a lot of money on a TV, for example. If you haven’t had to choose between televisions in a while you might not know how advances in electronics have changed televisions, so reading online about LCD TVs compared to plasmas might help you a lot.

My brother emailed me this video today and I figured it was so cool that it already had to be on YouTube (see below).  In addition to the video the email contained the following information:

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.

Here’s the video:
