Display.
This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind
up in catcher cones.
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 machine's Components came
from 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 will 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.

I love the music in that video but...

Sadly it's not real. It was posted in Spebers Auditorium & it fooled Speber. There's that & some other really cool ones in the thread though. I spent hours listening to them one night. I think I"ll listen to them again, thanks.

I have both animusic videos. Speber, If you want to upload them, we can share with others? They are so cool to watch. Some of them are very flashy, so not appropriate to view for those with sensitivity to flashy thingys.
