This is mind blowing engineering - TOTALLY!
Turn off the sound on my music player. . . , and watch 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 machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa.
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video. (Not to mention the hours put into the creating and designing.) It is now on display the the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
