Title: What to do with spare floppy drives? Let's make music!!
Post by: Mika on November 30, 2011, 03:18:34 pm: This is insane, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJOz_y9rZE&feature=feedlik) Imperial Match played by two floppy disk drives.

Does this signify that the students have too much spare time, or that they are just creative? I don't know the answer, but one can't help thinking how did they get the idea of this after hearing it!

I never thought I would live to hear this, the combined sound is more like a synthesizer!

This'll be at least the eleventh time I've watched the duo since September

4 Floppies; pretty darn good, except I think the tempo needs to be a little faster

Post by: deathfun on December 01, 2011, 02:08:53 pm: For some reason, I went from Floppy disc music to laser harp music...
Where's the connection? I was browsing related, and came across "Still Alive" Floppy version, then after that, Tetris theme...
...on laser harp

That link sent me on a appliance splurge
From laser cutters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUmrddqU4N4&feature=related) to motors (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57tM9iqpw4U&feature=related) to 3D printers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-NNGDJ9SdQ&feature=related)

Why do people have so much time on their hands?

I had no idea it was possible to drive the floppy drive motor that way.
