If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I haven't played this video, since I'm at work. But I'll assume the steampunk record player is playing a Kraftwerk album.
ReplyDeleteAs an ex navy puke with a steam ticket...I WANT ONE!
ReplyDeleteNangleator, I wouldn't know.
ReplyDeleteNo, Nangleator, they chose the Sex Pistols for some reason. Perhaps that's because the singer's voice warbled somewhat naturally.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, it sounds about like you'd expect when you hook a toy steam engine up to a turntable using belt drive and a minimal flywheel. I'd think a better design would be something where the engine runs a big flywheel, which in turn runs the turntable via a belt.
If the engine had a good enough governor, it just might work.
Hmm. Now that I look at it in fullscreen, that looks like quite a large flywheel, actually. Just reinforces my point, though. Toy steam engines don't turn at anything remotely close to a constant rate.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's a cute idea.
How about a little steam engine that runs a little generator for the 12 volts DC needed to run the typical turntable? Other than THAT, it is a very cool little invention, good sound quality or not. thanks!
