mezin J4D wroteI made one today :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJFOS_HfiiM Awesome :P can you make it slower ? lol check this out too if you haven't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgoSOSGrx4&feature=relmfu
Bassem Jad your contraption made me laugh, especially because of its unnecessarily large size :) you flip that switch and you expect so much more to happen... so silly!
Georges Both machines are definitely useless... What were you thinking guys when you searched for such a video on youtube :O
Georges wikipedia wroteA "DVD Rewinder" is an on-line hoax, joke, and real-life novelty item and gag gift. When a disc is inserted, the device simply spins it for a short while. Useless... Yet, people buy it.
arithma @Jad: Ever heard of a mechanical computer. I'd really hope you can think up a simple circuit but implement it using switches, relays, and so on. Put in some LEDs along the way too. It's going to look flashy!! The idea is to wire up instead of transistors, some relays, or better yet, some mechanical switches. You'd punch in some input, and see the logic flow through to the output. I wish I had the dexterity and patience to build such magnificence. Good job on the "quick return mechanism" btw :)
J4D Arithma, i did that back in 2005 ! :) I did a relay based binary adder without using any ICs ! Only relays and switches :) i may have a picture of it.
