This is Yoo-Yoo (Yo-Yo) Yeh's 250B page
today Sasha let me borrow the small Radio Shack amplifier+speaker and i tried to get my roommates to listen to my heartbeat through a piezoelectric disk. not as good as a stethoscope, but fun. :)
ideas doodles:
Going off the "rain chime", perhaps it could also be possible to have a "slinky piano"? :)
And if you have never been in the stairwell of Packard, I think the stairwell between floors 1 & 2, and 2 & 3, have great potential. Lots of echoes there, and the stairs are made of metal!

This is the week when I carried a small slinky around with me 24/7, to show anyone who would listen. :) And blew out a RadioShack amplifier.
Later I switched to a piezo disk, audio amplifier, and headphones. Still have plans to pop a balloon in Packard stairwell one of these days. Stomped down the metal stairs in tap-dancing boots the other day, that was LOUD.
more ideas doodles - John had an idea to pop balloons - well that is difficult - but bubbles pop! And they are easy to regenerate. so:
(doodle here)
On a side note, I now own... 72 slinkies. Of varying sizes and shapes.
Vases from Paxton Gate coming in tomorrow. Actually building things - Sasha said I could cut up the sheet metal in the lab, and handed me a hot glue gun. I had previously been thinking of plastic or paper leaves/petals. Also lent me a guitar effects pedal. So we'll see what that sounds like!
Metal petals are actually really awesome!
