Mr Plinkelton I am fascinated by your videos. I hope to one day use the laser pickup and hear the Existential Trio live. Thank you for your work!!

i was reading old Oklahoma State Penitentiary zine the Eye Opener from 54 and was thinking how did they get this awesome blue red purple print and here it is.

Thanks for your comment. I have a small collection of 1950’s fanzines. Some of the multicolor artwork in them is truly amazing considering that each color was individually added.

Very cool and like how you preserved it. I was wondering if it would work better with a crystal earphone, the one you showed appears to be low z magnetic and i imagine the 1 transistor would have a hard time driving that. Thank you.

Thank you for the advice……I’ve ordered a crystal earphone. This makes me think that the earphone I have is not the original.

Being born in 1952 myself, I certainly understand your passion for this classic toy. Since the focus of your video is on mechanical-type toys, mine was Tinker Toy construction set. Other than that, the toy that enthralled me the most was the boomerang. To see a Non-electronic object get flung and then fly back at me was truly magical!

Awesome stuff! Would love to hear how it sounds through a vocoder or synth pedal, as it seems like timbre won’t matter that much

Interesting project. Wouldn't it be easier (and perhaps less bulky) to use one laser split into six beams by fibre optic cables?

Hi Robin, thanks for your comment. I think there are a number of different ways to do this. Yours is a very interesting method.

Awesome idea and super cool looking, unfortunately without some type of unique tone or incredible increase in functionality it is probably overly complicated and much too cumbersome a device since one can attain the same sounds with a magnet and some copper coils. I bet it looks super cool and sci-fi in the dark though!

Cool pickup. It requires a ton of power though. *And definitely needs some tone corrections.

Tried with optical gates, that part that is in all printers instead of end switch. Sounded very good. Look also for Hoag K-max, that guy made a working product.

Thanks so much for this. This is invaluable info. I want to get a spirit duplicator and make my own zines, without relying on a lot of digital tech.
@existentialphysicswithogar11805 ай бұрын
Making fanzines is truly a lost art…..I wish you all the best with the making of your fanzine. Spirit Duplicator Fluid is difficult to find. Rubbing Alcohol is a decent substitute.

I have another idea for a guitar pickup: install a typical electromagnetic pickup of an electric guitar, but instead of using the signal at the terminals of the pickup coil, use the signal from the voltage variation at each end of the string (at the nut and the bridge). Theoretically, there is supposed to be a signal since the string is a conductor moving in a magnetic field
@Ma_X645 ай бұрын
Should work. But there will be some technical troubles. 1) Strings are different so signals will be inconsistent between themselves. 2) Steel isn't a good mateial for any coil so signals will rather be weak. 3) You need a step-up transformers for each string to match the impeedance.

You should use non-metal frets. You should anticipate humming noise. You'll need a very high gain amplifier.
@Ma_X644 ай бұрын
@@iblesbosuokyou don't need non-metal frets actually. As far as frets are perpendicular to strings, each of them is on the equipotential line so current won't go. But next notes are correct.
@iblesbosuok4 ай бұрын
@@Ma_X64 I also withdraw the last argument. Guitar strings generate low voltages low impedance. A transformer can convert it to a higher voltage with a higher impedance.
