I think of the Wallace and Grommit animations when I watch your machine talk. So delightfully weird. And the bike is really cool. I bet the steel is necessary for the kind of stresses being put on it with a person riding. I like to imagine that he made little bare feet inside each of the tiny shoes.

[@martijnp]

He actually did make little feet at first that could rotate separately. He found out that they often get stuck on the heels so had to remove them, but kind of funny that this was actually the case in the original design

[@Ryanrulesok]

James definitely didn't make a fleshlight for Adam Savage

[@sock501]

One of my favorite leak-proof silicone casting tips I’ve seen came from Robert Tolone’s channel. You paint the mould mating surfaces with the same silicone that you will be casting, and then close the mould. You let that cure ahead of time, and it creates a gasket that won’t let any of your main silicone leak through (but it may bond to the gasket instead)

[@PrograError]

also powder the hell out of the mold... at least it would make your life tearing it apart easier... or harder... *confused pointing *

[@EvileDik]

When pouring, don't move the pour around the mould, stick to one place so you don't get trapped air. Also pour from as high as you can so you get a thin stream.

[@markfryer9880]

Pouring down the stick also helps prevent air entrapment.

I saw a picture that looked like it was *Colin* as the thumbnail and I had to see. I’ve never seen this channel. *Now, I’m subscribed!* *Thanks for the video!*

[@glleesqwerty6402]

It would work great if you had made a voice box, such as some sort of reed or flexible matirial to push air through. The tone would then change depending on the resonance frequency, wich would be alterable by the mouth and toung. The mistake you made was you used a speaker. The speaker is driven by a fixed tone generated by your computer, and is unafected by the resonance frequency or other variables in the mouth.

[@connorhart2793]

100% agree 👍

[@Graham_Wideman]

Yes, exactly. Our vocal chords produce a very reedy tone with rich harmonics, which the vocal passage filters with two or more "formants" created by blocking, unblocking, or shaping the various cavities. Not to mention we vary the fundamental pitch of the vocal chords as we speak or sing. Air flow per se is not needed, but the harmonics definitely are. So I suspect the apparatus James built is actually a lot better than he thinks -- just needs square or sawtooth wave waveform to the speaker.

[@glleesqwerty6402]

@@Graham_Wideman you are most likely correct now that i think of it.

[@diepurpledino]

I was thinking the same and searched through the comments to see if the point had been made... he showed the bellows experiment, which is a big clue to simulate lung function as the sound source. The vocal cords are muscle-tensioned "reeds" that can be tuned and the mouth shaping as tunable resonator that would be able to tune harmonics. Perhaps a colab with a vocal cord expert like "The Charismatic Voice" channel is in order?

[@aserta]

The biggest difference between what you made and the real deal is the fact that there's no actual sound being "pushed" out. It's a speaker. It will make noise regardless. Sound travels with air, air is pushed out, also, more than just the tongue and lips create the noise. There's indeed quite a lot going on. IMO, this would've worked day one with one major alteration, a larynx and a small pressure vessel (balloon). A reed in the larynx area would've made the noises (limited) and the larynx would've made the volume modulation. Probably a bagpipe would've worked.

"poke it in, poke it around and bang it on the table." Still thinking, "noooooooooooooo..."

[@AintLifeGrand]

Awesome! Just an idea here for the air in the silicone mold: When people cast stuff in concrete, they also need to have a way to get the air out... they use vibration to get the job done. You could try the same using a hacksaw, massager, low freq speakers, etc...

[@AllDayBikes]

Seeing Colin in two thumbnails is shocking and awesome haha

[@Anthony_Matabaro_Tech]

Yep, hahaha 👍

[@kenjinks5465]

A manufacturer that once I worked for put vibration motors on a table to vibrate out the air bubbles of resin. We would fill the cavities of the product with resin after sealing it with RTV silicone then put it on the vibrating table. The circuit board inside was also conformal coated. All this was to weather proof the circuitry inside.

[@joseville]

0:05 The secret santa single big loop is not a guarantee unless the drawing is done in a specific very way: choose someone to draw first, the first drawer. The first drawer's name is excluded from future drawings - otherwise someone might draw the first drawer's name and close the loop prematurely. For i s.t. 1 < i < n where n is the number of people participating, the ith person (1-indexed) to draw is the person that the (i-1)th person drew. The nth person is automatically assigned/becomes the secrete santa of the first drawer, thus closing the loop. If not done this way, it's possible that you end up with more than one loop.

a good tip for the lack of vacuum pump to draw out the air bubbles for the mold is to attach a drill with a lopsided weight on it to a table and leave it running so it's vibrating :)

I've used 3D printed stuff as a silicone mould before. If you want to get something out really quickly then pour some hot water over the plastic, makes it much easier to pull things out rather than chipping away with pliers!

[@glennnyfelt1657]

I can't get over the fact that it sounds it says please everytime the servos move🤣

[@247demon]

2 things I thought about while watching your video. First I would have tried a vibrating fixture to agitate the silicone and let the air bubbles rise similar to the process of using a concrete vibrator to get the air bubbles out of a foundation wall. Second I would have tried using airflow through your mouth tube and used either vibrating cords or something similar to a flute type instrument to generate the sound. For fun I would have also experimented with lighter/heavier gasses to change the tone as well.
