on creating “THE WHIMSICAL MACHINES”

GENERAL GUIDES

PLAYERS: Two APPARATUS: Two sets of objects: one is whimsical and one is solemn.

Several tools to break objects apart.

Several tools to stick them together.

THE REAL TABLE

A MACHINE THAT DOES NOTHIN

NG BUT SPINNING = A PENDULUM

MATERIALS: 1 steel rod 1 vinyl 2 laster cut based 1 spring sheet 1 cage 2 bottom hats 2 top hats 1 cork

2 blue wheel 1 pink wheel 19 buttons 8 red strings 4 blue strings 1 yellow string 1 big spring 1 relative atmosphere moisture wheel

ASSEMBLY: Put the steel rod in the middle of the vinyl.

Put the Vinyl on top of two bases. Make sure the distance between the bases and the vinyl is far enough to put the spring sheet and the cage in.

Put the two bottom hats across the steel rod.

Put the cork and the bottom blue wheel in. The cork will hold the wheel.

Put the big spring on top of the bottom blue wheel.

Put the top blue wheel in.

Put two top hats on top of the steel rod.

Use 16 buttons and 8 red strings to fix the top hat through the top blue wheel to the vinyl.

Use 4 blue strings to connect the top blue wheel to the bottom hats.

Put 3 buttons and 1 small pink wheel across the blue strings.

Use 1 yellow string to connect the top blue wheel to the bottom blue wheel.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: The machine stands based on balancing itself. It can rotate and spin. You can move the blue wheel up and down for adjusting the spring.

1. TOUCH THE TOP HAT 2. ADJUST THE RELATIVE ATMOSPHERE MOISTURE WHEEL 3. SPIN 4. KNOW WHEN TO STOP

ALICE’S PROPOSAL (2). PLAN 1:1000 @A3

UT ROTATING = A FILTERING SYSTEM

MATERIALS: 2 screws 1 vinyl 2 steel rods 1 hat 3 weirdly shaped legs 1 motor 1 fan 1 base

red and yellow strings 1 inclinometer 1 red ball 3 metal sheets 3 yellow base 1 corks

ASSEMBLY: Put the vinyl on top of the base.

Put the motor on top of the vinyl.

Drill a hole in the vinyl. Put the inclinometer in.

Drill two holes in the motor. Put one steel rod in.

Put a screw inside the motor. This will hold the motor and the fan together.

Put the fan on top of the motor.

Drill two holes on the fan. Bend and put a steel rod in.

Drill holes in the yellow bases and metal sheets. Put them across the steel rod. Use screws and corks to hold the sheets.

Use strings to connect everything together.

Put three weirdly shaped legs on top of the fan using strings.

Put the red ball on the yellow bottom base.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: The assembly guide only briefly describes the making of the machine. Things are hold together based on tension.

1. CLICK THE ON/OFF TRIGGER TO START THE MACHINE 2. ADJUST THE INCLINOMETER 3. USE THE WATER-POURER IF MUST. PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAKE OFF THE HAT FIRST

THIS IS A PAGE THAT DOES NOTHING

A MACHINE THAT DOES NOTHING BUT CONVERSING NO

OTHING INTO NOTHING = AN ELECTRIC BATHING PIPE

MATERIALS: 1 light bulb 1 spring 1 piano wire 1 guitar wire 4 steel rods 1 metal hook to hold the bulb on top 2 metal bases, one at the bottom and one at the top 1 oak base 2 buttons ASSEMBLY: Connect two metal bases to the oak base with steel rods.

Put the light bulb into the top metal base.

Put the metal hook on top of the top metal base.

Wire two wire across the metal hook, into the top metal base and along to the bottom base.

Put the spring across the piano wire.

Tie everything together with buttons.

Bend the steel rods at the bottom to make it stand.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: This is a fixed machine. No interaction is needed. The purpose of this is to provide a fixed base for the two other whimsical machines.
