Various mechanical projects

Project:VaMePro I
Started:summer 2008.
Finished:summer 2008.
Materials:wood,parts from vintage radio's,motor,1950's capacitor.
Notes:One of the things I like to do is to build machines that resemble old steamengine's(somewhat).For this one the main 
focal point is the big metal wheel that comes from a 1950's radio.

Project:Clockwork
Started:Summer 2008.
Finished:December 2008.
Materials:wood,clockwork,vintage radio parts,coil,copper.
Notes:This is a project based around a clockwork out of an old alarmclock which still works,
but not properly.When you wind it up it starts running very fast.Time indeed flies then...
I've added an extra coil for aesthetic effect.

Project:Three motors.
Started:Fall 2008.
Finished:Fall 2008.
Materials:record player stylus,VCR motors,fans from microwave motors,steel.
Notes:Using a metal base from a record player this project has three motors which spin at different
speeds.This wasn't easy to achieve:the difference had to be noticeable and the motor which
spins at the slowest rate sometimes requires a helping hand.
To complicate matters I also wanted to use the record player stylusses with the blinking LEDS.
