counterweight system works great. So, it's pretty promising, I feel today. Actually, I feel kind of happy about this. Okay, let's then uh Yeah, I have to keep moving it down, I guess. And thanks to chat for reminding me I put the link in the description to the second YouTube channel, so you can make sure that you're subscribed for future live streams. That is perfect. Link in the description. I think perhaps we are I think we are at a pretty decent vibrator speed here. We can I I'll add a flap. So, we can judge it from the little flag here. Uh Well, it looks pretty fast. One one one one one It's a bit fast, but um Yeah, I think we're going to try that first. Uh Gear train is done, Hannes. — That is so beautiful. It's extremely beautiful, isn't it? Screams childhood. I love it. So, um I should have kept this side flat, though. So, we can put this against the wood. Let's see how we can do this easily. Um If I attach We need to get this onto the plywood. Let me think about how to do that. Oh. Perhaps with a washer stack. Don't mind if I do. Ooh, yes. Ye good old washer stacks. And I just want to echo here what Harmonially is saying in chat, Martin. Yeah. Can you see it? No, um do you know — Just wanted you to see that. All right, now I'm just going to do some fastening holes for some screws. I'm going to put screws through this Lego. It's almost like adding the glue to the Lego. It's not as bad, perhaps. I love The Lego Movie when it came, and then I I had some friends visiting, some older friends visiting. I was like, we should watch The Lego Movie, and they just absolutely hated it. Cuz they lost their will to live, basically. Yeah, it was like they lost respect from They wanted to see something artsy, and I'm like, this is Genius. — This is genius. This is life. And they were like, what's this? Mhm. And I felt ashamed afterwards. Yeah, they should know that everything is awesome. But I'm like also like if you're not into it's quite hectic. Uh that movie. Yeah, they're old. Basically, they're old. Yes. Old and boring. But also like there's some nerd references in there, and if you don't like those, I guess Okay, so I guess I don't need to meet these friends of yours. All right, we have the vibrator. We have the screws positioned. I have my '80s Lego remote control. Um Let's now get this thing onto this thing. I'm going to get a camera on the back side of this. Going to put the A73 on. Absolutely. And Talusa is asking, "Are you reading YouTube chat, Hannes? " Yes, I'm always reading the chats. I can't always read everything, but I read it, and I put great questions up when there's good time to ask them. And if they're flattering towards me, I always read them. That's the deal we have here. — Yeah, here we go. I see Chris here. Let's see. Chris B, "Adults that don't like toys are suspect. " Yes. So, there on the A73, we have a good close-up of the front. — Oh, that is nice. Now, I'll I'll take you behind the plate, because the Lego motor is going to be behind this plywood here. And Talusa understood the assignment with this comment here. "How are you so handsome, Hannes? " That's the way to do it. Now, you can sneak in a question to Martin in there as well. That's how he gets my heart. And I don't know. It's just great genetics, you know. I don't know how I'm this handsome. Not easy for people to handle. And I'm very humble. Okay, so we have on the wide, then. Let's see. Do you know what I used to say, Hannes? It's that I'm not very good at being humble, but everything else I'm really Yeah. absolutely great at. Look at that sus- suspicious hole back there. Okay, so yeah. So, if you I put my poke my finger through Yeah. go to the A73 Ah. see my little finger there. — [clears throat] — That's where this If we go to the wide again here, that's where this uh this last thing is going to go through. So, let's start by removing that shaft. Mhm. Uh And try to put it in from Oh, you we can stay on the wide, actually. — Okay. It's coming through there. Okay, okay. Ooh, is it a little bit short? Ah, do I have a longer one? Or do I need to extend it? That was annoying. Or can I Ah, it's just We're missing a centimeter here. Or is it just I was too short. All right. Okay, okay. Let's see what I can do about that. I had super long these somewhere, but not Okay, I'm going to rummage through my drawer here. We can see you, kinda. Oh, that's a longer one. Okay, here's a long one. In the A7 the really little one. So, let's move this flap to this new thing here. Or can I just extend this, because it's hard to get this flap off. The flap is made of duct tape. Oh, no. Who has Who's the culprit? Um Ah. It's just the wrong size to extend it. And can I extend it? Okay, sorry. I have to rummage. Okay, I The sound of sorting through a box of Lego. Ah, chat is saying. They love it. The sound brings back memories. Okay, I'm going to do an ugly extension. Mhm. And um So, I'll I'm going to extend it with this little wheel. And we'll hope for the best. This is not the way to do it, but that was the part I found. Mhm. Uh do do do do So, now let's get this thing Okay, I'll try again. Shaft through there. Mhm. We're on the back side there, and then we'll switch to the front. Look at that. There we go. And we were going through here. Mhm. [clears throat] Mhm. I need to connect this on the thing. Okay, so little hard to film this nicely for you. My hand is going to be in the way. Ah, it is pretty epic, and I can switch to the front every now and then, so we can see you what you're doing. Short moment of time. Yeah, good. Get it in there. It's in. Look at that. Now for the extension. How What's length? Okay, we can fix the length with some washer stacks. — Of course we can. And we have the extension. Okay, I This could have been smoother from me, but hey. I know you're so used Everyone is so used that I'm everything I do is so smooth. Yeah, I remember distinctly a CNC machine the other day. That was pretty smooth and steady, right? My mom gave me a talking to about safety afterwards. — May I talk into after most streams, so — Mhm. Yeah. I'm considering myself lucky. Yeah, your mom is the best. — Yes. Leave it at that. — Yeah. Okay, we have connection, Hannes. Let's try. Oh, it was smooth. We have some life on the front, I think. Let's go to the front. Can you see it in the — Yeah, yeah, we see it. OH. How good am I on this? That is singing. And also check this, like even when I hit the note the upper down position doesn't make a big difference on the sound. Yeah, yeah. Please do a nice little recap of this moment here. This is good for Alfons. To the video. What makes me really happy here is that when I strike the note and move the note it almost sounds the same in whatever position the note is. It's no pitch bend or anything. — Let's take a peek at the backside. There we have it. There's a motor running it all. And then I can control with this. So let's strike it. Okay, it works. Okay, from the front. Ah. — All right. That's that The Timekeeper's layer says that's awesome. Nice. Sounds good already. Thank you for for the good vibes. The mechanics of the LEGO technique is maybe not the nicest, but hey. Very good first test. Uh Is that everything you want to say in the short recap here? Yeah, you can stop it. — Yeah, thank you. — I'm going to uh Now I need uh to hang it up a little bit better. My Meanplex says the volume seems to fluctuate with up or down. Perhaps this is less apparent in real life and or doesn't influence the tone. I think I heard that too. I think it's uh Subtle, but it's there. I think it's equally I think it's absolutely um I think it's We can go here. I think it's absolutely Let me fix the focus on this just I hear it also, Meanplex. Um Especially the vibrato felt less deep when we were in the top position at the bottom position. But I think this the bar isn't going to spend time in the low position. I can't put any real pressure on this screw. Okay, there I got it. Um Perhaps on the second one I can put a bit more pressure. It goes in faster. Okay, we have something. Then we have to move We have to work with the position here because okay, we're completely wrong place, are we? Where am I? I'm too low. Okay, okay, okay. Ah. I think I heard the same thing. So we're going The volume floats. Maybe because due to changing height of flap versus tube position. Hang on, I'm just going to Changing the resonance. Yeah. Oh, that's a better position. See if I can adjust it sideways here. Pull it out a little bit down there. Oh, I can This is why you build with LEGO. I know I need a distance here to control. I can just add a little LEGO so I get the distance. Angle one more in, I guess. LEGO prototyping for the win. This is so much fun. I don't want to see the It's a bit too I need to check it from the front, actually. I think the axle is touching in a few spots. Pretty fun though that it works so well immediately. Oh, now this is on my mic again. I think we need to get come out a little bit. And perhaps up. No, now it's too much out. Precision. — Precision prototyping. I think we need some tape. Oh. Hey. I think what's — That's where it's at. What's I see the tape. Diggy diggy diggy dig. How are you feeling now then, Hannes? I've never been better. It's smooth sailing over here. Nice. — All the streams are going. I'm relaxing. You're doing LEGO prototyping. I mean, is this my life? It is pretty grand, I have to say. Even though I'm in Stockholm, I'm kind of enjoying it. That was not a subtle dig against the capital. — So let's just secure the position of this with some masking tape. Mhm. I mean, it's proving the point already. It's — [snorts] — It would be nicer if it could be completely frictionless. Let's see how this Okay, it needs to go a bit in. Can I push that in? Ooh, this is really close. Push this in a bit more. Oh. That's come almost without interference. It's still a little bit low. What if I allow it to come in one LEGO thing? Think we're there, kind of. — It's moving. Oh. There's no vibrato at all. It's the What happened with the flap? Okay, wait. I see it. My um the connection of the thing is dead. Of course. This was not so good. It's this stupid um extension I made that I said was not going to work well. Uh That's really annoying. Perhaps if I remove this. — [clears throat] — Huh. Need to go and get a plier. Do it. Do it. So what is the question? Drop a marble. Let's see it moving with a real marble. People are getting anxious here now. Marble, marble. Nice, nice. That's kind of the next step. We're going to rig it up on the big prototype. I'm going to rebuild the big prototype uh now as the next step and remove my old vibraphone from it because now we're having our own vibrato. The old vibraphone is no longer needed. Let's see. We got a donation from our dear friend Martin with a statement here. This feels like harbinger of complexity of tuning. Is that something you agree with? — Which part of it, Martin? — All of it? — Position of the LEGO thing is a prototype tuning issue that won't be there on the real thing. If you mean this exact thing that is happening right now. Mhm. Does it work? Yes, thank you so much for the donation. We appreciate it as always. We made a vibraphone. And it sounds good and it moves. Oh, that sounds so good. Whoops. Let's take a look at the motor, yeah. Take the perfect stability on the backside as well. Ooh. You got a nice chugga chugga chugga The train is coming. The hype train is leaving the station. Look, one little thing and it's completely stable. Oh. — [bell] — Wow. — Wow. Martin, expand on your comment about tuning complexity. Which part of it did you mean? It's interesting to hear which one you meant. And while he does that, I just want to the daily reminder from RSCK. Good morning, Hannes and Martin. Lovely to see you tinkering with LEGO today. I saw a bit of the previous streams and I couldn't believe Marcus joined. And as I always say, never give up. Thank you, RSCK. We love to hear that positivity. Um I'm not going to get try to get that in a better position. It's proving its point. Okay, perhaps now when I can actually we can listen to it in the different positions. The plate is never going to spend time in the lowest position. But let's anyway listen to it. So, in the high position and then low. You can hear that the vibrato is less here. It's no big difference, actually. That's really great news. Uh team static just took a big loss, huh? — Court is in session. And team jiggly has to rebrand themselves. That's a bad name. Team meaning life has meaning. Team there is love in the world. — Um So, yeah. I think I'm pleased with that. I think the next thing is actually to rebuild the big prototype, get this onto the big prototype and start try to throw marbles at this. I don't have my little silicon wedge that makes a good sound, which is a bummer, but perhaps I can use something else from rubber just to get that first marble moving this vibraphone plate. Mhm. And Hal says hashtag team love exists and team life has a meaning. — Uh And we have Martin came back here and says, I feel like the harmonics will be different with each channel dependent on position of the their tube. As the song goes on, says it's not really be going to be constant up down, but rather traversing in between positions. So, it's I don't think it's really true. It's only going to move exactly when hit. So, it's going to be and I want to build the stops better. Now we have a back and forth. I hate that. It should go down and it should go up again. So, perhaps the counterweight is a bit strong right now, for example. It moves back too fast, perhaps. Let's actually try that. Um so it's only in the down position just right after being hit and then it stays in the up position always, the default position. I'm going to move the counterweight in to make the counterweight weaker uh to see if we can have less of a jiggly uh — [clears throat] — I love this comment here from Florian. Team movement all the way or should we call ourselves team depression? — I think team depression is the best It sounds like we're going to be depressed because we didn't finish the machine, but we meant something We're so happy. Team depression is the official name. So, now you can see that the counterweight I moved it in. Uh the counterweight isn't strong enough to lift the bar. Uh so, let's keep it here and let's add just as much weight as needed to get it to lift the bar. Um I think I have a small clamp, for example. Oh, that's too heavy. A little plier, perhaps? So, we're doing this punk style. We're just adding a plier here. Perfection. Okay, it's going to That's not so good. We can add a plier here. Oh, that didn't really help. Now it's too strong again. Should I then move it in a bit more? Let's try the next step in. See if we can find a perfect balance. And now it's too weak. Okay. Mhm. I need some more fine-tuning of the counterweight. This would actually be fun. So, I need a smaller plier, I guess. — It's a even smaller plier. Um something that weighs almost like this. I got a way to tune it with difference of these. Is that lifting? Not really lifting. Okay, so a larger one. Let's see. We have this size. There we go. That's just lifting. It's a little bit more hesitant. Okay, I'm happy with that. This looks pro, for real. — Then there's a discussion that I want to just have. We can record this, actually, Hannes. Let's record and make it for the video. And let's do this then. Remove me. I'm also going to fix the angle a little bit. This looks a bit strange real estate at the top of this image. That will look good. Um so, one idea I really like for this is that the sideways jiggle like can be mitigated with some kind of linear bearing in the front. So, imagine there's something sticking down like this metal rod. Imagine that metal rod rides in a slot like between my fingers. So, the metal rod can only go in and out and not to the sides. Then this pivot point over here doesn't have the burden like on the marching X vibraphone of straightening up the long pivoting arm. But the arm is straightened up here over here. So, imagine I hold my fingers like this. Then the bar can move straight up and down, but it can't wiggle side to side. Um that's I think is That I think is going to be a nice design addition to keep this from moving. That's moving very steadily. Mhm. Nice. I don't like that it jump up and down. I think better these stops should be over here. Um but let's leave it at that and let's get it onto the real thing so we can put some marbles on it. Nice. All right, Chris. Stop. Nice one. Thank you, Martin. Thank you. Uh all right. I have to rearrange Yeah, we can be on this camera. I have to get the table out and do some rearrangement here now, Hannes. Of course. Let's see if we have any questions popping up here. It's been Sorry for that horrible sound. It's Martin noob with a screw gun there. And Martin with a donation and question here that says, "I would love to see spectrogram of this versus real vibraphone. " Do you know what a spectrogram is? I guess that's the audio uh analytics. Mhm. Uh is the spectrogram an equalizer or is it a I'm actually not sure which audio analyzer it is. Mhm. But thank you so much for the question and the donation. So let's watch out what Be careful with the LEGO now. I destroyed it. Wait, [snorts] wait. — You broke the prototype. — I can fix it. Oh, no. It's fixed in 3 2 1. Okay, I repaired it. I bumped it. — All right. — It's au- audio profile, basically. Frequency response. Spectrogram. Yeah. It's the thing that makes waves inside an EQ. Yeah, loudness needs tone. Yeah, the mountain range of frequencies. — Yep. Okay. So, what is the next step now? Take us through it, Martin. I'm going to get this thing onto that thing. Oh, the big prototype with the marble drop. — We're going to get the table out of the way and we're going to get the big prototype and I'm going to save my 1964 vibraphone from being on that old prototype. — Nice. Very good. We love hearing that. RCK is wondering, "Can we use LEGO on the final machine? " Nah. I want to place to aid the design aesthetics. the machine in some kind of age. Either the Renaissance, which I don't think will be so good because I think I want to use like metal gears and stuff. So, perhaps Industrial Revolution or a mix between Renaissance and Industrial Revolution. Perhaps if someone in the 1800s would have built an Renaissance machine. — Lots of LEGO. — And LEGO is not in those um things. Also, it's not very trustable. It was on the first machine, right? The programming wheel. That was LEGO Technic, right? — uh yeah, I have all This is the books from the first machine, actually, with all the programming. — Ah, yeah, yeah. So, where do we put I think I can tuck the table over here, Hannes. — [snorts] — Perfect. The Flexispot table is doing a great job, actually. — Yeah, great workbench. My LEGO drawer. Boom. — So, here's the old main prototype. Almost doesn't fit in the frame. It's a big one. Yeah. Should we go and change the Sony? I can do that. Do you want it more zoomed out? — so. We want to see the whole thing now. Yeah, the large image here. Okay. So, let me switch to another angle and I'll go change. Or should we do a super wide with the wide? I can go and see what I can do with the It's good to have one in the back there. You know what? I changed my mind, actually. And I Okay, yeah, let you do that. That's good because the wide can be semi close-up. But still cap- capture a lot of action. Sometimes I can't talk. — [clears throat] — So, first step is to get I want this off. The old vibraphone here. Because that's not needed anymore. Because we have LEGO. Only problem, though, is that this vibraphone is holding all this together. Uh so what gives? Or can we just Let me see the height. All right. Oh, it goes under there easily. Mhm. I think I need you, Hannes. Absolutely. Uh when I need a helping hand. Of course, you got two. Nice. Just when securing that thing up so it doesn't fall on us. I'll just grab my shoes. Safety sandals. Safety socks doesn't work. It feels kind of good to release the beautiful old vibraphone from this torture as well. That's the wrong bit again. Why is it so I'm missing the correct bit all the time. That's the wrong one. It's the special one that I always have all some hairs. There we go. Okay, what do you want me to do? Just hold it. Hold it down. — Yeah. Look at us being in the same room. — This is great. Hold it like that. Hold it from You don't want to need to lift it, just hold it. Four screws. Then Oh, can you also put one hand on the vi- vibraphone there so it doesn't fall when it comes loose? On this one. Perfect. And final screw, then everything is loose. Nice. I'll take the vibraphone. You take the wood, I take the vibraphone. Yep. Look at that. Planned in the slightest detail. So, now we need uh a couple of more stuff on this so that this — It doesn't fall. Left and right it won't. We just need something like this, right? Probably. A soccer goal. — It's horrible. Horrible soccer goal. All right. Nice. I think I need to add two screws here as well. One screw won't will not do anything. — [snorts] — Feeling like it's been going pretty good so far this stream. We're progressing. I hope so. I hope so. Hope so, hope so. One more screw here. I think you can kind of let it go now. Not yet. Yeah. So, hold it. I'll add another LEGO on your side. — It's so hot in here. It's hot, yeah. Oh. I got used to this. There's no ventilation at all here. Perhaps I should try to get some air in. Still two screws. Add a Add this old thing. There we go. Look at this. So, Hannes will be back reading chat real soon. All the praise for this trustworthy uh thing we're building here. It's so sturdy now. You can all I can't really tip forward, uh either. It stands, right? — It stands. Perfect. I have approved this for safety now. Nice. So, we're being a walking around in a stream. Let's get back to my chair. So, I want to angle this towards the camera like this. Okay, I need Oh, I think a screw here would help. There we go. If we angle it like this, you can see the marble drop here. This is the marble drop that we made a while back. And then we're going to add No, I angled it the wrong way, right? Yes. Should be like that. Oops. Never a doubt. — Yeah. Oh. Ludvig wants me to use I have to think about safety now, yeah. — [snorts] — Um Perhaps on the headphones over them now. — I don't think the headphones will go over. That's the No. But it's pretty good looking one. — Yeah, fashion before safety. Um so let's get some good angles down. We'll get a close-up with this one. We have a I think we have a very big one from behind here now. Dun ta-da dun. I think I need to even more turn this towards audience like this on the side. We want to see the action of the vibraphone bar, don't we? Doo bee doo bee doo boo boo boo boo Not too bad, Hannes. Not too bad. — I would say pretty damn good. I'm thinking if I should just This we can move easily. Perhaps I should just put this on one of the sides. That would be really simple. Hey, I can use that screw. We're in business here. I'm improvising here. What do we have over here? A7 III. It's a little bit unfocused. I can go and fix that. So far moving around a bit. I will just go and fix the focus on camera Very good. Very good. And I might move again soon, but uh Then you can move even more. I think it's already on. Something touching is this one. — [clears throat] — Kind of scary how good I am at this, Hannes. Like when you start to think about it. Together we're pretty good. Look at that focus. Oh my god. — Wow. Now I see two separate donations with uh these kinds of comments here, Martin. First one from Martin. Yes, Martin, it's not healthy to have stale air, especially if you work with fumes and 3D prints. #teamfumeextractor And then Foxy Hunter as well with a donation saying, "Yes, what Martin said. Get moving air. Think of health. " #teamfumeextractor Yeah, so the 3D printers are in a completely different room where there where I never spend time. No, they're pretty far away. That's — I've seen it now for real. Yeah, that's a good that's good with that, but um uh I like your idea of getting Like I will haven't I knew it was really hot in here, but when Hannes came in he was like, "Oh my god. " Too hot to handle in here with these two guys. So um all right, all right. We have the A7 III as a close-up. All these cameras are in the middle of the way, of course. And then we have the wide for the marble drop, perhaps. Mhm. Um Should we try to see if the LEGO vibrato survived me bashing it when I was moving the plate? Mhm. Let's just see if I can get [snorts] that to sound good again. I'm hitting record again here. This seems like a good moment to see if it works. Okay, so I think it's moved positions a little bit here. We should pull it out a little bit, perhaps. Okay, it's really rough. It's funny that it sounds so good, but the implementation is really bad. — Uh which is kind of um a good sign, I think. I actually see the position of this better now. I would like to move the LEGO a little bit. Perhaps I should move this side. Try move this side. What do we think about that? Let's try it. It's too much to the left. Okay. It's not a very exact science, this. That looks better. No. Sorry, we I don't have a good camera for you on this one right now. — Okay. My stupid extension is acting up. As I was suspecting it would. Got a good comment here from 10 Produce 90. I'm more concerned about Martin making bad decisions because of the heat, like getting rid of the vibraphone movement. — Snap. We have to get all these ventilation questions — Okay, and that this was Oh, I know what happened. I used um I used the vibraphone pivot I'm so scared of going to loose screw. I used the vibraphone pivot screw to tighten the I think I need to untighten this a bit. Yes, okay. That was the issue. The pivot screw pulled the vibraphone bar into the LEGO in a bad way. — Um Perfection. — Okay, let's try it then. Perfect. — Perfect. Perfection. Oh, wrong one. There we go. Okay. It's fun because it's really ugly how the it's really ugly, and as I said, still kind of works. The flap moved the dropper. There's some interference. Yep. It's uh it's bumping it around now. Yep. Okay. I can Oh, I think Yeah, there's too little tape here, Hannes. — Too little tape? — Oh, no. I think we need to add some tape again here now. New setting. So ugly, it's beautiful. There we go. — [snorts] — I don't know who of us they're talking about though. — The only thing that would break my heart is if it if they meant the prototype. — Take it, that's my baby. Don't call my baby ugly. I'm annoyed with myself with this um shaft thing though because Now Foxy Hunter says here with a donation, "Tightening the wrong screws cuz of the heat and stale air. " — And this is also Martin with a huge donation, a big one. Martin says, "Yes, it's not matter of far or not even tiny amount of particles particulates are really unhealthy and they don't and they can drift. Yes, I will spend money to argue for health and safety until Martin listens. " I really Did Martin just tell me to ignore everything he said? And he would just keep throwing money at the problem. — Thank you, Martin. No, no, the safe the health and safety is very important. Yeah. And for your sanity, air is as air flow in here is important. I'm only be in here a couple of days and it's it's pretty horrible. Okay. It's been it's worse when it becomes summer. Yeah, and we're getting there. — [snorts] — Uh I hate this extension thing that I made. It's uh It's I knew that would fail and I still did it. In typical me fashion. And Hal says here, "By the way, I genuinely believe this kind of prototyping plus a short document where very simple design requirements are kept is the best way to work on this machine. " I I kind of agree. I think we've been really overdoing the theoretical part especially since I'm so bad at learning it fast. It hasn't returned in its investment yet. And I I agree. — [snorts] — I think I have to bite the bullet and fix this shaft because this is just going to annoy the hell out of me. Okay, I will stop recording. That like Is that a swear word? What? What of them? I'm trying to be family-friendly. I have to learn which one is okay and not. — Marcus on the stream earlier. We already ruined that. Too hot to handle. Okay, let's go back. This is going to annoy me. Okay. Uh let's pull this LEGO off and do it real. The prototype can be shitty, but if it's so shitty that it's that we can't test the function since we want to try with it. It's no use. Hm. I'm going to get a camera for the rebuild of the LEGO thing. Okay, do it. I'll keep a wide one here and I can I think yeah, I can wave to the camera from here at least. And if you want to see me, everyone, where I'm sitting, I'm sitting over here. Hello. Ooh, yeah, it is hot. You know what we should do? We get a We get a studio overview with a wide like this that we had earlier. That's nice because then we can really see how Now there's a lot of cables here. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. You want everything. Yeah, then you got me in there as well. — Exactly. There I am. Hello, everyone. Yeah, that is nice. All right, this is the closest I can get because of the cables. With the A73. We can go to A73. Yes, sorry. I was watching myself. I see. So, this was the culprit the shaft with the flap was too short and I found this much longer one and I didn't have the patience to do it correct and it's it Biting in your behind. — Yeah, big time. Um So, let's make a new flap. That. From duct tape. Why not? Do you know why you get to make these decisions, Martin? Yeah, do you have a camera angle on it? I don't really know. Proto No, I think Martin one of the pics he said will capture it nicely. If we can have over — Yeah, look at this. over here. And I think you can zoom. You think so much. — [sighs] — Nah, it doesn't really work. We don't really see it. While you're taping, I'm going to fix this. Okay, nice. Don't worry. Nice, nice, nice. — Cuz this is important. — Yeah, this is very important. I can tell chat already now, you're never going to hear the end of this. — More zoom. I'm getting there. Okay, who in chat will take it first? Chat, what does this mean? — Martin has just become very entitled because of this. — No, I want to see it again. You again? — Yeah. Oh, no. Let's see. It's going to be I need to have my — Yeah, it's going to go away fast, huh? Uh It doesn't I'm making a new flap here meanwhile. Anyone took it yet? Survival marble energy? No, that's not really it. Uh — [groaning] — Martin has just become became become entitled? Question. Small marble energy? — That And here we go. That's Cyber marble. Yes, did catch this morning stream. Oh my god, best live I've ever watched. So much fun. It was extremely fun. Okay, here we go. Our friend Martin says SME, subject matter expert. Thank you, Martin. So, — You're going to have to tell him again. drawer the college instructor in design requirements um that we had on this Monday who helped me with the organization. I copied over the old shape here. It's in black so you can't see it. I'm just going to cut it. It's Whoa. — Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm wired up. It's doesn't have to be perfect. It's just going to open and close these four valves here. Oh, but this feels good, Hannes. I got really annoyed that I cut tried to cut that corner and it was really not paying off. Yeah. So, Paul asked me like a question about the design requirements and I'm like, "Can I have this? " Martin, you're the SME of this project. You're the subject As the subject matter expert, you're the one to tell us. And I was like, "Wait, that's my Trump card, right? That's my veto against everything, isn't it? " Get out of jail free card. — That's my So, as the prime marble machine constructor in the world, I'm the subject matter expert. So, if someone having a beef with the moving marble from plate, they have to take it up with the subject matter expert. Yeah, I tried to get like 7 minutes to talk to Martin today. He's so busy now. He won't talk to peasants like me anymore. No. He's the king now. He's the expert. Subject matter expert. Yeah. Here we go. Joshua Bridges here with a donation and this comment, "Document lessons learned for future use might help. " Uh I'm guessing that was about the design requirements not hasn't really paid off yet, the investment. Yeah, and also that was Paul said like and it's it is important and Jasper is helping me how I can make the investment pay off. We're talking privately in the evening sometimes. Um and but the truth is also that what Paul said is that well, when you have the machine completely built and you don't have to rebuild it, then it will pay off. So, the design requirement will pay off later in the process, according to Paul. And we have a very generous donation here from Foxy Hunter Martin. Uh they're they're on to you now. About the air quality. — No, I agree. I don't I I've been feeling really tired here. Yeah, I understand it. — I'm fainting like seven to eight times per hour here and like I but then I have this kind of salt that I smell so I can take up from the floor. Then I see some green smoke often afterwards from the ventilator. So, I don't know if that's connected. Could be. Uh so, it's smelling salts. One hell of a drug. It's been rough. — [panting] — Yeah, okay. Tell me what Foxy says. I will join Martin in having a petition to have better air quality for Martin. Uh let's see. We'll call Aloysius O'Hare otherwise. Lorax reference. But think about your health. Lorax. Thank Dr. Seuss. That's sweet. Now I have a paddle. Thank you guys for the generous donations. — Yeah, and thank you for the actually being on You are serious. We take it serious. We need to do something about this. — It's We have a staircase. Actually, you can show it probably in the Sony XDB. XDB. Here, where I'm pointing. It's actually kind of nice air right there. Yeah. And what I think I cannot have it always, but I can put a small little fan out there, which will blow in through this open door. That will help. Yeah. So, I promise to go and buy something like that. Perhaps we should do that Should we do that tomorrow, Hannes? Yeah, we were talking a bit earlier that have some main a little maintenance day for us tomorrow. We have a bunch of stuff to sort out for for the company and for the quality and everything. Uh so, perhaps that would be a great idea while I'm here. Help you with that. Yeah. So, now I'm going to also make my life a bit simpler by not allowing this to move around in here. So, I'm going to fill up the axle. If you go to A Yep, yep. I'm going there. Uh everyone building LEGO Technic know that this is always a bit cumbersome, but if I fill the axle completely, uh the axle won't be able to uh move sideways. So, here we go. My super long paddle. You can kind of see it now, right? Yep. And unfortunately, this was kind of bent. So, I just hope we won't I hope I can straighten it out. You will see it. You see it's really wonky. Anyway, it's going to be way better than what we had before. Oh, but I need to do that through the wood, of course. I'm stupid. Let's remove this and let's get it on to the prototype. Thank you everyone for your patience. Thank you, Martin, for your patience. I mean myself, then. Yeah, of course. So, do we have some close-ups of this or should I move? I perhaps I should move the A73 here now. Yeah. I can do some technician stuff here in the meantime. — Okay. But I will do this for now. No, not the headache cam. Headache cam? Yeah, when you're moving it around. — But let's Okay, now we have the A A73s. There we go. That is nice. That's fine. So, I'll I'll take this long paddle, get it through there into the Oh, it's really hard to Is it a bit too big? What's happening here? Okay, it's a bit too big. I'm going to cut it down a bit. I wasn't fully aware about the air quality until Hannes came, actually. Yeah, it's going here now. Martin, yet again. HEPA filters aren't expensive. Aren't that expensive. They help a lot. And then we have also have Joshua funding for the air quality. We need you to live to 50 so you can go on a world tour. Just kidding. Martin, we love you. Stay healthy. You guys are sweet. Thank you so much. I'm not so I don't I'm not into like trolling the safety trolls at all. I think it's a I want to be healthy. — There's 100% truth to the comments. So, I mean I Yesterday I put uh uh What is rullgardin in English? Oh, it's not drape it's not drape. Drawer curtain. Blackout curtains. I put my third layer blackout curtains to have a completely dark bedroom. So, I have I want to create a nice atmosphere for to be healthy in. So, I think about tho- those things. So, yeah. RCK with a different kind of question here. A lovely super chat with this question. I know this is a bit off topic, but I have to ask. What was your creative process when creating Paradies? I can't help but find references to Bach every [snorts] time I listen to that song. Di di I love that song. That's a very Bach sequence, actually. That's super funny you're mentioning that. I stumbled upon a fun YouTube documentary about Bohemian Rhapsody. And I'm not a super hardcore Freddie Mercury fan at all. But it's of course a very classic uh like crazy song with several parts. Mhm. And when they describe like that uh Freddie Mercury just came in with more and more Galileos. Galileo! Galileo. — Galileo! He came in with more and more Galileos. And that was the Paradies started as a small little idea and it just kept on building. It was on the countryside. I was alone for a summer there. I think that helped. And it just kept on growing and growing and growing. You added a lot of Galileos. And then my secret I My secret dream was always to play guitar in Rage Against the Machine. So, I was like, "Okay, it's in this song I'm going to be Tom Morello. " Uh so, so then I added a completely rage rip-off part at the end. Yep. Okay, that flap is better. Let me see. Look at that. That flap is better. Uh see if we can straighten this shaft out. Probably have to do that when the prototype is on. Okay, that looks a bit better, actually. All right. Let's get the LEGO back on. So, thanks for the question. It it grew and it grew and it grew uh by itself um uh basically. It is a masterpiece. Let's just say how it is. Ah, that's sweet. It's perfect to end any concert. The concert feels done when we when we hit that last chord. Yeah. — Paradies the rage outro. Yeah. Yeah, Marcus was here playing drums actually in the stream this morning, improvised. I borrowed some equipment from him to make the streams better. And So much fun. And that was The reminder of the dream of a world tour. Yep. Okay, we have the thing in. Now I just have to attach three more LEGO parts on the back here. And I just dropped one of them. — Uh so, let's use this instead. And we'll be back in business. I don't have a good camera here, everyone. I'm sorry for that. We have a very beautiful image there. That is very beautiful. — You just have to trust me that I'm doing work on the backside of the plywood currently. Put a LEGO beam on the front so you can fix the location from the front. Ooh, my meanplex. My meanplex coming in clutch again. Wait, I have to do that now, then. That's a great comment. I'll put it up there. Because then I can use tape. You just saved me perfect in time. So, if we do this on this side, we can just move it around like this and we get better control. Oh, my meanplex is on on the money again. Oh, no. Floor LEGO. Uh-oh. Yes. Do you like It feels like you don't like Queen that much, Hannes. It's a sensitive subject perhaps for for some, but subject. I think Queen is um For some generations, it's like I think they you know, they had They fell in love for the first time to Queen, know, like Yeah, yeah, I They were like They were a gateway drug to when you wanted to like highbrow music. Yeah. For me it was I need to love Queen and then I was like, I don't love Queen. Really. Yeah. But I appreciate Queen. They're talented. Freddy Mercury, I mean not that many great better singers than that guy. And I love Brian May. He's badass. Is that a guitar player? — Yes. That hair, you don't joke that away. — And then they made this the I mean the soundtrack for Flash Gordon and also Highlander. I mean they got some banger songs out there. All right. Um I think it was um It was super cool to hear Freddy Mercury's vocal takes for Bohemian Rhapsody solo. Mhm. And I was like, yeah. There was another level of talent before computers and digital editing. Yeah. It's it's just another level of crazy musicianship. But speaking of Queen, one of the best concerts ever is the Freddy Mercury tribute concert. Have you seen that, Martin? Uh — After he died and they put together the world's greatest male musicians on Wembley. You have like artists like Metallica was there. Then you have Elton John and Axl Rose doing Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh, nice. — That is a quiet epic performance, I have to say. This seems to be working much better already. And now we can control The vibrato is worse because of my ugly flaps. But now I can tape the this to good position. More tape. Yeah, it's a little annoying that it moves. There. Stick on a longer beam so you have more room for your hands. Adding to the comment. Longer beam. I think that works. Ooh. Perfect. Okay. I think I'm going to hit record here now. Good to recap this part, Martin. Yeah. We should record more of the process as well. So just not when everything is done because done is but yeah. Yes, yes. That's the new part for us. I don't think there is any difference last from last when we recorded. Um So But you had an idea. What should I say? I I'm just worried that we don't have any content. Yeah, okay. I see. Oh, I see. It's really hard to have your mind at those summary videos. Yeah. Thinking of the future. We butchered them so hard. I'm so into the buildings and then we have to think about those as well. Um It's annoying that it's moves, though. But — Can you pull the focus a bit? If I pull it Yeah, I will very soon. There. Just trying to manipulate the position a little bit. Yeah, that's good. Soon there will be content for the recap, Hannes. I will hit stop then. Okay, we can record now. now then. All right, I think this is working good now. The flap is in there and it goes pretty freely. Enough good for the prototype. So now let's see if we can hit this with a marble. Oh, it's marble time. Marble time, everybody. Get the kids. Marble — Come on, marbles are going to be dropped. Marble drop time at least. I don't know which angle I which angle we need here. I'm going to get you an angle. Wide? No, wide is over there. Yeah, I know. All right. The A73 is too close. We want [snorts] like I'll get wide for you. For sure? Yep. Okay. I saw here from Rye Bread Bird Pig. I saw you guys at Emmaboda a decade ago now. Have been following the project since the first video. Love all the beauty you're bringing to the world, Martin. Super inspiring to see. Oh, that's great. Emmaboda is Emmaboda festival music festival has such a dear place in my heart. It was I have to say one of the biggest music experiences of my life was with my first band. Yeah. When we were going to play Emmaboda and we were completely new. We had released one EP uh on Pirate Bay. Ooh, trailblazers. We didn't release it on Pirate Bay. Uh people took We sold the CD on the street playing on the street. On a CD. Uh that's called a compact disc for everyone watching here. It was an old silvery disc that was spinning Oh my goodness. with digital ones and zeros. Anyway. So we had like five songs on this. No record deal, nothing. And I always released music on my own label. So but I'm going to move the marble drop here over to this side. Oh, that's why you did the focus there. Yeah. Okay, I will redo it. No, it will it's good for now when I take it off here. Or I don't even know if I thought about the focus. It's fine. Anyway. We were playing on the street selling home burnt CDRs. So at home we burnt our CDs ourself and sold them on the street. And then we come to this festival. 2,000 people in the crowd. And we had no clue if anyone would turn up. 2,000 people turned up and they sang every song. And we played instrumental. And they were like before the concert, the whole audience were going like when you clap in front of a rock concert like this, the whole audience. But they did So there was a rock clap in waltz tempo which like I never heard before. And I was like — Bob Hund was like playing after us and like the singer of Berryman Rock, I think, was like complimenting. I remember because I love Bob Hund. And he came up to me and he was like, the audience understands what you're doing. They got They understand your thing, he said. It was such a beautiful compliment from him. And I was so starstruck. It was midnight, moon, full moon and I just like I just made it. It was fantastic. — [clears throat] — Then I decided to stay in a cave and try to build a marble machine for 10 years. — But if this audience could clap, Martin, it would be in waltz tempo. — Nice. I'm sure of it. Okay, now we have to start to direct the marble here to hit this plate. But this is going to hurt so hard. And I need something soft on top of the vibe foam bar. I was joking before to use my sole from my shoe. But perhaps that's just the best option here. — That is what's going to happen. I think that's also good for the stream. Uh we can also use perhaps a towel. Perhaps that's While we're aiming the marble, perhaps a towel will suffice for dampening. Then I think we played Emmaboda two times more. Tape. Tape is a great option. Tape and fabric. Cuz now we don't want to think about it's not going to be the sound that's seem right now. Just now I just want to hit the plate. Yeah. Tape and paper. So Martin, if you're still here, what would a HEPA filter do? Is this just a Do you mean like a particle filter? And where do you put it? You buy a whole like air cleaner thing. Yeah. Cuz it sounds great, HEPA filter, but how do you Where do you put the filter? — you Over your mouth? In a machine? Oh, perhaps that works. Also give a sound. Wow. Good, I missed it from there. Okay. Oops. Do we have a good cameras for this? We see the drop, but we don't see the Would be cool if we could also see the hit from this angle. — close. Can I just go and fix that a little bit? We can see it even hitting the bar over there. Move the vibe back, right? Yeah. I think we're very close there, I'm While you do that, we got a very philosophical question here from Karmacraft. Asks Martin, you ever wonder how much money you left on the road for being in the cave instead of having a classic music career? I think that's a lot. A lot, I think. A lot. Yep. But I was never driven by that, actually. I've been never been interested in in that as a It's a more a means to a mean. If I can do whatever I want, that's the situation I want to be in. Yes. All right. We're getting there, Hannes. What marble did I take? 30. Okay, this is going to be interesting if the 25 is going to be enough. It's way better for the machine if 25 is enough. That's better, much better. We can move it up a bit if you want to see even more. I can even a little bit more of the drop. — I can do this. There, right? Yeah, that is good. Is it sharp enough? It looks like it, right? I hope so. Okay, and we're recording as well, Martin. This is a big moment. Nice. I think I need to go a little bit towards me, so I pull this a little bit out. And then I'm going to soon lock it down. A little bit to here. Small changes, no bowing. Okay, a bit more. I think it's hitting here. I want to hit there. So this adjustable marble drop feels like it's delivering right now. A little bit more. Let's lock it down. Oh, I completely moved it with the screw gun. I think in a way I feel when Marcus was here today that music is a bit more social. Yeah. What I can be a little bit sad about is I mean, you and I have had a lot of fun together. You've been with me in this, but I think I've been It's been more of like chronically online and less be out meeting people Mhm. uh doing the marble machine project. That's Ooh, that looks perfect. That could be And I think it suits me to have a social to like output like by making videos and stuff. Yeah. It's a social act interaction I can control, you know? Yeah. And it's much more messy act being out meeting real people. I like that I don't have a problem with that, but I feel playing music, playing with other musicians, like perhaps collaborating, all that. It's That's that has been But I've been so fulfilled with this idea. Okay. I would never done it any other way, Hannes. Yeah, I know. But before you start dropping marbles, should you put a marble collector somewhere? — Ooh, that's going to hit. Nice. Um Absolutely. We have a LEGO box here. — Yeah. It's going to be the marble collector. Yeah, I mean, the marbles will never get lost in there. No. That is true. All right. Hey, this is exciting. Try to make the first note with vibrato. Or without? No, with, of course. — Vib Vib Vib. No longer working. Why are my prototypes looking like a child built them, Hannes? Are you ready? Yep. Are we ready? — Where's the marble? It What? Okay, we were hitting I want to hit — On the tape, right? We were hitting a bit high up, yeah. — Yeah. Boom boom boom. And the tape is making the sound much worse, as you heard. I think we should get the A73 down next like a flat position. I I can do it because I can do it. Okay, so lower the You have to lower the whole stand. Yeah, yeah, I can do that. Put it in a in a Yeah, you know, like exactly flat. So we can see the bar moving in the video from the side, completely from the side. Dip dip dip dip. Okay, I'll try one more, Hannes. Without the vibrator. Cover your ears. Yeah, the tape makes it horrible. But it is moving. Okay, I'm going to tune it a little bit this way. And also like nostalgia was way better before. No, I think I like gratitude is — Classic. Gratitude for not being sick, being actually able to play around like this. I feel that's what I try to foster inside myself, but I'm also a dreamer, so I'm always I'm never happy with the with what I'm I always want to move forward, you know? There we go. Hannes is nailing the angle here. And we're going to see soon try with the angle from the side. I'm going to have a sip of water enjoying this moment. My ugly prototypes. I don't really see on that. Let's switch it over to just take a look at it. Yeah, it's much easier when you It's good. Good enough? There, right? With a bit higher, a little more tilted? No, it's good. Looks good. — Okay, I'm going to check the monitors to see what kind of movement we have. Dropping in 3 2 1. I don't know how much That was 25 mm. So Let's try 30. Same settings, 30 mm. Oh, it's That really moves. Way too much. That's good news, then, if the 25 can do it. I don't like the I want it to move a bit slower. Perhaps we need to do more Hm. Okay, I'm going to increase the counterweight. See if it's because it's really Yeah, the counterweight is too weak. All right. Okay. Is that enough for the Now the video part? — Let's leave it running now. Okay, let's leave it running. You can uh work. Yep. I think it's good now because now it's some experimentation with the counterweight. Dip dip dip I got a follow-up for the HEPA filters. Okay, nice. From Martin. HEPA is filter for particulates. You put it near the air outlet nearest you, so the air you breathe is forced to pass through it. It's often paired with a CO sensor put nearby. You can buy prefabricated HEPA block and 3D print a fit to go over a hose or forced circulation fan, for example. — Yeah, so I don't have a single air inlet in this room. — No. — You plugged it. So, where do I Because all the cigarette smoke was coming in through that one, so then that was worse. So, then it's a question how I do with that. But that's great information, Martin. I'm going to talk to my landlord. Ludvig. — Ludvig. — I'll go see what we can do. Okay, Hannes, increased counterweight. Let Let me one second. I will remove the the the method. — Thank you, Martin, for the information. I have to look into that. So, 25 mm, the smaller one, increased counterweight in 3 2 1. — There went the counterweight. I have to um — I have to make better weights adjustment system, I guess. HEPA would filter out cigarette and other crap, too. Oh, that's nice. Okay, now it's hanging a little bit better. It was still like the marble was really lifting and pushing the whole thing down. Uh it's still a bit too violent, so I want it to struggle a bit more to push it down. This is actually good news. Uh once more, 25 mm, no vibrato. Ooh. Uh I didn't I forgot to watch the video. The monitor. Let's Let me see that again. Did you like that, Hannes? I like that. I want to see a little bit from the drop here. Let's go to Okay, let's go to this one. Okay, we can take a few of those, as well. 25 mm. It's not bad. — All right, it's pretty good. — I'm just looking at the movement here. I don't like this rebound that it's going up and forth. As I said before, these stops needs to be over here. Um to mitigate that. You Take one here, then. We're recording. We are recording. It's red here. — So, 25 mm. Hm. It's kind of a lot of volume, as well. Let's listen with a horrible Lego sound. Hm? I wonder if I can tape the paper on the node, so so this um up here we won't kill the vibrato. So, I'm going to make the a little tape paper thing. Um I'm going to see if we can hang it down from the node. How says, "To me, it sounds like the marbles are too large and create a very sharp sound. " Yeah, the sound is not correct now, because I'm using paper. And you don't have your silicone wedge. — I'm going to have a silicone wedge that I don't I couldn't find before the stream. Yeah. We're going to look for it. I can add some more tape to this paper, but my idea here was that to get a little bit of better sound, we're only going to hang it down from this node up here. Like that, because that should leave more of the vibrations on. Jimmy is wondering here, in caps, "What are you testing for? " Yeah, that's a good question. I want to see the movement. I want to see I want to I want I'm testing for actually a lot of things. I'm not isolating a single little thing. I could tell you I'm testing This has been a discussion to define the problem. I'm feeling it out. Uh and that's part of my process. Um I'm trying to get a feeling for how much a 25 mm marble can move this assembly with all the weight on and stuff like that. I'm trying to feel out if this vibrato looked great sounded great, which it did. And it's kind of setting me up for the next iteration of this prototype. I know it's not a satisfying answer I should be it should be, but I'm feeling it out. — That's better sound, though. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was of course because it fell off. Um Let's Let me fix it like this. I'm going to give you the 30-minute warning now, Martin. — I'm going to try to answer Jimmy's question a bit better. I'm The truth is that I'm testing like a lot of stuff, and that's of course not the most optimal in the in a theoretical design process. But I am seeing at all if the moving plates with a steady vibrating shaft is possible. That's probably what I'm testing. That's not a really good question, but Okay, let's try. New dampener should have a little bit of sound now. Yes. Hm. Let's see the movement. Stay on this camera. Yep. Now the sound is great. — When the thing falls off. — The paper is off. What about the movement? It moves pretty much on it. Yeah. I wonder if we should uh have it move even slower, actually. Beautiful. Yeah. Very beautiful. Let me try with 30 mm marble. I need my some other thing that I want to try on this prototype is a dampeners. If they can be programmable, how they feel to put them on, how it would feel with a dampener uh that stops the movement. Like I have a lot of It's It's um It's a test lab for a lot of upcoming stuff. Um But we've been discussing a lot that I should define my questions a lot. And so, I think Jimmy is It's a valid point. Do we exactly know what we're testing? I'm basically new how I wanted to build this prototype. And then So, I realized I don't have a great answer, but I probably have if I would sit down. I given myself some freedom to do some stream. Uh it's not a test, it's a study, as Carl Kraft says. Um because I get stuck in this theoretical process. Jasper is helping me privately in the evenings. So, I'm not abandoning it, but sometimes I go back to my old ways and move push the projects forward simultaneously like that. Um I think one of the most important test that we already noticed this morning is that this um slot in the resonator pipe didn't make the resonator worse. We just had to tune it differently. That was really good information. The resonator works perfect. Um I think this means I just wanted to say it's all systems go for the moving of the vibrum plate. I said That's what I tested. Can I have a good resonator sound with the vibrato while the plates are moving with the idea of having the shaft still with a and the tube moving with the vibrum bar. So, this is the first time Which camera am I in? There. — You're in that one. — So, this is the first time I've ever had the resonator moving with the bar. And I think that's what I wanted to test. So, it's actually took me way too long to answer that good question from you, Jimmy. Uh Jasper is going to help me make sure I have that answer more handy for you on the next prototype. — And Jimmy is back here now with a donation, as well. He says, "Now let's see from 50 m away. " — Okay, um Okay. That was the big — Uh we — can't see the movement here but it's close. — I can move that camera a little bit if you want to try. We want to do we want to try? And also a great thing. Oh, you know what we should try? So far I've been trying 25 mm marble and 30. Let's just try 22 mm marble. For fun. See if we get any sound from that. Oh, that's a miss hit actually. With vibrato. That works but Yeah, that works too. 22 mm also work. I think 25 is the sweet spot for the vibraphone. Let's see if we can see some movement. It's not 50 m, it's 6 m away. — 6 m away with 20 Yeah, but it's not the same with your eyes and your like do a test. We can do a test and then maybe you can go over on us. Yeah. First back in the green screen room and see if you see it with your eyes. Okay. Okay, I'll do a test here. I [bell] saw it. Can you go and see with your eyes? Absolutely. But we want to stay on this one? You can you can take the same XT Yeah, take that one. And then you count your steps from here. Big steps and count them. This is very scientific Jimmy. 1 2 3 Those are steps. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 Can you see the vibraphone bar? Yes, perfectly actually. Perfectly. With or without with vibrato then Hannes. 25 mm. Perfect. Did you see it move? I did. He saw it move. I don't know if Hannes feel obliged to cover my back here now. Or if he would be honest. — I am honest. You're honest? I saw it move. So perhaps we should rein this stream in by actually answering Jimmy's question and go spontaneously into some noting down the first cuz I did get a lot of information from this but the truth is I don't want to take too much let's go to A73 Hannes. away from this because it's not until I have the real rubber on top of here that I really know what size marble I need. And I think the rubber is also going to make the movement different. So I think I need to find that rubber wedge and start to work with the dynamic. So the next things I want to try is the dynamic if we can get good sound with different volumes. The dampener over here um from here that is going to be activated by the same channel if I can and So this is like a test bench for the entire vibraphone. And the reason I'm doing the vibraphone So this could be good actually. I can do it here. This is good for the video Hannes. uh Are we rolling? Yes, we're rolling. So the reason I'm trying this vibraphone is I want to make the CAD version better of the entire marble machine and I think the vibraphone is the proper place to make the CAD better. uh So that's where I want to start. On the first machines I started with the gears. This time I'm starting with the hardest one of them all, the vibraphone and this is very promising right now. That was succinct, wasn't it? — Yeah. — You can do it when you try. works too. So yeah, let's um hmm I need to stop now on the record. It's been going quite a long. Where do we go from here? I feel next steps need some planning actually. um Whoa, sorry for that if you heard that. Huge static. uh Should we go to the sketch cam perhaps? I don't mind if I do, sir. — Oh, wow. All right. hmm — [music and bell] — A little backwards music box there. You know how good you are at this? — It's like when I was like clearing the pool table and my friend Jared said you ruin it with your smug smile Martin. — Okay. — I got a question here from a statement from my mean Plex that a lot of people are echoing in the chat here. I think all problems associated with the moving plates can be fixed. The biggest issue with the moving plates is time needed to fix those problems and the associated parts count and downward complexity. Oh. Now yeah, now wow, that's a completely new take. I hmm I think I just solved it with some plywood tape and some Lego parts. That's I think I think um Often I think when there's argument between me and chat, I think chat makes their own problem definition a bit and they solve that. And it's not always like the problem I'm solving. I'm learning a lot from you. So I'm not discarding the the point. um uh I don't know. I don't I don't see it that way actually. I see it as I think we have to go back to the anime music video kind of. That's like what I always like in my in my The reason I wanted to build this project was the anime music video. hmm — And in the anime music video the plates moves. Yeah, but I think perhaps the more the sentiment more with this comment is like is it worth spending the amount of time getting them are they that crucial? — I think it Is it worth spending more time discussing this in chat is my — Oh, we getting salty are we? Oh, who put that there? — I love you everyone for being here but I think we're wasting time like I heard all the arguments like I'm going to try this and I just made it work really well spending spending quite a little bit of time on it here. um Yeah. uh I think it's it's on my There is a psychological There should be a camera on me somewhere here. You got this one. — There's a psychological thing in Swedish called värderad riktning which is like even if you don't not there in your life yet like where do you want to go? And it's like so ingrained in me this anime music inspiration for this machine. So I'm driven by like inspiration. I It's an artistic inspiration thing. It's like I Someone wrote like this is a sign requirements things Martin is going to Martin knows what he wants and he's going to do it anyway. That's basically the situation over here. But then I'm going to have rigor on my high flying artistic stupid ideas. We're going to add theoretical rigor on top of them. I'm not killing this thing when I see with my own eyes that it works uh pretty simply. I think like uh It go It does go against what you and I have been talking a lot about to do to take the less ambitious path at all T-cross junctions. It goes against that. I absolutely admit that. And I admit there's 10 negatives. It's just that the positive I I I think for a lot of people in chat, the positives are not so apparent as it's as it is in my stomach. So, I think that's why this discussion becomes perhaps not so fruitful because it's we're not talking about the same thing, really. Um Corn Craft here, I'm a converted team jiggly. Will depend a bit on how rigorous Martin is going to be on planning and execution. I think also like this is this has this is turning into much bigger like pinpoint decision of the machine than it needs to be. I'll try to come fast to the point where I where I'll see that it's failing. I tried to do that with this prototype. Unfortunately, it's has it's not failing fast. Unfortunately for team static, seems like this is very doable with this idea that came up with some days ago with the moving tubes. Um I was thinking I can actually let you in a little bit into how — when I had Whoa, Jesus. I just got attacked by my own chair. When I had a meter long tube, perhaps someone can tell me. Do you know when you hold the stick like this like this? I move it back and forth, you need a lot of force. I think that's just moment of inertia. It even though this doesn't weigh anything, for me to jiggle it like this took a long a lot of force. And I thought that the longer resonator would be really hard to pivot for the little small marble. And I saw today on this on A I can actually show on the MIDI keyboard, Hannes. The note we have been prototyping with today, if it's this one, can you hit the bar? Yes. I think it's this one. Or Yeah, Yeah, that one. So, the vibraphone register starts here at F. And this A is in the middle. And then it goes all the way up here. So, as you can see, this note is pretty low on the Am I correcting this? Yeah. So, this is the full — That's the full register of the vibraphone. And as you can see, this is even above middle, which means that all these resonators are shorter than the one we're trying. This was really easy to move. They go exponentially longer here. I think this A or this one is kind of twice the length of this one. This is only like 18 cm, but I think this one is close to 35 or something. Um So, what I want to say with that is that if we go back to me, is that the worry I had about waving a long bar around, that was one thing that I tested today, and uh this prototype calmed my worries. So, I think we should We're having such a nice time here. I think we should find some kind of truce between me and chat about the movement issue. Uh because I think it's has been it's has been discussed a little bit. I feel — As the subject matter expert, I feel it's I feel we have Your feedback has been fantastic. I'm taking it in. I'm internalizing it. But it's not I think I don't know. You want to take my feedback a little bit? Let's good scoot your chair over there. Thank you. Especially for our 916 viewers. — But I wanted to sketch some thoughts down from this prototype. — Okay, perfect. — Uh so, let's go to sketch. Oh, we're in 916. It's okay there, yeah. — Yeah. Uh so, just some random thoughts here is that uh 25 mm was good, which is great news. Uh 30 would cost much more energy to lift. So, I was thinking perhaps we need 30. 25 sounds good, but we have to double-check with the wedge. Next step is to um And this is actually a harder problem, which is a problem that we would have with and without the movement, is to check the dynamics. Um With wedge? Um I think with wedge there's other ways of doing that, but I that's what I think. Uh check dampener. I would like to try a little bit with the dampeners. Um Sideways guide. Um I would like the movement I can't write. Guide. Um This rebound movement, more controlled movement, uh movement control. It's like flaring all over the place. I would like this and music ding ding. I know exactly how I want it to look. Movement control. So, this is a rabbit hole that Paul over would tell me to not go too far in. But uh if I can get good information about this, I can actually move to the CAD design and start cutting out the first instrument of this machine, which I think would be fantastic. Uh movement control rebound jiggle. I think that is about moving the stops stop points to further out. Like when we have a pivot here and I'm stopping it here, there's a lot of flex here. But if we're stopping it at the very point, there's nothing that can flex. Um So, I think these are the next points, kind of. Is chat accepting my truce, Hannes? I feel like it. I feel like they they're actually accepting the truce. Because I think you I think as I said, I've never been blind to the great arguments against the movement, and I I agree about every single one of them. And oh, actually Jasper and I had this idea about this 50 m away. The movement, the requirement, I can actually change the requirement to movement uh must be visible on a close camera angle. I think that will uh uh answer some of this 50 m away thing. I am actually most important that the camera angle can capture the movement. I think it's a I think I would I'm going to prepare something here, Hannes. I like this here. Jimmy says, "We're thinking too much. He's dreaming too much. Somewhere in the middle we can meet, right? " I'm going to take up a video that I think I have Yeah, you can prepare that. And while you do that, Martin, I want to say a huge thank you to all the new backers that are joining us. The last 24 hours we got 17 new backers. That is pretty amazing. I hear something amazing in the background as well. I don't know if this goes out on stream if I can do both corners. So, thank you all for supporting us through YouTube memberships, Patreon, and Twitch subscriptions. — There we have my There we have me. — So, it's this is a great place to end this fantastic day, actually. Look at those little drums. They're all depressed. Team depression. Um Even the little holders for the strings are jiggling. All right, but that's actually not the thing, okay. So, I see carousel. — I never saw this. The little hi-hat arm here is actually bending. It's even bending down here. Oh, I need to take a hacksaw home. I set an alarm home to cut my curtain to correct length here. — Great. So, this little arm here. Check this arm of the hi-hat, Hannes. The whole thing is bending. Mhm. So cool. — Okay. Yes. — Check this wiper phone plate. Oh Oh, no. They're also lights up. So, the LED people will have a field day with this. There we go. Team depression for life. — Check our 916. It's finally beautiful. Yeah. Um So, this is that sealed the faith of my life. This video. And the fact that the creator is actually commented on my carousel video it makes me so happy. But, anyway. It's time for us to start wrapping up here, Martin, today. So, we It's time for us to start wrapping up here. — Yeah. I just feel Okay, I'm going to tell you something. I had a woodworker idol on YouTube that I started watching. I sent my idea to him to build a mar machine to build pipe dreams out of plywood. And he said, "I don't think you'll manage. I think that's too hard. I think it's impossible. " Kind of something. And I was like, I respect this guy so much. was so motivated to try, you know. — And the moment like it's just I just feel the I So something in my brain it's like lit on It started to tingle. From And when I had that feeling, Marcus gave a speech earlier today like, "Yeah, I never really understood Martin's methods. And I've been thinking like, 'Oh, is that really going to work? '" And every time during Every time he proved to be right in the end. I think when I had that feeling, I had some kind of intuitive feeling that this is correct. The moving of the plate is something I feel very strongly about like that. So, it's it's We've written down the pros and cons. There's 10 against and one for. It's just that this one for is the same thing that makes me want to do this project. So, there you go. There we go. — It's the pipe dream. And today with the prototype we got much closer. Is This thing is like so closer to the pipe dream beauty that I've ever been. Yeah, so I'm very happy actually. And chat, don't take me wrong. I feel stupid for not finishing this machine. So, I'm I am on my defensive side. I'm not sure I can make it. It's super scary to be on year nine in a super embarrassing project. So, I am a bit going sometime into too much defensive moping mode. I'll work on that. I promise. And I'm just so like happy to have everyone's feedback. Yeah. Uh yeah. That's fantastic. I would like you, Martin, Yeah. to play us off today. Nice. Any requests? Whatever floats your boat. — Okay, I'm You can think of it while I just say thank you to all these wonderful backers that are supporting us. All the 1,189 of you that are supporting us on this marvelous adventure. So awesome to have you guys with us on this journey. And I feel like today has been a very good day. We have One of the most important things in our company this year moving forward is to have a lot of fun as well. And today I think we had a we had really tons of fun with having Marcus on the stream as well earlier today. Seeing his wonderful and beautiful face on stream, it was fantastic. And Martin did a lot of great progress on the prototype as well. So, yeah, today was a huge success. I want to thank you, Martin, for this day. It was awesome. — [snorts] — I have a Hans Zimmer thing queued up for you here. Okay. — Thank you, Hannes. So, you know what? Let's uh Let's head home. And of course, thanks to everyone that are watching these live streams. You guys you are the best. — Look at that prototype and tell me that doesn't look fantastic. Did amazing work today, Martin. — The paddle. Oh. I think it's working. It's going. Mhm. I saw you do that. — Do so. They're about to communicate with her. — I can do it for you though. —
