how to seeme in 3-D

A LONG DISTANCE PROJECTION

The wafer thin tweeter got recruited for another
round of experiments, as follows.






















Very carefully placed.
You can seen the angle of the
wafer thin tweeter with regards to the
TV in line with the open patio door. The photos
were hard to get, very little manouvering room within
which to fit the body in trying to get good framed pictures.


In this series of experiments
the wafer thin tweeter is mounted inside
the center of a geometric mobile made of three folded
cutouts of stiff art paper. The tweeter's leads were hooked to channel
3, the very end of the FM dial of the getto blaster's FM, which
happened to be the sound broadcast of Channel 3 on TV.
In a position between the TV in the living room
corner, and the open patio door, sound at
normal listening volume was able to
carry out the door and across
the park to a neighbor's
fence over 120 paces
away. Incredible
long distance
carrying.

The experiments
ended all to soon due
to the inability to keep the
wafer thin tweeter working due to its
loose wire and tendency to stall in the midst of
impact vibrations in the sound stream. This was a very good
sound, stereo of course, and reasonably fidelic, the
volume of the wafer thin tweeter carefully
controlled by the volume gain on one
of the getto blaster's channels.
Both the TV broadcast and
same on FM, were in
mono, yet stereo
long distance
resulted.


Through the gate
and across the park to
the neighbor's fence is 120 paces.







I got the
next door neighbor
to come out into the park to
affirm my purposes. She didn't quite catch
on to the nature of the experiment or its unusual long
distancing but agreed, as we both stood in the middle of the
park staring back into the open patio door into the dark livingroom
with its look of a science fiction movie, that yes you could
certainly hear the TV and there was no drop in volume
from the gate at the fence to more than half way
across the park. Good enough for me.
Purposes affirmed. I had
a witness.


Incicdentally
one afternoon there was
one of those brief deluges that
pours a bathtub of water straight down
with water swirling thick everywhere trying to
vortex down street drains. In the drop just beyond the
gate, about six feet out, is a drain cover about 3 feet across
it both drains the field slightly upsloping to the left and is also
access into sewers below with a ladder down a shaft about 20
feet. The deluge was so dense that water started
shooting up the manhole like a geyser. In
spouts that shot more than a dozen
feet in the air water pouring
in from the field was being
overpowered by air pressure
shooting up from the sewer. I
did not have film for the camera
and the show was over within five minutes.

PS

The paper
mobiles didn't exactly
work. It was summer and the middle
of summer's dog days. Long steamy nights with
high humidity, the mobiles melted so to speak, kept getting
soft and warping slightly out of shape. Since the art
paper was like blotting paper its fibres
eventually loosened up to where
the mobiles could no longer
support their shape or
structure, so all
were folded up
and put away.
Alas.


Regards
aforementioned
problems with quality of
print making at cheap photo lab services,
the color of the living room walls is a light almost white
buff brown and the carpet is light brown. The photos are green. Scary work.

SPINNING DISK MOBILE

This ran
for two years
a giant starflake
strung inside an art paper
cutout and mounted on the second hand
driver of an old Westclock wall clock, turning thus
slowly minute by minute month by month it helped improve the
overall stereo and mono sonic of the TV, until a gust of wind in through
the open patio door knocked it flying the giant starflake
shattered in pieces. The starflake was later
ressurrected, re-pieced together with
crazy glue and straight pins in
cardboard to stretch apart
its wires for gluing back in
shape to be used anew in the tests
that finally led to 'The Jaw Dropping Demo'.
The actual point of this long remark is where there's
a will there's a way. Money is outside the objective and goals.
Most to the point, these are the best photos I've got
of the 'Spinning Disk Mobile'.

ANOTHER PHOTO

















You might be
wondering why such poor
seeming photos are being shown at all.
It is because they still reveal information. Taken with
a range of cheap 110 mm cameras costing in the range of $2.00 each
using Kodak 200G films on sale (occasionally Fiji or something else but it
was these foreigns that produced most bluish/purple pictures), and
developed at bargain photo offers for instance Shopper's
Drug Mart a lot cheaper than Japanese Camera which
produced the best prints and I knew this but
did not have the money to pay for the best
in other words this whole project over a
5 year period was funded with no money
that's right no money for research no
grants no rewards everything done
by the lowest price was the law.
First camera was a $29 Le'Clic
got from K-Mart for $29
and did it ever produce
good pictures its lens was
particularly good but one
day this 110 mm camera simply
stopped working its rachet would
no longer advance the film I took it to a
camera store and a jeweller hoping for repair and both
said what you do with cameras like this is throw it out and buy another
when they break the only problem was there were no others to buy
and attempt to take it apart myself come to an end when the
part I needed to get in to to try and fix the ratchet
was sealed behind molded plastic in its cheap fast
manufacture. Alas the good camera was no more.
Woe, others I could find were always faulty
but I used them anyway because I needed a
record of experiments and tests. A good
110 mm camera, the cheapest, cost new
more than a week to 2 weeks grocery
money. This is what life can be like
when you work hard creatively
but no one pays, so you are
always very poor. The best
word is pauper. But, look
at what got done despite
the no-budget research.
The whole project started
with the single big purchase
of a Fisher 8400 Getto Blaster on
sale for $369 Canada paid for by the coins
coming in daily from vending sweet corner on a parking
lot stall the blaster sounding good in the large warehouse style
outlet selling it the blaster sounding god aweful when carted home and
hooked up then turned on in the low rental condo. Being unrefundable
there was nothing left to do but try and curb the machine's
maniacal shrill at normal listening volume, the purpose
of buying in the first place to provide background
music during long nights working on software
hoping to come up with something saleable
enough to make a steady income. 1 thing
led to another in the emergency to
curb the blaster's noise, soon it
was any six sided object including
large hexagon ring nuts used by plumbers.
With a few days at the start the speaker boxes
were festooned with brushes taped to them all over the
boxes in observing that brushes any found anywhere in the condo
cooled the hot sounds a bit but within days it was found that anything
of hexagonal shape including tire lug nuts worked better. There
was no camera at this time so no photos were ever taken
of the starting days, mainly since at the start it
was not known that this emergency saga to cool
the blaster's intolerable sound would lead
to a 3 and 1/2 research extending over
a five year period, ending with the
Glen Miller orchestra recreated
in the living room in FULL
breathing pulsing hanging
stereo using a 10 inch
driver and 8 inch car
stereo oval speaker
wired in mono in
series. This is
the test called
'The Jaw Dropping Demo'.


As already said,
the spinning giant starflake
lasted for over a year until a chance
gust of wind through the open patio door took it out.
The same corner was later used for experiments (described elsewhere)
involving a 12 inch woofer hung from a laboratory
stand by a thick elastic band.
