    This was unironically a really cool way to make really grainy textures for songs. It can be grating but I kept hearing patterns in the chaos of the spinning. To Rob's and Mattias' point, this instrument won't replace any given guitar you're already playing. But it IS a way to make textures for live performances, you could use this in concert with a rhythm and lead instead. You might say that this is a pain-in-the-butt way of doing this but I might retort that is a tenet of making weird music!

      As an electronics engineer myself, it isn't hard.
      More or less all motor drivers have configurable drive currents. Ie, how much holding torque they should have.
      So if one wants to "overclock" the holding torque, it is a simple configuration away. Oftentimes it is as simple as flipping a switch or two.
      Downside is that if one increases it enough, the motor burns up.

    It is interesting because the speed of the rotation and number of strings hit each rotation ends up giving you your tremolo effect rate and the visual that you get as a viewer is at that tempo as well. The drummer ends up going to that feeling naturally once it starts and you can almost start to see the guitar neck almost grooving itself to the beat if you watch the end of "headstock".

    What would greatly improve this design would be to have a rod on the back that has a hand rest on it. The hand rest can slide up and down the neck of the guitar without touching it, allowing for the user to securely hold this thing without putting the strings out of tune.

I can't say it will become mainstream by any means, but the idea AND the execution are already here, so it is a "short" step for new versions to show up with refined internals and cheaper production costs by optimizing the entire engineering side. They would still cost a lot, but hey, lots of quirky instruments in the past were sold for the same reason. Give it 5 years and I am sure some Chinese college startup will be selling similar stuff for a fraction of the cost on AliEx or TEMU.

    Europe uses 220V (240V actually) at 50 Hz.
    The US use 110V at 60 Hz.
    The current draw is around similar, so you got total less power on the US mains (bit less than twice the power).
    That's why the motor feels weakish, but Rob is a skilled player, he quickly senses the strong points and weaknesses of the instruments and plays accordingly.

      Your point stands about the power difference, but the US has been 120V since the late 60's. Which is why in the US vintage (60's and older anyhow) tube amps tend to sound "better" on a variac taking them back down towards 110V.

    • @lucyfer7748
      @lucyfer7748 Před 12 dny +13

      @@MondoJim Thanks for updating my knowledge.
      Yeah, there's line resistance, which lowers the end voltage you find in the electrical sockets. The more users on a section, the more current draw, the warmer the line gets, the more resistance and thus the lower the voltage.
      To ensure people get the nominal voltage (220V in Europe and other areas, 120V in the US, etc.), the electricity producers raised steadily voltage to higher values to compensate for the inevitable voltage drop at the end of the line.

    • @todayonthebench
      @todayonthebench Před 10 dny +8

      The EU has a mains voltage of 230 volts nominal -6% to +10%. (216 to 253 volts. And countries not using 230 volts should continue on using whatever they use, and why actual mains voltage in the European union varies from country to country. It is harmonized on paper, and close enough in practice. Line resistance also doesn't meaningfully impact the mains voltage supplied, since line resistance is honestly very low.)
      Not that this really matters here.
      Now, I can't say that the motor stalls out easier or not on US vs EU voltage. (I weren't there to test myself, obviously.)
      But from a logical side of things, the motor isn't running directly on mains voltage, so it shouldn't have a direct impact.
      It is a fairly common NEMA(17, perhaps 23) stepper motor, these usually run on 12-72 volts DC feed from a stepper driver. That in turn needs to be powered by a power supply. (even if larger stepper drivers usually have that integrated, but that isn't the case here. Since the power pack is literally lying on the floor behind Rob's chair.)
      Now, it could be the plug pack providing the whole circuit with power that has issues with the lower mains voltage. Since a power supply is generally affected by mains voltage. (with a higher mains voltage one is further away from one's minimum operating voltage, and this allows the filter caps to discharge further before said minimum is reached, effectively ensuring that one can draw more energy from the supply in a given mains cycle. The higher frequency of US mains voltage however slightly reduces this issue since the filter cap gets recharged more frequently. In practice PSUs tends to only be 20-30% more "powerful" in the EU.)
      But I don't suspect that the plug pack were the issue. Since Mattias could increase the drive current of the stepper drive without having the plug pack complain. Something the power supply would do if it were the limit. (Most stepper drivers have configurable drive currents, both to not burn up the motor from idle power dissipation, but also to provide a torque limit for when such is a desired trait.)
      In the end.
      My own guess is that Mattias simply didn't accurately recall the amount of torque the motor had. (since judging torque is honestly fairly error prone and why torque wrenches are required in industry even for fairly wide torque specs. It is however a fun challenge to have people guess torque or weights, accuracy is often laughably poor.)

    • @kiddy1992
      @kiddy1992 Před 3 dny +1
