Offer it to an exploratory / museum type place perhaps?

I was also thinking along these lines but having a "ballistic pendulum" whe=
re ball bearings fall down from a height, hit a steel plate, then bounce up=
 to a collector and get recirculated. It might fit into stairwell or someth=
ing I suppose :)
Or maybe a really impractical ballistic analogue of the old mercury delay l=
ine memories with a stream of ball bearings in flight... should be able to =
manage eight bits or so at least, if I had a warehouse to ping them across =
then maybe more, depends how fast they can be reliably launched I guess (so=
lenoid, gauss gun, pneumatics?) lots to daydream about :)

Cheers,

Great aren't they. So on my To Do list, I collected a few videos and hope t=
o make something over the summer. Also in the works is a clock based on a b=
agatelle (possibly pinball) game, using steel bearings

Kinda like this, one of his whimsical non-clock projects

Trouble is, once it's made where to put it ? They aren't especially quiet, =
not an artwork for the bedroom
