@@bpark10001 You can't design things like that. They will last way too long, when you sell something for consumer use it HAS TO wear out and break down, otherwise they won't buy another one. You'd never want to minimize the amount of parts, if anything, you ADD complexity and proprietary parts to make sure they can't fix it themselves easily.

This would be awesome for a flip book type animation. Should try it if that's up your alley of abilities, I'm not very good at dissecting movements in a fluid enough way for those animations.
Ian Barnes Great Job What You Made !!! Old School Tech, Still Good School Tech !!! Keep It Up Successfully Thank You !!!

Hey Ian...its Ian. Parents used to have a alarm clock like this. Tried to time it in my head for it to flip to the next minute... Then it was time to change it for daylight saving and forced those flaps almost to the breaking point...going back an hour took 2 minutes...and more of a bitch if you shot past the minute you wanted. Fun to flip it fast in one shot to get it at exactly :00 Guess who busted it...😁...took that thing apart just to know how that bloody thing worked.
Is this what they used in those huge airport schedule tables? I've seen these magnetic pixel displays too. I never fly so I don't know what they use nowadays.
There's 104 days of summer vacation And school comes along just to end it So the annual problem for our generation Is finding a good way to spend it Like maybe... Building a rocket Or fighting a mummy Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower Discovering something that doesn't exist (Hey! ) Or giving a monkey a shower Surfing tidal waves Creating nanobots Or locating Frankenstein's brain (It's over here! ) Finding a dodo bird Painting a continent Or driving your sister insane (Phineas! ) As you can see There's a whole lot of stuff to do Before school starts this fall (Come on Perry) So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb Are gonna do it all So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb are Gonna do it all!
Can someone explain to me what this is used for? I mean would a screen be easier to use and faster to change? Not to mention you'd be able to see a screen in the dark. I can see why this was used BEFORE screens where a thing, but now?
@@monsterrateh3685 I see, so as far as I understand it, it's essentially what people used before tv screens became a thing. I thank thee for educating my ignorant self.
I could't stop thinking about that this could have been part of one of the SAW movies, although I really liked it I was kinda scared throughout the video
What if you build a robot that could built more robots that build even more robots that destroy robots that build robots? That would be so freaking AWESOME! But, you’re gonna need to make a whole lot more spell bots to advertise a job opening for someone who knows how to build robots, and a doctor to treat all of the paper cuts on your hands from all of those spell bots you made! So, good luck with that!
Thanks for the compliment... sorry I have not published the design as I was going to create a project with another partner. This hasn't been going as well as expected... not sure what the direction will be now. I did get a bit further than this video, it now has black plastic diecut flaps with white vinyl stickers for the text. It looks a lot better and is quite durable.
I am 6 years too late but one way to make it quicker is making so letters repeat in as the real distribution (geometric progression of 0.5 from the most used to the least used char)
The flaps in this prototype are made from thin card. I have since moved to diecut polypropylene that is 0.5mm thick. There are no hinges per say, just little ears each flap rotates on. You can see more detail in this video where I am cutting them out of plastic: ruclips.net/video/dA6BeZM-lc0/видео.html

Why.

Frankfurt Airport still has those
And they where power efficient AF
@@justus2944 the ones in the main terminal are silent LCD panels. Boring Lol
Now make thousands of them that just have colors, then put them in a grid and connect them together to make a display.

I don't think these are a new design though?
Weren't these used in airports
@@fishjohn014 Yeah. The principle is old. I'm after the specific design. I'd like to make 6 to make a clock! 😁

Make it heavier to get that old airport sound.
Put the stepper inside the drum and elimimate lost motion of the belt/pulleys.
The motion lost would be negligible.....

@@bpark10001 all fair points, when considering wear.

@@ccllvn Oh yes you can! ...but there is one thing different: this is not for sale!
This is what my grandparents imagine happens in the computer when they type a letter.
If you'd put a lot of these together, would it be possible to use this display to display a fully-functional Tetris?
Sure.
It would make more sense to use a flip dot display for that.
That would require pictures of every possible state of tetris
Or just have each cube be one space
Yes, but the time it would take to see the rotation, with the cards having to cycle through, it would probably be really annoying to try and play.
Very nice. Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to build one of these? I'm very interested in making some for my own.

You need additional step at bottom to prevent waving. Quarter inch tall and somewhere 1 inch from the front.
Our family had an alarm clock based on that back in the 80's, manual of course, and before digital was widespread, unless my family was cheap.
Oh wow this is identical to a project I've been working on! Fantastic work

I grew up with a clock radio, where the clock hours, minutes (1-60) were this technology. This takes me way back.

Did you ever do more with this? It's very cool.
I wonder how the letters are arranged. Must be letters often used after another being close together. This gives me an idea for a nice algorithm!
can you make multiple of those to make words and satisfying sounds?

Imagine you Rick rolling people with this
Maybe in the future they will invent a little diode that emits light..and they will call it a D.E.L...it may revolutionize the world!!!
Great imma use this when I need to know what comes after any letter.
I wanna se it themed like the "Lost" series
What woukd this be used for though
Epic display, very cool!
Is this cheaper than regular lcd screen
Can someone explain to me what this is used for? I mean would a screen be easier to use and faster to change? Not to mention you'd be able to see a screen in the dark.

It was used in airports, telling the time of departure and arrival,aswell as the location of the next flight.

I dont understand where does the sensor gets its feedback ?
There’s a blank one, right?
You are a genie, it utiliseted for "petit bac"
Did you make more?
This being run by AI? Or am I missing the point?
Energy saving!!! Beautiful
The stepper uses far more energy than an entire normal modern LCD screen... Cool technology but not energy saving in typical applications.
Yes but, can it play bad apple?
Is there any way to generate images with an array of these tuned some way.
I could't stop thinking about that this could have been part of one of the SAW movies, although I really liked it I was kinda scared throughout the video
what if you have repeated letters? is there a way to show many of them repeats?
duh
Did you make 80×25 of them?
POV: this shows up in your recommended, 6years later
0:51 look at the bottom of that machine with a bunch of papers it looks kinda satisfying and like animals fur moving
Wow nice work. I want the clock version
I wonder why was i recommended this after 6 years
Amazing design
Eminem has been silent since this has said the alphabet faster than he can rap
missed a golden opportunity to say "send dudes"
It'd be really cool to see a large flip book inside of it

i have no idea what this is but i’m intrigued
Hope got the demo ?
Last Dhaka tip .
What if you build a robot that could built more robots that build even more robots that destroy robots that build robots?
That would be so freaking AWESOME!
But, you’re gonna need to make a whole lot more spell bots to advertise a job opening for someone who knows how to build robots, and a doctor to treat all of the paper cuts on your hands from all of those spell bots you made!
So, good luck with that!
What is the use of this???
it needs a stop at the bottom that catches the falling panels to be original
Ian where can we get a kit for this?
i like it
Hi, how are you, do you have news about your prototype?? I would like book a split flap full panel...
+Aitor Xavier Zurutuza Del Río sorry not much progress. But one day I will make this into a product. Just that it is a lower priority :-)

What did you make the flaps out of? What did you use for the hinges?
The flaps in this prototype are made from thin card. I have since moved to diecut polypropylene that is 0.5mm thick. There are no hinges per say, just little ears each flap rotates on.
