Kind of neat. What would perhaps make it more interesting is if it had several blades that were different depths. That way it could produce 3D images.
Some of the demo rotating graphics and logos manage to look surprisingly three dimensional.
depends ... for a single person experience .. you could in theory use a camera to get.position* viewing angle - and re-arange the data based on that ... giving it the effect of depth
@@akirahideo6904 if you do it sorta like a 3D print of the object it will look very 3D with no tracking needed, imagine a sphere made of big-to-small circles going from the back "fan" (the big circle) to the front "fan" (small circle), you get a 3D effect. Of course the effect works on a limited angle range, like Martin Gardner's 3D dragon illusion. I hope i make myself clear in English.
@@zobook that's shape based depthness and very limited... .. .it's just my opinion , but that initially suggested approach does not make much sense
@@akirahideo6904 I agree, is very limited, but not based on a single person position, it works for everyone on the "angle range".
This is pretty much what 1986 me thought 2019 would look like

@@roberte2945 We have to go back!
The mechanical versions of these are called nipkow disks, BBC used them for early tv but they were god aweful because there were poor standards for calibrating it so you'd be constantly changing it station to station. This is the pinnacle of tech rn... actually no, it's not. This is the ~$130 dollar version while I'm sure there's a lot better ones for more money, to the point we're approaching 30fps (monitor territory!)
@@tjyoyo3 It did make me think of the mechanical television video on the 'Technology connections' youtube channel.
Heh, that Heineken animation is the kind of thing you'd see in a 1990s cyberpunk movie, to scream "LOOK, IT'S THE FUTURE! WOOOO!" at you. 😂🤣
That is exactly what I thought. Brought up memories of the fifth element and judge dredd
@@sinformant BIG BATA BOOM!
There's more holograms in scifi now than there were in the 90s
I thought it'd be really cool to do a Captain America shield with that
Either 1990s, or even 1980s cyberpunk movie!
The coca cola video you used is absolutely like something from blade runner
I was thinking about the Geisha ads on buindings and blimps would look great on that.

Okay Techmoan. I just have to say that I have been watching your videos for some years now, and it's been an absolute pleasure!
Everything about you, and how you make the videos, the quality, the content, the puppets, the nostalgia, the knowledge, the passion, and so much more makes your videos exceptional. I'm always happy when there is a new video out, and it gives me some time to just relax and enjoy. Keep it up!

Very impressive and the software is a LOT simpler than I expected.
Hi! This is a long shot on an old comment I realise, though do you still have a copy of the software? I lost the original sd that came shipped with it and can't find the software online for the life of me!
@@alfiesellers89 I don't have it, sorry. Maybe you could email technomoan. I doubt he gets to read all his comments. Especially on old videos.
@@alfiesellers89 look for an aliexpress seller that has this and message them odds are they'll send it to you
Does this mean that the Tech Moan logo will be upgraded with the output from this device?

I'm now picturing a RUclips collaboration where you review things and then send them on to Clive to take them apart
There was something recently that I was contemplating contacting him about as it seemed extremely shoddy - but I can't remember what happened in the end. That's the trouble with getting old, you start doing something then
@@Techmoan It'll probably turn out that you actually contacted JW! #o)
As you are waving your hand around, I kept thinking you'd accidentally HACK it off in the fan! #Scary ;)
You’re not the only one - please do not attempt this at home, all stunts performed by an untrained buffoon with a penchant for reckless behaviour.
Hi MJR big fan!
Techmoan how odd - I have the bell clicked and yet I was only served this video 15 minutes ago when apparently you uploaded it three days ago. Yikes.
Must've been a North Atlantic storm slowing my bits up.

Humanity has finally invented a device that will entice small children into a blender by rendering a cuddly dancing Pikachu on a blade
Just my tought. My kid would loose his fingers within seconds of being in the room with that thing...
Finally, a reason for Pikachu to exist.
That's pretty funny dude. Prob true as well.
I remember seeing PoV devices that spun a transparent screen rather than a single strip of lights.
Be nice to see a modern one given how much better LED and OLED displays have gotten.
Lol I read "hologram fan" and thought someone who really really likes holograms
Between that title and the thumbnail featuring Mario, I was like "why would Mario be a holographic fan of something ...?"
Techmoan missed a trick by not showing a GIF of Hatsune Miku on it.
Haha I thought it was something a fan sent him
I might be showing my age, but it made me think of the T Rex song Telegram Sam

6:41 I love that: a message saying “Please don’t cancel!” with a Cancel button below it. ;)
this is almost like a modern version of a mechanical TV
MRxOTARIS Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon.
that's kinda neat! definitely getting a futuristic blade runner vibe from it for sure!
Nice to see Big Clive mentioned by both ashens and tech moan 👏
Big Clive refers to that kind of adaptor as a "deathdaptor".
The SektorZ Electroboom mentioned him too.
When he pulled the adaptor out of the box I said to myself there's the deathdaptor 😂😂
@@zh84 Deathinitely don't use....
Yay, big Clive!
This would look absolutely great in a bar/pub. Another plus is the fact that those are already noisy environments, usually.
I remember these from many years ago. I've always wanted one. I know they are gimmicky, but it's a lot like a lighted painting. It's art and fun to look at, even though it might fall into the tacky category as fads change and it will inevitably break.
I think it might be worth it, though I know too many engineers to buy one without their recommendations. That's where I saw these so long ago.
Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
You should use this to create a new Techmoan intro or outtro. That looks absolutely neat.
i would prefer the old intro. The combination of the old style audio equipment with the demonstration of technical know how is ingenious. Cheap china junk is just cheap.
@@unusefulidiot Yeah, expensive china junk is much better! /s
@@unusefulidiot And I am sure you can find expensive made in "WHATEVER country you fancy about" good quality products out there. That said, who cares?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well OF COURSE!!! It's from CHINA!!! Home of bootleg products and stuff!
Seems like a modern day Logie-Baird mechanical TV of sorts....now to get this to accept a live video input!
That would be great! I wonder what kind of fps we could get hacking this and converting the the images live.
Exactly what I was thinking
Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon.
I can see a Max Headroom animation looking great on that
Human ingenuity is so dope. We conceptualized the premise for this technology decades ago, figured out how to put it to film and now it exists in real life. Really gives you motivation to keep living and see just what else we'll turn into reality.
This looks amazing :) especially the ones with a clear background
If it could take a real-time feed, you could do animated circular VU meter in ‘mid-air’
With this you can recreate the scene in star wars where princess leia asked for help via hologram
IDK Plays - You’re my only hope!
That was my first thought when I saw this. If I had one, that would be the first thing I upload to the SD card and try to play on it.
There's a video with a Chinese (I think) lass using two to do Dr Strange magic effects.
I will definitely be tempted to pass my hands through the 'hologram'.
I love these things... Considering getting one myself for my own amusement..
Might not actually be a true hologram, but it's closest thing available in a commercial product really.. At least that I've seen.
check out the Looking Glass, that's much closer to being an actual holographic display (it has depth)
@@kendokaaa Ok.. Just went and looked that up.. Still not quite a true hologram, but very cool...
This is the best quality footage of one of these I have seen vs real life! you can also get 4 bladed ones, where the LED pixels on blades 1 and 3 are slightly misaligned to pixels on blade 2 and 4. This way it fills in the gaps a bit better (a bit like how a dot matrix printer could do higher details by shifting the paper ever so slightly and going over it again!)
The rolling shutter is ruining the effect but that globe looks stupendous. The relatively low res and artifacting just make it look cooler.
I wonder if you can do a flat earth hologram
@@BILLY-px3hw Gold!
I feel like this thing would make an amazing house-fly trap for any business.
The lights would be constantly attracting any flies nearby and the rate that they spin at would instantly kill any fly that was attracted to it lol
Free advertising at the same time, 2 birds with 1 stone.
It's 2019 and we are going to see holographic puppets, exciting.
yes, the flesh and bone ones are really boring,,, new era for the puppets
With some LEDs and tricky maths, John Logie Baird's idea of the mechanical television has finally reached a usable state!
Harry Potter Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon.
It's like a mechanical television.
Svenzo1 Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon.
OMG! The old test-card! Wow such nostalgia. Much feels. Many memories.
if they can get software to the point where you could just plug it into hdmi and use it as a monitor it would the first step i think to star wars holograms.
i used to have a little battery operated portable fan with LEDs in the blades that made a moving pattern like you have in your intro. but it just made a pattern, there wasn't any words
Very cool device, it’d be even cooler if it could do real-time input.
...HDMI :)
I don't see a problem with that. It would just be the software I suppose?
A friend of mine did her art degree using a single bar, persistence of vision art pipe; very similar to what this blade is only hand-held. It seemed like a fun project at the time but this is even cooler. I kind of want one, now.
Now I want to hack my ceiling fan so I can watch movies while lying in bed. Now that a cool idea, literary :-)
"...This power supply here that I've been holding between my knees". -- I'll be waiting for that one to appear on some mischievous mash-up video! :p
Be a neat thing to display user icons with, might be something to use to show the icons of patreon subscribers in the background of a video?
That's a really cool idea!
Excellent Halloween decor.
A modern day Baird Televisor.
SkeletonSyskey Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon.
Very cool looking! Those POV displays have always fascinated me, even the simple “wiper” types that swing back and forth to display the date and time. There’s just something so magical about having this virtual image floating there. Have to wonder what the largest one ever made is like, I would assume eventually you’d hit limits in materials and stability with a really large, heavier one, and since you get a better image the faster it goes you would likely end up with tip speeds that were crazy.
I've seen cosplayers use them to display things like Doctor's Strange's magic circles
Well, those better be flexible or they're gonna be chopping fingers off.
@@blargvlarg1390 It feels like you've been hit with a TV remote control without batteries.
I need pics.
@@Clay3613 Even better: video! ruclips.net/video/3La-0AdMZXU/видео.html
I've seen these installed in a local shopping mall. An electronic retailer used them to advertise new smartphones and smartwatches.
Those fans really look like holograms when looking from a distance.
We demand a carrot-shoved-into-the-fan test! In the name of science of course...😉
he could open his own chippy if he invested in potatoes instead
@@technopoptart Wouldn't you get crisps if you put a potato under the blade? ( For American readers, crisps in UK equals chips in USA)
@@tinplategeek1058 i mean if they were thin enough and cooked in oil until brittle, then sure but that is more effort than a throw-away joke like this needs. in the end it is best if it is concise; replace chipped carrots with chipped potato = profit
@@tinplategeek1058 shhh, don't tell them . Let them stay confused
That would be a great crossover feat. Colin Furze
Since this is a radial display, the 450 is the number of "slices" around the circle it can display (the LED's can change color 450 times each revolution), while the 224 is simply the number of LED's along the length of the blades.
Maybe the LEDs on one half of the propellery thing are offset by half the size of an LED, by that it would be possible to double the resolution without doubling the LED count, little bit like interlaced Video
You would create flicker unless the arm rotates realllllly fast
This will be what replaces LCD TV and computer monitors! Would be awesome watching game grumps on that!
Krunchy The Clown Yes !! I love Nipkow-Baird that it will be back TV HD colour soon. LCD is flop.
I always felt that these rotating displays are successors of Baird's television system. I guess he might win out in the end...
It is a low cost holographic device. Interesting for sophisticate 3D projects and a contribution to upgrade our civilisation . Good idea !
Really brings a new meaning to "Blade Runner"...
I saw one of these at a duty free in an airport recently. It really was a good way to capture your attention
Me: I wonder how long before someone hacks this with porn...
Techmoan: It uses any image of gif.
ME: its already be done a thousand times then.
slightly more curious about using it like a monitor.
If you have acces to the SD card sure but it isn't connected to the internet so you can't just "hack" it
TheTurnipKing ah yes a refresh rate of 5hz
@@dezmobluefire8217 Ouch
😂😂😂😂
These things are all over AliExpress for a lot less than Ebay. If it is without a brand, it usually can be found there. Saves you quite a bit.
Sellers have realised, to sell more you increase price, mugs are then fooled into thinking it must be good as it costs. . .
Neat trick, but for that price, you could just hang up a used 15 inch TV/monitor with your advert's looping on it. Love this channel
This would be a good device for a pub or restaurant. Very interesting tech. I bet you could make a TV or monitor using such technology.
what is the real noise level produced? on the recording it sounds quite significant.
Was wondering that myself.
@@Tangobaldy he is holding / standing next to it while recording with his microphone. Perhaps it's not that bad if you are 2-5 metres away.
In a shop, it's noticeable but totally unobtrusive. At home, maybe don't run it while trying to sleep or study.
That propeller effect is a good example of rolling shutter, as you can see the propeller “curve”
TechMoan! An idea! Change your bumper to this device displaying the video of your current device showing your logo! Lol!
The thing that makes the old intro interesting is the reel to reel machine is driving the effect. This device wouldn’t need the R2R machine, so it loses that DIY mad professor vibe. It’s more efficient, but less intriguing.
Techmoan he meant a video of the R2R machine playing the old persistence of vision technmoan logo on this new persistence of vision fan. It would be persistence of vision of persistence of vision of techmoan logos
I think this would be a neat thing to have inside a store with just rolling images, in my case at a model railway shop it would he cool to have railway logos and different ads for shirts signs etc
2:30 Captain Heineken, He got pulled over by the police when he's on his way to beat Thanos
YES.
A few cosplayers have used this persistence of vision fans for “floating magic circle” effects. Looks pretty cool.
Add a vaporwave video to it for the full Blade runner experience.
We have some of these signs at our arcade and people love them, it's really amusing watching people try and take photos with their cell phones of the images
All the time Matt presented this gizmo, I can't help noticing how close to the "blade" he was standing. Scary!
Helicopter photo effect in laymen's terms. the camera is only showing the fan in a fixed position every 60 seconds or so. But the blade is spinning much faster. No real way to adjust for that without some sort of special effect.
Blade edges would be a issue too. You could run into them and even get injured since you may not be able to see exactly where they are. It needs a visible LED edge or visually a frame.
But all in all. Very cool toy. First version I have seen and if I can rob a bank I'll have to get one.
These would be perfect for some of the older cartoon shorts.
similar to how the first television demos worked, except of course LEDs hadn't been invented.
incredibly powerful thumbnail
Now if only this had angled blades to move air as well as displaying images I could see myself buying one
@Sannesthesia the weather can't seem to make up its mind here. Freezing cold, nice for a day or two, then a monsoon followed by freezing and repeat
Just glue a piece of slanted plastic to each arm and Bob's your auntie!
Oh man I do a synthpop project. When concerts are a thing again, i soo getting two of these as stage lights^^
I just got a 48-second long unskippable ad?
*Starts the video in a bad mood although already sure Techmoan will make it better*
Guess the rules are changing on this platform, eh... sigh.
@@samuelfellows6923 😭
That's really neat white noise maker. Comes with a display.
nice one matt,almost like the 3d jaws from back to the future lol
These would be excellent for a display in a shop. I'm going to send this video to a friend who runs a local aquarium shop. It's be neat to set up a repeating hologram of a fish swimming and place it in one of the big 75gal display tank, sans water of course.
Years later and these have improved greatly but they still haven't taken off really. I wonder why more people aren't useing these for advertisement
Yeah, I've had a passing fancy for these things for years now and they've certainly improved. Still to pricy for the novelty, especially at the effective resolution they have.
Incidentally, the 4 blade versions not only have higher effective resolution and framerate, but they also support wifi and have 'app control', so presumably you can change the animations on the fly and support more features overall, like streaming a video. The page for one of them doesn't even mention .GIF in the supported list, though presumably it would support it. Based on one of the pictures in the description, it seems you might be able to link multiple quad-fans together to produce one larger image?
Mum had a similar method for advertising her pet shop in the 80s at a market with a C64 and a loop of different details and prices, specials, etc.
Her CRT TV was less prone to chopping arms off!
(Just to be sure, it was mounted high up anyway.)
That's really good, where i can buy the vinyl version???
You mean one of these? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television
Interesting video, thanks for brining another unknown product into the light!
That is a really realistic, smartly dressed, rendering of Techmoan!
I remember when these came out in the late 90s and imagining a Blade runner-esque future where they were fitted to the tops of taxis and police vehicles to display advertising and information messages. Of course now the actual future is here and if they wanted to do that they'd just use LCDs (much like the buses in Children of Men). Still a cool looking display though, there's something very retro-futuristic about them. The spinning globe looks particularly cool and reminds me of the huge 3D one they have at the Media Museum in Bradford (I would love to know how that works - some sort of internal projection onto a suspended sphere). I have a miniature version (of the PoV fan) that my late wife got me about 10 years ago - paid about £12 for it from the gadget shop. It's only about 8" across with flexible fan blades and displays an analogue / digital time and date display in red and green. Cool to look at, but it doesn't really work very well as a fan and the novelty quickly wore off.
This would be extremely cool if you could feed LIVE video to it via composite, or HDMI.
If they could get the resolution up to 1080 and accept LIVE HDMI I would pay whatever it cost to get one of these. How Frigging Awesome!!!!!!!
This is one of the coolest things i've ever seen. Thank You Techmoan for showing me the light (LED)
Seen these in arcade coin pushers for years now, always thought it was a cool effect.
its a pitting it cant show a live feed, I fancy a virtual gold fish bowl now.
Yep that's what I was thinking, how feasible it would be to have something like this function as a monitor. It would make for a cool customisable clock too
Don't need it. Want one! Good to see Big Clive! Enjoyed the video, thank you.
As always a very entertaining video. Quite fascinating device. But still too expensive for a gimmick. Imagine this on car rims *g*
Already for bicycles
kwacker45 yeah I was gonna say that, I got one for my nephew once, it worked by putting a magnet under his seat, as it passed by it, it knew which way up it was and what rate it needed to change the leds, it worked pretty well.
I bought a coworker a handheld fan that did this sort of thing. It was only one color led, but it would show the logo and name of his favorite American football team. The one I got him worked as a fairly decent handheld fan, and the type and logo looked very nice.
Hey Techmoan, have you ever tried VR and what do you think of it?
I love my PSVR though I can't play some of the games,as even after a year of trying I get seriously nauseous. Driving games and first person shooters are the hardest for me. It really is an amazing experience,and has reinvigorated my passion for games. There are a lot of games that don't make me feel lousy though. Every one of my friends that have had a go on my PSVR are also blown away by the immersion,even my girl friend loved it,and she is not even a gamer. I would love to see @Techmoan do a video on it.
If you don’t wear glasses and don’t get motion sickness, it’s great. For everyone else, it’s fun for 5 minutes then you give up because you have a headache / feel sick.
Thanks for having link to countrys other then just the US and UK
Thank you for saying gif with a G
Facinating little gizmo,be intresting to see how far that tech evolves to.Neat.
Perhaps if they arranged the leds in a flat disk it would not be so dangerous. Also if they made the leds smaller and finer there would be no need for spinning. I wonder if that would work. 📺
Screens aren’t very floaty in the airy hologrammy tho are they?-y. I’m fascinated by the fact that the SD card goes into the fan, I wonder if they ever go flying off into god knows where when people don’t stick them in properly?
Clever gadget. You always make it seem good enough to plop down my hard earned cash. Interesting that the UK always has the flash warning (i.e. for epileptics) while in the US, no one has talked about this potential effect (that I am aware of), in decades.
