no, but it can mix you a drink.

can you stick your finger in the fan blade and "scratch" with it?

Plus, it keeps you cool at gigs.

they are screaming at the same time, because the schoolchildren have been tied to the trees.
I'll think about the chainsaw thing... might be a bit tricky to find the right potentiometer though...

Do that again, but on a chainsaw, that would be the greatest thing ever, its an interesting way to keep cool.

It would be as if trees and schoolchildren were actually screaming.

After having finally bought a new soldering iron (and having discovered that in fact I had a Weller iron laying sound, yet a broken one). I have started to do some experiments with a couple of devices I had laying around.
I don't know if you can call it circuit bending, but I think it's somewhere close to it.
First project was to mod the Beep-it optical theremin by Michael Una (http://una-love.com/munablog/) by adding a fan and a pot to control it. The pot does not only control the speed of the fan, but also modifies the sound a bit. it's a bit like the Synth Fan by Gieskes, only this one uses the fan to modulate the sound, and not as an oscillator. http://gieskes.nl)
The second one is also a really simple one, I took one of those lighters that play you some kind of 1 bit tune when you press the button (for Elisa in this case), and added a pot to control the voltage that get's fed through the circuit. I tried to find some more bending point, but on a circuit which consists of one transistor and some kind of microchip, there's not lot you can do. Still it produces some weird noise, which is fun!

here's a video of the devices in action:

The video shows the beep-it thing for the most part, in the end you get a glimpse of the second one.
The music you can hear at the beginning was made with samples taken from both devices, I only added the bass drum and the synth that kicks in after a couple of seconds.

Let me know what you think about it!
