Inspired by #Timhunkin at #emfcamp, I'm going to build my first coin operated thing. Bought one of these things, surprisingly sophisticated for £15!
Highlight #8: Tim Hunkin(!) and his fabulous mechanical arcade machine, Revolution. I absolutely loved walking the site with Tim and introducing him to astonished people

Walking around #emfcamp admiring all the games, arcade machines and gadgets that people had built made me think of Tim Hunkin. Then I spotted the man himself on the schedule, doing a talk about the history of electric shocks. Incredible!
Made a pilgrimage to see this gallery at the science museum before it closes. #timhunkin

I played i-Zombie at Novelty Automation, London. Pushed the emergency button within 2 seconds of it illuminating - couldn't stand to be without my #smartphone

The amazing #TimHunkin has started a new series of videos talking about how he makes his #arcade machines - Great stuff for #makers that are into #electronics. You can catch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX3RdD2qwdg
New arcade game: Two Ton School Run
"You're going to drive your kids 400m to the school at the top, safely protected by your 2 tonne four wheel drive SUV. All you have to do is get there without hitting anything."
"Wicked, you're a seriously bad parent".
When I went for my morning walk today, someone was driving on a residential road used as a school drop-off staring at her phone in her hand.

I will never not stop refrain from sharing my possibly most favourite #YouTube video series - "The Secret Life of Components" by #TimHunkin
If you ever saw the old TV series "The Secret Life of Machines" twenty years ago, this is the very same Tim Hunkin sharing all that he has learned about using sensors, chain, glue and so on and so on.
If you did not, you *still* need to watch this. It's just all around brilliant. Here's the introduction episode:
Had an enjoyable visit to Novelty Automation in London last week. There are lots of lovely machines there. Here are four of them.
1/ The "Is it art?" machine assessing my penknife.
2/ "Travel by tube" features a beggar and a dog lady.
3/ A "pong" video game, controlled by pedalling forwards or backwards to move the bat up or down the screen.
4/ The "instant weight loss" machine. After telling you your body mass index is too high it cooks and delivers a nourishing single grain of popcorn.

We watched Tim Hunkin's fun video (original from c.1987) on fax machines, and when he got to the bit where he and the late Rex Garrod demonstrated how they send messages over long distances, I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, Terry Pratchett had watched this too, and that it was at least partly the inspiration for the clacks.
And I was both happy and sad at the same time.

Lovely to see a new series of Tim Hunkin's Secret Life of Components started last night. They're great.
I always want to go building crazy automata arcade machines after watching one of his videos

Playing with the pneumatic arcade machines

The "electromagnet" turned out to be a pneumatically actuated rare earth magnet. Tim Hunkin is so clever!
