I had an idea with this ...  Spring Ding Thing  - that I forgot to complete. Maybe Amped up... doesn't look any better from any other angle.

Fugly thing. Does it make any noise?

I'm just getting into the spirit of things.

Now if it makes music I might take it back.

Like ... Hmm.. Even the fat lady can sing at the end.

It seems like a long way to go around producing a beyoinginingningning sound. 

Might have been better ticking and tocking

that's kinda genius.

This is both ugly and beautiful

Like a clockwork nightmare that sings like an angel.

i came across that  last  week  or so  . it IS  hella  cool   !!! ;-)

FIRE POWER ! 

a few years ago   i  made a fire powered canjo  ,  the heat  from the  flames  hit the  fins up-top and cause  the loop  to  spin  ,  i   hung  2  beads  on a thread  to lightly hit the string as    they pass  over  it  .  It made a " ting - tang" " ting tang"  .. sound .   like a light  strum  tho (sorry , no sound in vid ) .
