much fun was had by all. mark taught me and liisa how to operate the inchworm (for the show in august) and we also got to run the v1 which is a replica of the first guided missile -a buzz bomb engine the germans built for wwII

the sound is from the valve bank inside at the other end of the barrel. the low frequency vibrations give you an internal organ massage if you stand alongside it. if you stand diagonally in front of it, your eyeballs and tonsils will oscillate.

Sound and Fury
I could hear the mayhem going on from my house up on Potrero Hill! behind the hospital I would have run down there, but my wife was in the middle of labor at the time. She gave finally birth at 9:20 AM Jluy 5th.

BTW, we named her Tesla: www.flickr.com/photos/dav/184447460/

wow! totally adorable! congrats!

glad you named her tesla and not v1 (or would that be hax0r for vi?) we didnt fire this off till about 4 or 5pm probably --- if you were near enough it probably could've been labor inducing! women have been known to get their period early standing next to this machine :)
