Zerosign Flashback - One year ago from today I posted this find from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Now that I have the full power of YouTube at my disposal, I believe it deserves another look
*cringe* Electrical Engineering students at UAB performing parodies of popular(?) songs with an electrical engineering theme. Actually, they are pretty funny. Not so much of a “haha funny” though. Its more of a “man this is awkward” kinda funny. The videos feature “Friends in Three Phases” (Garth Brooks parody), “Ohm’s Law Pie” (Don McLean parody), and definitely my favorite “In da EE Club” performed by 50 Ohm (50 Cent parody).
Currently I am taking pre-orders to gauge if there is any interest in owning this limited edition piece of internet geekery and, if so, to see how many to make. If interested, please feel free to order below.
This bulky, awkward looking device is in fact a very complicated machine that exists solely for the purpose of drawing text and pictures on the surface of water using waves. The Advanced Multiple Organized Experimental Basin, or AMOEBA, is about the size of a kiddie pool and can generate one character on the water every 3 seconds.
“Akishima Laboratories expects the technology to be incorporated into amusement devices that combine acoustics, lighting and fountain technology, which they hope to see installed at theme parks and hotels.”
Until I found the above quote I couldn’t tell if this was going to be cool and awesome, or cool and useless. I’m glad that classification has already been determined.
