That’s How A Revolving Fan Works

These Geometric Tarts Turn Patisserie Into Architecture.

Ultra-thin sheets of chocolate are transformed into topographic works of art that taste just as good as they look. The project is a result of a collaboration between architect-turned-pastry chef Dinara Kasko and Miami-based artist José Margulis.

Margulis, who works with geometric abstractionism and kinetic art, created the initial patterns of what would eventually become edible sheets of chocolate using colorful 3D plastic sheets. Margulis focused on curved shapes with various volumetric geometries, transparencies and intense colors to create a rich, layered effect.

“Margulis’s utmost concern is the creation of geometric shapes conceived mostly by changing the perspective of the viewer accompanied by the philosophical notion that everything in life has diverse levels of narrative and spatial perceptions,” wrote Kasko in a blog post.

The chef then took Margulis’s initial designs and transformed them into edible treats using various cutting machines and tools to create 3D chocolate layers. These layers were then placed on top of four different flavored tart cakes, including blackberry-blueberry and cherry confit almond sponge cakes.

“I was transforming the object of art into something edible that would later perish, while emphasizing the ephemeral art, its fleetingness in our life,” said Kasko. “The appearance and, of course, the taste should leave a lasting impression and expand observer’s boundaries of what ‘cake’ can be. I like to surprise people.”

F1 engine playing Happy Birthday

When I was researching about F1 sometime ago, I stumbled upon this amazing video of the lotus team playing happy birthday on a F1 freaking engine!

The way this works is that the sheet music is taken and broken down into frequency and the milliseconds that it lasts for.

And the engine is turned on and off rapidly with different frequency tones to produce the tone i.e

OFF  - f1 Hz - f1 Hz - OFF - f2 Hz - f2 Hz - f2 Hz- OFF …. (entire song)

The dynamic response of the F1 engine to changes in the throttle is what blew my mind. F1 cars are able to pull this off due to the extremely lightweight flywheel/general rotating assembly. 

Imperial march on Floppy drive

Now you can do the same thing with motors as well. The motors can be revved up or down based on the frequency of the input.

Here’s the imperial march played on the floppy drive and Super Mario on the stepper motor:

What you are hearing is the tones made by the motor. 

Notice the slider moving faster for higher frequency

If you are into Arduino and DIY projects you can play around with the ToneMelody package and piezo-buzzer to get a similar response.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
