Another try at uploading videos of my moving gradient test on my cell phone...
I created a simple clock that is made of moving, colorful gradients on a black background. The purpose of the test was to try to find a way to have gradients merge with each other without unsightly masks removing parts of other gradients. I found a relatively simple way to do that but don't know if it's energy efficient or not (eg, uses too much battery) - I'll need to run tests and gather information first.
This is the debug variation that shows radial lines from the center to each "hand" as well as the integer value of each gradient (converted to clock time). Each gradient's position is a percent of the time around the clock and is continuous, not discrete, which is why the position of the gradients may not match the numbers on each gradient.
Pattern: Smartphone Mittens by me, because I the gradient yarn to flow from top to bottom
Yarn: my own gradient handspun two-ply from FLUFF Rambouillet Combed Top in Ripe Eggplant
Needles: US 7 - 4.5 mm
I wouldn't call these successful yet - this one is the proto-type, and I'll rip and re-knit it. But pretty close!
A car from the Great Orme Tramway, Llandudno, North Wales, makes it's way tentatively down from the 207m high summit, into rolling sea mist and clouds.
Built in 1902 (the original cars still operate today), this is Great Britain's only remaining cable operated street tramway and one of only three surviving in the world. It takes passengers from Llandudno Victoria Station to just below the summit of the Great Orme headland. Operation of the tramway differs from the better-known San Francisco system in that it is not a cable car but rather a street running funicular (similar to the Lisbon system), where the cars are permanently fixed to the cable, and are stopped and started by stopping and starting the cable. As one car is ascending, the other is descending, and they meet midway. The gradient at the lower point is around 1 in 3.8 and the upper point no less than 1 in 10.... that is rather steep!!!
On a clear day(not this one then!!!), the Isle of Man and the Lake district can be seen!
Another railway survivor, this marks the lowest point of the branch close to the three-quarter mile marker. The 1 in 528 points towards Harrow; the other post (illegible) denotes the gentle climb towards the terminus at Stanmore.
