These gears pass some the energy provided by the operator turning a crank to the rear section of Tide Predicting Machine No. 2, a special purpose mechanical analog computer for predicting the height and time of high and low tides.
The U.S. government used Tide Predicting Machine No. 2 from 1910 to 1965 to predict tides for ports around the world. The machine, also known as “Old Brass Brains,” uses an intricate arrangement of gears, pulleys, chains, slides, and other mechanical components to perform the computations.
A person using the machine would require 2-3 days to compute a year’s tides at one location. A person performing the same calculations by hand would require hundreds of days to perform the work. The machine is 10.8 feet (3.3 m) long, 6.2 feet (1.9 m) high, and 2.0 feet (0.61 m) wide and weighs approximately 2,500 pounds (1134 kg). The operator powers the machine with a hand crank.
My Lego hobby isn’t my work, but sometimes there are area’s where they come together.
I work as a director for a Dutch company in the field of engineering plastics and elastomers, and as it happens another known Lego builder is on my team as well: Jaap Kroon, mostly know as TechnicJaap, is designing all kinds of technical wizardry during weekdays, but when I came with the idea to decorate my office with some of our actual machinery replicated in Lego, he was on board quickly.
We chose two machines we operate in our factory, and both of us designed and created the replicas in 1:13, conveniently easy then to use them as load for my Lego trucks as well.
Jaap build a Covestro Baule polyurethane casting machine. We operate a couple of these to produce polyurethane parts for use in for example offshore and energy markets.
I then build a Hartford LG1000 CNC milling machine. We run a couple of machines like this as well, to produce special parts for high-tech applications worldwide.
The machines can be put on a dropdeck trailer with matching Peterbilt truck. A nice eye catcher in the office, and always a cool conversation piece!

A rope making machine at the Scottish Maritime Museum, Irvine.
I shot this to capture the intricate details and textures of this machine. I wanted to illustrate the massive bulk of this old tool.

Weaknesses: weak, out of shape, no real powers, trips over his cape
Bio: Just some teenage weeb who watched one too many action-hero movie. He rides around on his bike blasting "Deja Vu" from his iPod, searching for people to help. More often than not, he ends up creating more trouble, and an actual superhero has to rescue him.
El yerno y la nieta de una antigua profesora mía en el instituto. Se sentaron a tomar algo en la misma terraza donde estaba yo con mi familia, cuando vi que sacaron la guitarra pensé en la cámara que llevaba en el bolso para seguir probando el objetivo manual y hacerme más a él, y como mi marido me decía que nunca lo iba a tener más fácil pues me anime a preguntarle a mi antigua profesora si le importaba que les hiciera una foto.
No sólo no le importó, sino que además me dijo que los dos forman un grupo musical, su yerno toca y compone y la nieta canta, una voz preciosa por lo que estoy escuchando en la maqueta que tienen en YouTube y de la que os pongo el enlace. El grupo se llama Acoustic Soul Machine, disfrutad de su música :)

The poor, forgotten third member of the trio of Martian machines from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the Embankment Machine is a digging and excavation automaton built by the Martians and used to shore up the walls of their pit beachhead.
It doesn't get much of a description in the novel, so I've used my imagination.
I have been wanting to make one of these for ages and when I got my last hexie swap from TiggleGiggles I knew what I was going to do with some of the hexes. I wanted to wait until I got my {Urban} homegoods swap package (just in case) to make this for myself.
It's reversible and quilted on the outside and inside, although I like the outside too much to hide it!

Yashica 44 Twin Lens Reflex
Kentmere 100/135 B&W Film
Out playing with another vintage film camera.
The Yashica 44 is designed for 127 film but can shoot 135 with a simple mod (hence the sprocket holes).
A very old machine, but it looks clean and waiting to be fed at any moment. Yarn spools on the top and the yarn already spun below.

Do you know what The Useless Machine is? Well, this is almost useless machine as The Useless Machine. I don't know why should anyone use this, but I am not so good with technic parts so I am experimenting. When you press one of three buttons on each side rock, paper or
scissors will pop up.
It’s the theme of Time Machine, each second is history of course it all depends where in the world you are, our world with different times, and elapsed flying time, the only thing we can never get back is Time….. and we sell our time all through our lives, but our images are a time machine they transport us back.
