Back together again and working (except for the strobe, which unfortunately appears to be dead - don't hear the oscillator whining when I switch it on). I have another small strobe I can slip into its adapter if I like, though flash seems inappropriate for this type of camera, it would kind of blow the 'covert' thing.
This is a more complex and sophisticated camera than I had expected. If it weren't for the 2-speed shutter, this would have been the top of the Minolta-16 lineup. Even that made sense in the context of the design, though: the meter was set up so that you would dial through the apertures at one speed, if it wasn't enough then you would change speeds and keep going. Having just 2 speeds spaced 3 stops apart makes this simpler than having a bunch of intermediate speeds that you would never use.
A few days ago I found out about a plasma effect that turned out to be easy to duplicate (since I had most of the parts needed). Basically the globe is a low pressure xenon globe (with some oxygen contamination ie green). The circuit driving the loop of wire is a ~10MHz oscillator running at about 19V and 3 amps.
The oscillator sets up a field that is not enough to ionize the xenon. I used a HV vacuum leak coil to ionize the globe. The mystery is why it forms a stable toroid.
In this video the loop is at the bottom of the globe. The ionized ring is hot, rises to the top of the globe and at some point loses enough energy (because it's getting farther form the coil) and flames out. A new toroid then forms and rises like a smoke ring and decays.
Why the toroid forms in the first place is not something I can explain. I also like the little noises it makes as the toroid forms.

Breadboard prototype of a capacitance meter.
The capacitor to be measured is placed in a 555 oscillator circuit and an Arduino measures the frequency and displays the calculated capacitance.
This is a performance module designed to be used in a skiff. The module has four gate generators (The arcade buttons) which can be used to trigger oscillators and modulation. The gate generators can then be combined with the 6 attenuators or the 2 waveshapers for great performance controls.

“Sala de Máquinas” (Engine Room) is an audiovisual interactive installation, which intends to reflect on the idea of the reutilization of what we have acknowledged as obsolete...in this case old modified TVs that react to sound!
An electronic oscillator is connected to an open circuit, in a way that when the user touches 2 metal bars he/she himself/herself becomes the electrical resistance therefore being able to vary the frequency of sound.
The old modified TVs react to this sound as an oscilloscope having all kinds of different patterns and reactions.

Spaceward audio/trigger interface for Simmons SDSV drums. One only made by Mike Kemp for Dave Stewart (not David A Stewart)- On Ebay UK, July 2012 for £999
Spaceward custom-built audio/trigger interface for Simmons SDSV electronic drums.
This unique item was built by Mike Kemp of Spaceward Studio in Cambridge for Dave Stewart for use in his sessions with Barbara Gaskin (including No. 1 hit 'It's My Party').
It acts as an interface between a Simmons electronic drum kit and an SDSV brain, replacing the simple 'click' trigger with an elongated oscillator tone. This substantially changes the character of the Simmons drum sounds. Here's what Mike told me about it:
"This was a custom one-off device I made for Dave Stewart during the period he and Barbara Gaskin were using the studio heavily in the mid '80's.
Dave was a big user of Simmons drums, and he discovered that the drum sound generators sounded much more interesting when triggered from a more complex waveform than the "click" generated by a Simmons pad or a sequencer trigger. Although that produces the standard Simmons "dff", using a more complex trigger causes the Simmons sound module to generate an extended, weightier sound.
Accordingly, Dave asked me if I could do something to augment the click triggers, and I suggested this idea. Each channel is basically a damped oscillator, which when triggered, generates a burst of low-frequency oscillation. As far as I remember, it has controls for the frequency and the damping, which control the sound and duration of the extended trigger to be fed to the Simmons unit.
So it is more than just an interface; it is designed to augment the sound of the basic Simmons kit, and lend it a new, more complex and often darker character. It is only of use together with the Simmons. Anyone with an interest in Simmons drums would find this fascinating, and I suspect, irresistible. I only built one unit, so the result is, of course, a unique sound for the Simmons owner interested in getting more innovative sounds than you can get with a basic kit.
Mike Kemp, June 2012."
The unit is 19-inch rack-sized, though it doesn't have mounting ears. It has seven channels, each with Threshold, Holdoff, Pitch and Level controls. On the back, each channel has sockets labelled Input, SDSV, +15V and Moog (so it presumably has additional triggering functions for Moog equipment, though I can't say how this works). There are also two Microphone inputs and a socket for a standard Europlug mains lead.
I can't guarantee the unit is completely working, as I don't have a Simmons kit to test it with; but it powers up and all the LEDS light. Also, it's built like a tank, which gives me some confidence. But because of its unique nature and age, I'm selling it as-is with no guarantee of any functionality and no possibility of returns.
Please contact me with any questions you have, though I've said pretty much everything I know about the unit here; delivery cost is due to its size and weight, but collection from St Albans and payment in cash are welcome.
A Westinghouse Electric Fan, dating from about 1910 -1915. This one is 12", with six brass blades, brass cage, and an oscillator. As long as you keep them lubricated, these 100 year old fans are pretty much indestructible.
Clavia Nord Lead 2 and Alesis QS 6.1 synthesizers in Heavenside Labs Studio 2, 2004.
The alesis is one of those standard boards you find in a studio. It has all the right sounds- none of them perfect, but all of them close enough for good music. I like them because the operating system is easy to scroll about in, and the sound banks contain the kind of stuff I need- good pianos, organs, and rhodes... decent synths, decent pads, decent string and weird sounds, good percussion. Of course, I thought this until I heard a Yamaha Motif for the first time and changed my pants (after seeign the price tag that is).
The Nord Lead is an analog synth for the Bob Moogs and Keith Emmerson's out there. There is no effects unit, and no special modern features like a 1000 preset smart arpeggiator or a KAOS pad. This is pure analog, or pure analog modeling as it were... just oscillators and sound generators, how all modern virtual analogs should be. The Nord Lead, unlike, say a Microkorg or Virus Indigo, is really meant for a pianist who plays synthesizer, not a DJ who uses VST's in an industrial or techno band. I'm of course not trying to insult DJ's or techno artists, it just seems that many people have a Nord in their arsenal just to say they have it, without really utelizing the beautiful sounds that one can generate with a bit of tweaking.
I've owned about 2 dozen synths in the past decade, ranging from old digitals Casio CZ3000's and Ensoniq ESQ1's up to more modern stuff like roland JP8000 and Korg Trinity, and old analogs like MonoPoly, Micromoog, Polysix, and then some. I prefer the simple stuff, like the Juno 6/60/106 and the Korg MonoPoly/Polysix, where the waveform creation is ovbious and well laid-out. All this scrolling through menus and setting up presets that you need to do onboard the computer OS in a Fantom or Triton is just frustrating to me. I was raised on a Fender Rhodes.
My favorite synth of all time is the Juno 106. My favorite device with an AC plug and piano keys is the 76 Fender Rhodes.
This is AN-TPS-1B in full "battle-dress"!. Apparently it was designed primarily for use on naval boats, but converted for our use on the "back" of a lorry. Here is what Wiki has to say about it. "The Lashup Radar Network was a temporary post-war United States system for air defense surveillance that initially used WWII equipment. Improved search radars included the Western Electric AN/TPS-1B Radar, which was first used for Lashup in 1948 . . . " In fact the gear was really portable - it could be erected ("lashed-up") within an hour and dismanted equally as quickly.
Unwiped windscreen rain in the dark.
One area of automotive technology that is lacking.
There must be a better method other than dragging a strip of rubber over the surface.
Mary Anderson (1866–1953) was an American real estate developer, rancher, viticulturist and inventor of the windshield wiper blade. In November 1903 Anderson was granted her first patent for an automatic car window cleaning device controlled inside the car, called the windshield wiper.
Anderson's invention of the windshield wiper is mentioned in The Simpsons, during a debate between Marge Simpson and her husband and son, Homer and Bart, about gender equality:
Marge: "Well, a woman also invented the windshield wiper!"
Homer: "Which goes great with another male invention, the car!" [high-fives Bart]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Anderson_(inventor)
A system to remove rain and snow from a windshield was patented by Tokyo-based Motoda Electronics Co. Ltd. in 1988. The device, called an "ultrasonic wiper," was to consist of vibration-generating oscillators on the top and bottom of the windscreen designed to push rain and snow in particular directions. According to the Sunday Times, it is not thought to have gone into production.
Modern military aircraft are fitted with a similar system.
Low voltage vacuum tubes, DAF96 & DAF91. Heater voltage.. 1.4v, Plate.. 70v.
Many years ago I used these tubes to construct a GDO (Grid Dip Oscillator) used to indicate resonance of Antennas - Transmission lines - or other tuned circuits of my Ham Radio system.
Sommerkamp is a "badged" name for Yaesu.
Sommerkamp imported rebranded Yaesu equipment into Europe in the early 1970s, giving them their own model numbers.
Two bipolar transistors (oscillator and buffer), feeding a valve (tube) buffer amplifier before going off to the 2nd mixer.
Yaesu called this radio the FRDX-400.
These are the only solid state active devices in the receiver, the remainder of the circuitry is thermionic valve (tube) technology.

“Oscilating Pusher Engine at Parker, Lord & Co Ltd, Cotton Manufacturers, Middleton.
This is not an F Wightman original, but had been drawn specially for G Watkins of Bath University; from a very old drawing from Parker, Lord & Co Ltd Cotton Weavers of Middleton. The original will be added to the county archives as it could well be a Scott & Hodgson. FW has drawn in the crank and trunnion pedestals to make it more complete. It is possible S&H built the original beam engine at Parker Lord as they did all their engine & gearing jobs. The oscillating pusher would assist an overloaded beam making the whole a compound by exhausting from high press. 13”/4'-6” oscillator to larger cylinder of beam (now low press). S&H later built the modern vertical compound which replaced the beam & oscillator. The new engine was like diamond at Royton. O/No 545 P.Lord Date?

My father works at a Professor (and now President) at Fairleigh Dickinson University and in the 80s they closed their music department so he took some stuff home including this synth. Neither of us really knew how cool it was at the time. It goes without saying it's sentimental value is worth is more than even it's super sound.

Sergeevich is a theremin. This prototype has 2 Hartley oscillators, one stabilized with a vacuum tube crystal and a SA612-based mixer. Pitch null is tuned with a LED (yellow) used as varicap.
35 2.2nF@10KV capacitors, two in series to double the voltages makes a total of 38.5nF @ 20kV
The wiring needs a bit of love, but until I can baseline the performance (using an O-scope that is currently still in the mail) I don't want to start tweaking anything.
One option to further decrease the discharge duration would be to break the cap bank into 3 sections in series and run the entire system at 30kV instead of 20kV. This is entirely possible and would only take a slight tweaking of the main oscillator parameters.
This series of 3 photos is from an audio experiment. Direct-Stream Digital, DSD, is the digital audio format that is the basis for the SACD. The Tascam DA-3000 is a new recorder which uses this format. An artifact of this recording method is ultrasonic distortion. These images provide an idea of what this distortion looks like.
A 1 kHz sine wave was generated by the internal oscillator in an Otari 5050 at a level of 0 dBVU. This signal was applied to a Hewlett-Packard 120B oscilloscope setup for a vertical displacement of 10 mV/cm and horizontal sweep of 250 u-sec/cm. The crest of the sine wave is shown. Note how clean this sine wave appears. The distortion as measured on a Hewlett-Packard 130B distortion analyzer was about 0.3 %. This signal was then digitized using DSD 2X on the Tascam DA-3000 and converted back to analog on the Tascam DA-3000. Note how there is now high frequency ultrasonic distortion of about 10 mv peak-to-peak being carried by the 1 kHz sine wave. A distortion measurement gave a value of about 2 %. A Krohn-Hite 3202R low pass filter was swept down to a cutoff of 70 kHz to bring the sine wave reasonably back to the shape of the straight analog signal. This cutoff is consistent with filters used for this purpose.
These measurements were performed on antique instrumentation I have restored as shown in the photo of the relay rack. The 120B and 130B are both vacuum tube instruments. I can not say these measurements of of high quantitative quality. However, it does illustrate the presence of the expected ultrasonic distortion present in this recording method. I will be checking to see if this distortion finds its way through the power amplifier to the speakers and if so, will consider using an audio shelving filter during playback.

An original Interactive Art Sculpture designed and created by MRISAR’s R&D Team.
PHOTONIC SPECTRUM: This art sculpture utilizes a series of IR. emitters and detectors along with photo resistors to control a complex sound synthesizer. The sound synthesizer consists of two oscillators which work in unison by resonating at specific intervals dependent on the signals from the sensors. The sculpture features acrylic inside of aluminum columns to house the sensors and lights that react to the presence of a user's hands. One or two people can operate the Photonic Spectrum at a time. The geometry of the exhibit accents an otherworldly appeal that will excite the visitor’s interest. To use the exhibit a visitor needs to gesture with their hands between the columns. Depending on the position of their hands the exhibit can produce sounds ranging from the high frequency range and down to a low rumbling bass. The exhibit demonstrates sound synthesis, sensors and light control. The overall size of the exhibit is approximately 72” high by 36” wide by 33” deep.
In 2010 MRISAR, (a family business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.
2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.
3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.
4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.
5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.
6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.
7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.
We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs. We also provide our own Educational Kits & Materials for K thru 12/College & University level curriculums.
Our Exhibit Sales Customers include World-Class Science Centers, Museums, Universities, NASA, Royalty, Foreign & Domestic Governments, the Film Industries for inclusion in media productions, etc. We specialize in Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperated devices.
Our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR, ROMAN, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics (IFR), etc. Our 1990's circa, original innovative R & D in "Facial Feature Controlled Technology" and "Artificial Sense of Touch Technology" (Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled), has helped pioneer those fields! We were the only company in the world to be awarded an entire chapter regarding our work in the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) “World Robotics; Service Robotics, 2011”.
