The main objective for this week is to propsoe a final project and answer all the related queries of the project.
I am planing to make a water based music visualizer which makes water vibrate in certian pattern based on the music played.
The main purpose of the device is to give a mesmerizing optical illusion to the person viewing it. Movement of fluid is always amazing to watch . But whwn it does gravity defying illusions its even more mesmerizing.The main goal here is to fluctaute water flow according to the beats of music.
So first spiral would be to make a device which can fluctuate water using speaker at the same time pulsating the RGB LEDs to give a mesmerizing effect.
Several people have tried before hand in which most of it is droplet illusion and one project named aqurious which is extremly staisfying to watch but they are not tuned to move with music.
I want to make a reformation in the existing models by making it move with the beats of music. But even the reproduction is difficult since i am using speaker to produce frequency.
The components required are
THe materials required are
Most of the components and materials is provided by fablab inventory and some components can be salvaged from old speakers. THe body can be partialy assembled using press pit and by gluing.
And few materials should be purchased from outside.
One of my plans was to reduce the cost for the total build, so I would salvage what I can and fabricate what I can't. Most of the material can be taken from the inventory and only some material is required to be bought from outside.Overall for wxternal purchase it would be leass than 15 dollar.
Speaker magnet | 1 | salvaged |
water pump | 1 | $ 2 |
sound Amplifier | 1 | Salvaged |
Flexible water hose 5mm | 1 m | .2 $ |
Acrylic 3 mm | 3 sheets | Inventory |
PLA filament | Few meters | Inventory |
6x4" single sided copper board | 1 | inventory |
N chanel mosfet 30 A | 4 | Inventory |
RGB lED strip | 2 meter | Inventory |
Volatage regulator | 4 | Inventory |
Resistor | Inventory | |
Switch | 1 | Inventory |
20 Hz crystal | 1 | Inventory |
Terminal block | 4 | Inventory |
Since this is my first project which involves complicated processes i am not sure how far i can achieve my desired outcome. But i am confident that this project is possible. There are many things i need to master before like programing, board designing, 3d designing.
So for my minimum outcome i consider a visualizer which can produce effects with water, and in the best case scenario a music visualizer with speaker which fluctuates water with the music played.
