TAMAGO EGG

Hello
A message from Holland.
As you know my hobbies building machines that simplify life with a large dose of humor.
Now I ran into the following.
Nowadays everyone has a smartfoon that one hold 12 hours a day.
Do you know "the Borg" from startrek, within a year or 5 the smartfoons are integrated in our children. Like the Borg , "Resistance is futile" and “You will be assimilated”

Similarly me children, sitting in the room, endless tapping the tamago egg app.
Completely useless entertainment and so the idea was born.




The “nxt1engineer - tamago tapping machine” a useful machine that solves the total useless tamago app within 37 hours.

May by you can help me wake up the world. Put it on a blog.
Let me no

Best regards
Jan Gerritsen

I like it very much. a classic example of two systems keeping each other occupied. Allowing the owner to do creative things.
The end is intriguing. This deserves more attention.

Haha, that's funny!

i device screens (like most modern smart phones and tablets) use capacitive touch screens, so how did you make the screen "feel" the legos? Are those lego rubber pieces all it takes?

On the film you will see 2 foils under the rubber part, the foil is electostatic (bags from hdd, prints and so).
The static foil is connect to ground of the ipod (metal baqcksite)
This works verry good.

the video is blocked because of copyright protection laws (content by UMG, probably background music, I guess).
Can you pls upload a video without music?
(I have no idea what you are talking about and what's going on there...)
