"Dueling Flowers" as my professor called them were a lot of work. The idea seemed simple enough, make a trough full of moving flowers, but making it work was a big mess. The end product was a machine you can crank that makes flowers move as if there is a breeze.
You can see down into the trough some of the sophisticated part of the project. You really have to see it in action to get the full effect, Lately I have been thinking of hooking it to a motor, right now it is hand cranked.
After working countless hours on cams and what not on the inside of the trough, I decided I wanted all that hard work to be seen so I covered the trough with Plexiglas. You can see the individual cranks that rotate on the center shaft and the wood "washers" that spin when it is cranked.
