The Useless Machine

Purpose of the project

A useless Machine is a machine which has no functions, it could be something fun or something looks fancy. My idea for this project is to make a piece of art which can bring people moods up and make them feel calm. In that way, the useless machine do have functions.

Inspriation

I took the idea from our daily life, an electronic fun. In the summertime, we often use electronic fun to cool down, when we are sleeping, the sound of the electronic fun does not bother at all. On the contrary, it makes us feel calm.

After I got rough sketches done, I listed up all the materials I need for this project, and I did the model sketches on Illustrator.

After I built the circuit, the project is halfway done. The last thing I did is building the actual machine, and test it.
