this is all sorts of cool. Very creative!

^^^^

LOVE this!! The "science" video is priceless. And your kid is going to have chops!

Reviving this thread so I can have a humble brag about my kid. 

The kid entered this in the science fair at his school and got first place.  Then entered it in the Territory science competition, and got first place there too. 

Then, it went to a national competition (Australia that is) and he found out today that it came in somewhere in the top 60 or so entries for the nation, and he was up against kids a few years older than him too.

So he's pretty happy with himself.  He got to have cake tonight to celebrate.   ;D

Time to start thinking what he can do for this year's project...

There's always this fun bit of madness: https://www.zvex.com/about-the-candela-vibrophase/

(or in slightly less absurd style: https://makezine.com/projects/make-33/optical-tremolo-box/ )

Ahh yeah, the optical tremolo.  We have already thought about doing one of those.  I've got an old Walkman CD player that is just begging to have a new life.

How about an R.O.U.S. (Reverb of Unusual Size)?

Maybe you could make a reverb out of a loaf of bread.  I kid but I'm blown away by the inventiveness of this project and this is my second look at an old thread.  I think my styrofoam balls on coat hangers around a light bulb as the solar system was pretty cutting edge when I was a kid.  Pretty caveman by today's standards.

What's the song he's playing in the first clip?  I know it, but I just can't place it...

Surfing with the alien, by Joe Satriani. 

It's what he's been learning lately, so I hear it about 10 times a day.   ;D
