Made from John Deere parts...

You will need your speakers on for this one.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS BEFORE, YOU ARE IN FOR A REAL TREAT
Please note, the balls don't fall on the floor, they return to the machine.
See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.
This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa .
Yes, farm equipment!
It took the team a combined 13,029 hours (6.26 years) of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video.
It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Yeah, I got it in an email and just had to share it. The bloke that designed it is either a genius or a nut case. lol

either a genius or a nut case

I rarely see those as being mutually exclusive, or even mutually distant

I'm confused. It's an annimation so how is it made from John Deere parts and irrigation parts?
