So the resistance from the water determines note velocity? Pretty interesting concept. If someone were to combine some materials and that floating above the surface CES tech this could be interesting
Late comment, but yes it is fantastic. The same has already been done with air, it's called the pipe organ! I would like to see one done with fire... Maybe with different pulse jets that pulse at varying Hz and are activated by keys? I sorta want to do this now
I remember a tv docu about such a water organ instrument functioning like a perforated disc siren. They said it can never have individual notes go out of tune but only the whole instrument pitch depending on the disc rotation speed.
BTW, it's an established fact that if you smoke your breakfast, you're better able to think outside the box and make the kind of distant connections that lead to all sorts of breakthroughs, not to mention efficiently derived amusement.
Hello. Do you accept song requests? If you do, can you please play, & record, a song I am very familiar with, such as "“If We Hold On Together” by Diana Ross", on any of your hydraulophones in either 1080p HD or 4K UHD & upload it to UA-cam?
You fail at comprehension. This guy has invented an entirely new class of musical instruments. Whether an early example is a great instrument per se (or indeed, if any example ever is), is entirely beside the point. By the way, this guy is a modern DaVinci. Might wanna check out his eyewear. But then, from the tone of your comment, I deduce you're not the kind of person to be all that interested in reality, science, game-changing tech, etc... I bet you prefer a fog of ignorant smugness.
By far the most boring, clumsy, pointless instrument ever designed. But perfect for the easily amused who smoke breakfast and sit around waiting for their welfare checks.
All that water, yet the plants are dead af
He waters them plenty, but they hate his music. );

"Summer Time' - what else can you be playing on a hydraulophone in a green house in the middle of a hot summer day ;-)
I DON'T UNDERSTAND! How can a cyborg-man be around water like that without short circuiting!?!?!
This is so cool, glad I searched for this
Great video. Dr. Steve Mann is my hero, thanks for providing so much inspiration! :)
Beautiful music.
Synth sounds out of an acoustic instrument
Cool
I want to understand the physics of this

I think it sort of exists - the Pyrophone!
I just met Steve Mann today, what a boss!
how do you tune this thing!
just like any flute. You adjust the length

I am real late, but this is really cool!!
you think youre late?
@@red.red.red.red.red.red.red.9 do you also think?
pro tip : watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Kristopher Saul yup, I've been using flixzone} for months myself :)
@Kristopher Saul definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)
¿como se llama la canción?
That looks...kinda delicious.
Okay, but can you play it underwater??
air's been the driving force in musical instruments for millennia. See the flute, clarinet, bassoon, pop bottle...
Very interesting!

2:38 - 3:32 what song is that? I loved it as a little kid and for got the name.
ah ok. Thank you a lot.
xtrajunk Actually it's Summertime by George Gershwin.
Actually, it's Darude - Sandstorm
Also, it's a common chord progression that many people use.
+xtrajunk
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
watch?v=hRXb7K7k7bQ
cool, but homey needs a metronome to play to
amazing!!! how much does one of these things cost? Or are there any for sale? If not i would like to make one i just dont understand how it works.
Just make sure that when you do it you are in swim suit but in fireproof pants ;-)
He started to sound like General Ripper at the end there
Woo! Summertime by Gershwin.

This dude is for real on some other shit
what is the first song? its in the tip of my brain but i cant remember..
Summertime
super great!
Where do I buy one?
I think Steve Mann has sold a couple of those so either get in touch with him or with Ryan Janzen.
Singularity Weblog Okay. thanks
REally interesting. What would happen using boiling water??
Ypu would burn off your fingers

6 years late, but r/iamverysmart
@@starbeyxd haha yeah
2020 anyone?
2021
Can someone tell Steve that FUNtain's website was taken over by a weight-loss website?
What song was he playing? It seems familiar, but I can't place it.
hope you're still here, summertime was the first and house of the rising sun was the 2nd one.
Oh god these puns.
Nice going.
chi qui dopo il ideo di Space Valley 🙋🏽♂️
@TheGuy hey amico calmati
@TheGuy si fa per dire
cool
so...... a water flute
That is amazing 🙈
Spelunky loading screen: 01:09
looks like its leaking! someone should call a plumber !!!
Canada
The crying organ
Cool maybe water those plants
Yo wtf is this wizardrey
Cant spell worth shit
Are we really supposed to believe you didn't dub your voice in to pretend to be the interviewer? If so, maybe do a better job recording it next time.
U wasting water so please stop
