I was asked to so a piece of art for the energy industry...<br>
<br>
What to do?<br>
<br>
What I was thinking was a power grid and you crank it to keep it running.<br>
It could be like a little town with lights (perhaps even a little car to<br>
drive around)..<br>
<br>
So the loads of the town would vary and of course you'd feel the load on<br>
the hand crank. When you stop cranking the town goes dark...<br>
<br>
I suppose it would be fairly easy to CNC a little town (famous last<br>
words)... what to include?<br>
<br>
