Ring Around the Ringer

This  creation is meant as a celebration of engineering ingenuity, a tribute to the beauty of outdated technology and a reminder that innovation is not always about the newest and shiniest gadgets. 

The control circuit is my own design, allowing one phone line to ring 8 phones in sequential order. This is done by rectifying the ringer signal(about 90v sign wave) and regulating it down to 5v to act as the clock signal for a simple counter chip. This means that each period of ringing in a normal ringer sequence acts as a single clock 'pulse' advancing to the next phone. The counter chip then in turn drives transistors which then in turn drive two poll relays which connect and disconnect the two conductors form each phone to the active phone line. This means they all have there turn ringing in order and if you snag the corect phone as it is ringing any one can be used to have a normal phone call. 

Rand Rainbow

A blend of industiral and technological design, with a recycled welded steel candle holder as its structure. When the RGB LEDs are lit,  the wall iluminates in a mesmerizing display of color. The LEDs are positioned one in each tealight holder, creating a stunning rainbow effect that cycles through different hues in a psuedo random fashion.
