Hot Dog Machine (Experimental Lab Setup)

YouTube via drewtoothpaste. Previous synth vids by drewtoothpaste.

"Shown in this video is a lab-scale thermal depolymerization unit. It uses steam to break food waste up into its components. We don't use moldy or rotten food for this, but leftovers are perfect, and you can use anything from meat and eggs to coffee grounds, vegetable peels/greens, bread, etc.

The demonstration I did in this video was using takeout rice and tomato sauce with meat, which were leftovers from two separate meals. The resulting hot dog from a feed of this size and type(135 g, mostly grains) is typically around 40g. The rest of the mass ends up in a liquid waste stream of amino acids and simple sugars, which makes an excellent fertilizer for the garden. There is a bit of waste oil/fat left over, which is simply thrown out, but in a larger scale, could certainly be used as a biodiesel source.

I've set this unit up to make hot dogs by incorporating a molding unit. The high-protein DC stream is primarily used to form the hot dogs, and I currently have the unit set to add 9% fat and 2% carbohydrates. The liquid mixture is heated and agitated to form a hot-dog slurry, using the steam exiting the decomposition process, in order to remove some of the latent water.

The mineral content of the feed leaves with the waste amino acids and sugars. Inside the machine is a 250mL vessel with a solution of salt and natural flavorings that is added to the slurry immediately before the molding stage, to replace the mineral content and adjust the taste.

The finished product is nearly indistinguishable from a store-bought hot dog, and hey... at least you know what it's made of.

I'm not a chemist (professionally) anymore, but I do make comics every day. You can find the comics at http://www.toothpastefordinner.com and http://www.marriedtothesea.com . You'll like them. Even if you don't like hot dogs." Oberheim Xpander

cassiel's Gearhead Space

I was talking to drew of drewtoothpaste (see some of his synth videos previously posted here) about MIDI boxes with preferably two MIDI inputs that allowed you to input MIDI Clock and note ON/OFF, that could then output a MIDI or CV stream of arpeggiated notes. We talked about using MIDI mergers, the Oberheim Perf series came to mind, and specifically the Oberheim Cyclone. I did a quick search on it and found cassiel's Gearhead Space. I realized I hadn't put up a post on cassiel yet, so here it is. Do check it out. It's an excellent resource with quite a few synths listed. You can read about the Cyclone here. If anyone has any suggestions on a synth or MIDI box that can do the above, feel free to comment.

Throwing Fire

YouTube via ronaldjenkees | August 05, 2008

"Throwing Fire is on my 2nd CD, Disorganized Fun: https://www.ronaldjenkees.com/mp3-store/ SUPER FUN TIME WITH THIS JAM!!!! Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you liked it. Kindof a rough cut, but it's always fun. This video is dedicated to the band Papa Roach for letting me check out their studio and giving me a place to stay in LA. Those are some hard-working rockers and good guys. I got cold chills listening to the songs they're working on for their new album. I think it's coming out really soon. My friend Sam gave me the hat I'm wearing in this vid. It's made of 100% recycled material. Can't beat that. Here's their site: http://www.livity.org I'm using FL Studio software to make the beat in the background and a Korg Triton Le keyboard on top, Motif XS8 on bottom."

Money Snow Object

"CGS 01 Sub Oscillator / Harmonic Sequencer module and a Korg Kaoss 3 pad. The Cat Girl Synth module is fed with two Q106 oscillators in 32' octave. One oscillator (B channel) is slowly LFO modified through the Linear Frequency input. The sub oscillator module is partially dis-functional but it was fun getting it to generate low frequency pulses to send to an envelope generator.
Other modules are a pair of Oakley Equinoxe phase shifters and an Synthetic Sound Labs 1310 Digital Delay. A Yusynth random gates occasionally pulsed a VCA to allow the pre envelope sound to slip through.

FYI, I switched the comments below for those that want to watch and wonder what a salty fisherman is before reading. Don't read below unless you want to know.

"I make comics at http://www.toothpastefordinner.com and http://www.marriedtothesea.com. If you're not doing anything tonight, why not make up a couple Salty Fishermen, and kick back for some internet videos and comics? You work hard. You deserve it.

A Salty Fisherman is a drink made from 1 tsp caviar and 2 oz chilled vodka. Substitute rum for the vodka if you're feeling extra salty."

"This remix was made with an MPC2500. Don't post the songs involved and ruin the surprise for others, please. You'd think this was common courtesy, the whole thing where you don't intentionally ruin someone else's surprise because you managed to see it before them... but, then again, this is YouTube, not Masterpiece Theatre.

I also make comics at http://www.toothpastefordinner.com and http://www.marriedtothesea.com. Won't you check those out?"
