The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space

O'Neill, a road map for what the United States might do in outer space after the Apollo program, the drive to place a man on the Moon. It envisions large manned habitats in the Earth-Moon system, especially near stable Lagrangian points. Three designs are proposed: Island one (a modified Bernal sphere), Island two (a Stanford torus), and Island 3, two O'Neill cylinders. These would be constructed using raw materials from the lunar surface launched into space using a mass driver and from near-Earth asteroids. The habitats were to spin for simulated gravity and be illuminated and powered by the sun. The book won the 1977 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science.[1] Illustrations[edit] In popular culture[edit] Many of the concepts illustrated in The High Frontier can be seen in the early series of the anime franchise Mobile Suit Gundam, which depicts a world where humans have migrated into space colonies.

Modified turntable translates the rings on a piece of wood into piano music.

This Record Player Turns Trees Into Music

Designed by German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck, this one of a kind record player revolutionizes the classic vinyl playing turntable. By using circular cross-sections of trees rather than vinyl records, the "Years" player gives us an idea of what music would sound like if mother nature was a composer. As one might expect from a chopped down tree, the music is fairly dark and ominous. Unlike traditional turntables, the Years player utilizes a digital camera and light where you would normally find the needle. Made in New York City. Issei Sagawa - Weird Encyclopedia.
