Private projects & fun stuff

Fourier project
Sixty Wheels is a Windows application for illustrating the concepts of Fourier Series, Fourier Transformation, Fourier Analysis, and Harmonic Analysis.
   
Harmonic Analyzer
My harmonic analyzer, probably the most simple mechanical harmonic analyzer in the world. Shame to have invented it 200 years too late. The photo shows the proof-of-concept model on the left side and a much more accurate model on the right side that was beatifully crafted by Tatja van Vark.
   
Soup spoon project
This page shows how to make a one-shot panorama using a soup spoon and a digital camera. A later version (not shown) supported streaming panoramic conversion with a web cam.
   
Java Chat Room project
Simple chat room applet which connects to a chat server running on Linux.
   
OutOfBrain
New kind of artificial intelligence based on graph rewriting agents.
   
OpenGL
Some screenshots of gears constructed with OpenGL.
   
Webcam barcode scanner
Screenshot of webcam barcode scanner program. A simple proof-of-concept program that scans streaming webcam images for bar codes (EAN-13), extracting ISBN numbers if present.
   
Scales
A scale that was calculated for Tatja van Vark's Switch Unit 207 as part of her Miniatures of H2S radar indicators, a calculation which involved some pretty complex differential equations. Another non-linear scale is shown which was calculated for Tatja van Vark's Harmonium.
   
Autostereograms
Recovered material from my first ever programming project: autostereograms.
   
RSFR-1
A robot I made for Rockingstone to compete in the Field Robot Event 2004 in Wageningen. The chassis is a modified 4x4x4 Tamiya TXT-1.
