Introduction

This spring music box transforms spring sound into a piece of music.

Proposal

This is a spring music box. By using different lengths of springs to make different pitches. I use an Arduino to control the speed of the motors. And the motors can drive the gears to hit the spring to create sound. I changed the number of teeth to change the rhythm. And combined these tones into a song with rhythm. This video includes two sections, after the first section, I push more spring into the music to play the second section.
