At all times there were inventors-practitioners and inventors-cranks. The latter hit the world with no less amazing inventions, here only practical benefit from them was not enough, but because such “discoveries” were more like creative imagination or even art than technological progress.
Such creative impulses include a printer-robot. Spanish inventor-enthusiast Ivan Miranda. This is about a mechanism invented by him, capable of creating texts and drawings on beach sand. The principle of operation of this robot is approximately the following same as a matrix printer, that is, above a flat sand surface, as above a sheet of paper, the carriage moves (in this case on wheels), which “prints” a given texture with dots or figure.
A test of a beach robot that you can look at video demonstrates the principle of the robot printer more than accurately and convincing. The only thing that had to be corrected was in some cases, speed up shooting, because the device is working Ivan Miranda is still too slow. However, the inventor promises Create future models with faster print speeds.
Internet users mainly related to the invention spanish enthusiast with coolness because they did not see him no practical use, except as a tool for entertainment, and even then it can only afford in the future a rich man who, as they say, has nowhere to give money.
On the other hand, the commentator notes under the nickname John, such experience can be indirect evidence of who created how drawings in the Nazca desert, and not only there. The principle, apparently, is that the same – pampering, creativity for pleasure, not having no practical purpose and benefit. That’s just the art in the sand Miranda will sink into oblivion the very next day, and giant drawings Nazca Plateau – hundreds of generations will survive. Who created them I think for scientists it will remain a mystery, but why, it seems, Now it’s clear – but just like that …
