Electronic noise maker in a pill bottle

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, May 29, 2008 3:09 PM | permalink

I like the look of this electronic noise maker built inside a pill bottle.

I found this pill capsule because someone in my house needs horse pills, evidently. I basically drilled the holes, used Epoxy to secure the battery holder to the speaker, and crammed everything in there. I love one night projects.

Nice!

In a very similar vein, I used a large-ish pill bottle from some pills my dog had to take to make myself a DIY harmonica microphone. Pics here:

You might have caught this project in the special section of "Make" magazine entitled "Ticket to Gitmo".

But can it produce the brown note?

"I found this pill capsule because someone in my house needs horse pills, evidently. "

Kind of a lot of hostility there. Are we to take that as they are a drug abuser or on a drug for a condition you simply don't or won't understand? In any event, I don't think it should have been written about like that. Oh well. Still a cool gizmo.
