A pacemaker.
What to do, trigger device?

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
Do those things react to any external stimuli, such as hormone flood or electrical impulse? Probably not. A firm 90 BPM or somesuch?
Fixed clocks get boring, but you could feed it into some set up that shifts/evolves with counting up beats and some variable sources like barometric pressure, outside temperature, lumens, etc.
I'd be thinking along the lines of analog computing.

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
Reminds me of an article I read about a doctor who reclaims hardware like this to sell to third world countries. Crematories have to remove them before cremation.
I imagine these would be hard to modify or that is it would be hard to open them

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
Yeah, I would expect dead simple with redundancy. Not a lot of angles to explore.
It is conceptually interesting though. That said, I would expect actual application to be tethered to the mundane, unless extraordinary efforts along support lines are executed.

An old favorite and a classic noise generating system that I'm going to deploy for Halloween

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
I do believe these have some way to remotely monitor and adjust them without removing them from the person?
Was this in somebody's body?

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
Wow...cool!
So I not some gear head and my soldering sucks but....maybe it could be circuit bent?
Pacemaker Schematics: The schematics of the pacemaker electronics illustrating
a) the clockwork's micro generator...output?
b) a bridge rectifier
c) a buffer capacity
d) a pacemaker stimulus...input?

I might have to keep my eyes out for VideoNow discs in the future...

Re: Experimental approaches to alternative gear.
Old news for those who know me, but I dug through some old photos recently and found a few gems, including
- A record made from cardboard (just noisy textural loops):
- Half a recorder with a contact mic stuck to it:
- DIY neanderthal tape echo:
