US National Anthem on 7 Credit Card Machines Video

My alternative to floppy disk music: credit card machine music! The devices play the national anthem of the USA by printing paper.

It took some time to find some other odd instruments that can play the US anthem as well as floppy drives. Finally, the solution was credit card machines. They use stepper motors to move the thermal paper. Just like floppy drives use stepper motors to move the magnetic read/write head.

Thanks to the stepper motors card machines can be tuned accurately, but I'm also happy with the fact that the machines actually do something clearly visible while playing the notes. Even the thermal paper itself adds a cool visual effect. But creative use of the paper also makes many kinds of choreographies possible.

About the Site 🌐

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥

Origins of the Idea 🌱

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠

Challenges Faced 🤔

Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.

Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍

Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️

The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.

About YouTube 📺

YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟

Content and Users 🎵

Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.

While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.

Monetization and Impact 🤑

As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
