This design suggests to me that it could work as a a meditation guide; I see several skewed perspectives in it, and the curves have a feel of water and bridges to them.
Perhaps I'll stare at it before going to bed and see if any interesting dreams appear.
It's occurred to me that I haven't posted here about my attempt on the Third Day of Christmas to make Harmonic Oscillation Pancakes!
My first thought was that I could have a dual spout pendulum by using two plastic bags like frosting bags, hung far enough on a stick so that there would be two lines of batter spiraling around a common pivot point, which itself would be swinging back and forth over the griddle.
The pendulum apparatus ended up looking like a found art installation from a beach-side hospital. I hadn't really put the thickness of the batter into my calculations, so instead of a steady stream of batter coming out in a line, it was more like a dribble of Jackson Pollock-esque micro-pancakes.
Part of the difficulty was that the batter was adhering to the sides of the bags and not really coming out. I abandoned the plastic bags for a yogurt container with a hole drilled through it. I had to drill the hole several times to widen it, and I ended up adding some more milk to the batter to try to thin it. The end result was closer to what I was aiming for, but still didn't deliver pancake batter as quickly as I would have liked.
By this time several hours had elapsed from initial pendulum setup to final yogurt container swing, and I could tell the mad-science cookery was getting on my family's nerves.
I think if I'd turned up the heat on the griddle a little more, the batter might have cooked and browned more quickly. I'll have to try with a larger hole in the pendulum, too -- or possibly a pendulum with two off-set holes that will allow me to have more interesting compound curves. Or maybe a balloon or air pump to provide pressure that would expel the batter out more quickly....
I can neither confirm nor deny that I might have eaten all the results myself.
