Quick metal update!

So I ended up sourcing scrap-ish metal from Arlo (located on S. Industrial near the Re-Use center and such). This is a great place to find pretty nicely sized pieces for very little money - the picture you see below shows about 30 dollars worth of metal.

See ruler for scale - convenient accident.

For my project, I need all of this metal to move in response to magnetism. So following the EMvibe convention, I've glued small neodymium magnets using supposedly all-material Gorilla Glue. We'll see if this will hold up! I'll do another post when the whole system is plugged in together. 


I attached as many as I had reasonably sized clamps.
Finally, here is a picture of my first implementation of the LM1876 audio amplifier IC. With the help of Professor Gurevich, this has changed significantly and will be functional very soon!
