LOUDER THAN BOMBS DAY 4. THE TEA TROLLY.

Tea Trolly has given her all this week. Louise bought her from a junk shop, and I made Situationalist cloths. The print is taken from the a Situationalist diagram, which links ideas of experimental behaviour, psychogeography, architecture, creating situations etc; which are all things we should be thinking about on our tea breaks.Trolly comes down in the lift, and has her own pathway marked out in red tape around the gallery. She's slowing down a bit because fleece gets stuck in her wheels.Louise made this film to show us a minute in the life of Tea Trolly.

LOUDER THAN BOMBS DAY 3. OVERTIME!

Working overtime, the beer came out and so did our friends from Soho. I explained the fluctuating voltage problem to David.
We burnt a lot of calories dancing, so Louise had a lot of data to collect from the pedometers.
Nervous Stephen pulled out all the tunes we needed and Hilary led the dancing line, round and round the tea trolly circuit.
There was devistation...
A good time was had by all,
and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Jackie, who makes everything run smooth and safe at Stanley Picker Gallery.

LOUDER THAN BOMBS. SPINNERS.

Jake came all the way from the Isle of Wight!

LOUDER THAN BOMBS DAY 3. BUCKETS.

Buckets lowered for dying with Kool Aid. Water taken from upstairs kitchen. DK Swaledale dyed orange and blackberry.

LOUDER THAN BOMBS DAY 2. FACTORY FLOOR PHOTOS.

LOUDER THAN BOMBS DAY 2. FRAZZLE'S YARN.

Frazzle is hooked on the drop spindle. I challenged him to stay up all night spinning, and I think he might have done just that!He's aiming for a cardigan, and at this rate he'll get there.

LOUDER THANK BOMBS DAY 2. FLUCTUATING VOLTAGE PROBLEMS.

This is me feeling a great sense of achievement when we thought we had got the bike power generator working. It ran smooth for about 30 seconds!
Generating the power is fine. We measured it with the multimeter and the bike is sending out between 10-14 volts. What we don't understand is why the voltage is fluctuating when it comes out of the DC-DC converter. It is meant to be a steady flow. There's a little screw which we are meant to finely tune, and we finely tuned it all afternoon and got nearly nowhere.When the power reaches the DC-AC Inverter, the protection light comes on and it beeps loudly. The electric spinning wheel is turning, but intermittently.
It was kind of frustrating, but it's great to be part of a team of people, passionately trying to solve a problem. We decided there was something wrong with the DC-DC converter.
