88HUX's Profile

I have rarely seen anything as stupid, some tiny percentage of a car is adapted to fit a pre-existing bicycle. This is little to do with function and will do nothing to aid recycling but the sort of people who would buy such a thing are as likely to display it as ride it. This is about art more than the environment.

well said

Less angular? But there are more of them per shape so shouldn't that be more angular or not as sharp? Perhaps I am being obtuse about this, but it is not a reflex response.

you haven't defined better are you listening to it or looking at it? you can get some ugly turntables if that is your benchmark. If you want to look beyond the myth read this:

I think Anna doesn't understand the principle, Hooke's law written in 1660 states that the force exerted by the spring is proportional to the extension. Carwardine used each spring or pair of springs to act against the weight of each part of the lamp. If you have an older one which used higher quality springs (which followed Hooke's law better) you don't need to use the friction adjusters, it balances in equipoise, in whatever postion you put it. The retro-industrial chic Jielde lamp needs to be clamped in place and is not in balance. I suppose the Richard Sapper Tizio which both balances (by counterweight) and uses the arms as conductors is too last-year.
