         --Hopefully someone will post better photos but here's what I've
found so far. This contraption was built by a guy who teaches at deAnza
College in Silicon Valley and was on display at the Bay Area Makers Faire
this past weekend:

        --As far as I can tell it's more sculpture than anything else, but

hover a bit. Bottom line: it's just a meticulously fabricated bit of whimsy.
