Neil Downie sent our class some pictures of his travels and recent projects:
“Me with a project which will be in my new book, based on Leonardo’s portable bridge – it’s a bridge without nails, screws, or glue -just a bunch of thick sticks.”
“In Jardin, the coffee-growing area of Colombia, South America, this January – I’m reading Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle, which is all about his visit to South America.”
“My colleague Ben Inman and I, showcasing the Pneumomagical Clock in a show at the Newcastle Life Centre (UK) where we demonstrated 20 different sorts of clock mechanisms to visitors using pendulums, pistons, bubbles, neon tubes, airbags, Kleenex… all the way down to the atoms of an atomic clock.”
