Jingle Bells Played With Graphics Card, Santa Wonders Why

As if the entire office full of guitar-controlled lights wasn't enough to make any holiday complete, some enterprising geek has taken it upon himself to give you a rendition of Jingle Bells played on his graphics card heat sink. He probably wont debut at Carnegie Hall, but I'll give him points for effort.

Here's a formula one car playing "When the Saints Go Marching In," complete with blue notes from the exhaust ports.

How about an industrial motor?

I heard a story while I was working at a drive system design/assembly firm about a fellow who, back in the early days of digital drive systems, took a tape recorder, hooked its output up to an analog input on the drive, and used the signal of his voice on the tape to modulate the torque command to the motor, thus resulting in the motor vibrating out the sound of his voice.

Of course, the better stories I heard while I was there involved runaway motors tumbling across the shop floor (they're supposed to be bolted to the floor) or rotors breaking off through the motor housing and lodging in the shop roof. Fortunately, a greater understanding of digital drive systems and better safety practices made the union grievance the only scary thing on the shop floor while I was there.

How about an industrial motor?

Or an F1 motor? For example, Renault:

Here you go then: Tempest For Eliza.

You can use your (CRT) monitor to generate tones that can be received on an AM radio. It shouldn't be a stretch to make it play Jingle Bells.
