Do-nato

"What if we created a vacuum tube that could suck up people's money?"

"Awesome!"

And that gave way to the Do-nato

Project Goal

Create an interactive donation display that lets people place money in an intake opening and watch it get sucked in through a series of tubes and blinking lights, into a vortex of SYN Shop donations.

Design

  • Money intake to clear tubing leading to a container vessel with a vortex of money.
  • Sensor on the intake which triggers the donation cycle
  • Blinking lights along the tubing path

Resources

Several blowers were donated to SYN Shop which could possibly be used:
