According to Tim Blair in Oz, the Asiatech folks have programmed
their F-1 engine to play music. I quote:

First you'll hear a 10-cylinder, 750 horsepower Asiatech F1 engine being warmed up. Then it performs a rousing version of "When The Saints Come Marching In", to the delight of assembled pit staff and journalists.

Here's how the magic was achieved (technical/musical details via F1 Racing magazine):

As we all know, a V10 engine produces five combustions per
revolution at a frequency per second of 60/(5 x revs per minute),
which equals 12/rpm. Therefore, to work out the revs you need to hit a particular musical note, you multiply the note's frequency by 12. To play a 440Hz 'A', for example, you need 5,280rpm. For 'C', use 3,139rpm, for 'F' 4,191rpm, and so on.

Asiatech's French technicians (the engine, despite its name, is
derived from a Peugeot design) simply programmed their engine to run through the various rev/note ranges in the correct sequence.

 

im still shaking my head...............wtf man

 

Cattle?

 

Years ago i had made a C++ app that makes your hard drive make music. Downside is, kiss your hard drive goodbye after the 1 minute chatter.

 

 

LOL that sounds like crap.

 

Maybe if I took a hit of I would further understand this post..

 

Thanks for the link. I'd heard about the F1 engine playing "Oh When the Saints" but couldn't find it.
