Blendie: A growl-activated blender 15 Nov 2007

Blendie is a blender built by Kelly Dobson that works when you growl at it:

"People induce the blender to spin by sounding the sounds of its motor in action. A person may growl low pitch blender-like sounds to get it to spin slow (Blendie pitch and power matches the person) and the person can growl blender-style at higher pitches to speed up Blendie. The experience for the participant is to speak the language of the machine and thus to more deeply understand and connect with the machine."

Check out the video clip below to see Blendie in action:

Genius! Where can we get one?
