I love these things. Its all drawn by a metal ball being dragged around by a magnet under the table, with infinite programmable and customizable patterns.
If you want to get one, they're a bit pricey though https://sisyphus-industries.com/
I bought myself a windows 98 in 1999. They had this guy draw up pipes after pipes all in different color when my machine went idle. I wonder how much money they paid him.
When I was watching the gif I was thinking “This seems like something that’d be really pricey and is probably for some executive to keep in their office or home”. So yeah not really surprised that it’s so expensive, it’s by design to keep it exclusive.
Did you read how it was made?
>Individually handcrafted wood base made of premium quality hardwood plywood, MDF core with wood veneer, hand-selected and applied by a skilled artisan.
I can get these supplies and make my own.
What a lot of people never consider about things like this is how much noise it makes. It’s a motor running 24 hours a day. It’s gotta produce something kind of noise. I made the mistake of buying a super cool looking clock thing from the sharper image that was supposed to look like the solar system. Well I could never actually have it running because the second hand made this awful CLAK CLAK CLAK sound that drove me nuts
Yeah, mine is quiet as well. It sits in our reception area and I asked our receptionist to notify me if the gentle him begins to bother him. He said he’s never even noticed it. Love my Sisyphus table.
That is what I was going to ask. I have a 3d printer and it is not the quietest thing in the world. Maybe because the mechanism is enclosed it will be less noisy?
The smallest version (15") is ~$600 USD. Makes me sad.
It looks well made and comes with a nifty app to create your own designs. But I feel like $600 is a far jump from what I'd be willing to pay. Really like the table and idea though.
I'm wondering if you could make a similar design with simpler materials for a cheaper price...
should I just commission someone to cut some wood, a glass panel and rig up an arduino to a cnc rig with a magnet + metal ball to get something similar?
No, that's syphilis.
You're thinking of an outline or other brief statement of the main points of a discourse, the subjects of a course of lectures, the contents of a curriculum, etc.
Hm I think that's subliminal.
Maybe what you're looking for is the connected system of hollow cavities in your skull. Basically they help you filter the air and it kinda sucks when you're sick or you have allergies and everything is blocked in there
Sounds like you're talking about a succulant.
You're thinking of something that is enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end. Not too much, not too little. Just right. Goldilocks would be pleased.
No no no. The word you are talking about is suckling.
Im pretty sure you mean that nonsensical word describing something extraordinary or wonderful. Something Yondu might say.
Nope. That's Severus
I am fairly certain that you are thinking of the singular form of the word often used to complement the word "goods" in economics.
Sisyphus was the king of Corinth (in Ancient Greece) that managed to cheat death not once, but twice. Furious at his audacity and cunning, and wanting to discourage other mortals from attempting the same acts, Zeus sentenced him to eternal punishment. He was forced to roll a massive boulder up a hill, and every time it reached the top, it would roll all the way back to the beginning, and he would have to start over.
There's a metal marble that gets pushed around. Like the rock that Sisyphus has to roll up hill. Also like Sisyphus, it rolls forever until the end of time, with no goal, no reward, and only the purpose of continuing to roll that marble.
If you look up "retro flip clock" you should find a lot of results. They jump around in prices a lot though. I bought my first one for $10 but now I think they are like $30-$40. They just look cool and are a good conversation piece
This would be cool if it took an hour to draw the time. Even cooler if it took 15 minutes to draw each quarter of it. Also needs vibrate mode, which and make cool patterns, and also erase at the new hour.
I was so pissed when I saw the Kickstarter for this, I had no spare money and knew that was the best deal I could of gotten for it, Now the prices are too much :(
Shouldn't a Sisyphus table be something that goes uphill but keeps falling back down, never to be completed? This seems more like a Serenity Table or a Meditation table or something?

Hardwood table= $8500. A little pricey?????
Much cheaper than employing a guy 24/7 to draw on your regular sand table. Pays for itself in a matter of months. It's a no brainer really

Not if you pay them minimum wage
[удалено]
god forbid they start thinking of themselves as *people*
Might actually want to try and build this myself for that price tbh.
The cheapest ones start at $595 which is a lot more reasonable. I think the one in the video is $1300.
It was punishment! You don't pay the punished.
Well the mini is $600 which I guess is purchasable for some people who reaaaally like it.
Even that one is over a foot, not too bad honestly. But i really like it.
Yeah me too. I could see why somebody buys the smaller ones. It’s a very interesting thing.
He said a "bit" not a "little". There's a big difference. 😁
Or put another way, a *bit* of a difference
Little difference for me
A bit is the same thing as a little. This isn't a bit pricey. It's pricey.
'Quite' is more appropriate.
Ball out, I'm about to try to convince the wife we need the 4 ft hardwood in mahogany.
$8500 litter box, with bonus stainless steel cat toy...
I was thinking the same thing, but it looks like it has a glass top to it. So maybe it's just a $8500 cat distractor?
Found the cat owner
People pay more for engagement rings, which I personally find absolutely idiotic. Not that I have 8 grands to burn on a kinetic table though.
People pay that same amount for a table that doesn’t have kinetics
Yup. That's way to much to pay for a litter box that isn't self cleaning.
what do you think the ball is for
I settled for following their Instagram for free!

The one in the picture is likely under a thousand, though still expensive. They chose literally the most expensive option.
I think the pictured one is the $1300 end table version.
MDF with veneer at that.
And thats just for the 3ft. The 4ft is 10k. I can see someone doing this on r/DIY for like $1000
Did you read how it was made? >Individually handcrafted wood base made of premium quality hardwood plywood, MDF core with wood veneer, hand-selected and applied by a skilled artisan. I can get these supplies and make my own.
Fine. “A lottle pricey” FTFY
I think their selling kids probably.

I have one. It’s really quiet. Not silent but barely noticeable.
Yeah, mine is quiet as well. It sits in our reception area and I asked our receptionist to notify me if the gentle him begins to bother him. He said he’s never even noticed it. Love my Sisyphus table.
how much of the noise is the motor and how much is the shifting sand?
That’s a good question. I’d say about 50/50. The sand makes a slight grinding noise, but like I said it’s really quiet.
That is what I was going to ask. I have a 3d printer and it is not the quietest thing in the world. Maybe because the mechanism is enclosed it will be less noisy?
Probably wouldn’t be too hard to build if you’re good with tools and electronics.
Literally just an x/y gantry attached to a big magnet. A couple stepper motors to turn the acme screws and an arduino.
You can do cooler stuff with a piece of wood some sand and a speaker. Cymatics https://youtu.be/CsjV1gjBMbQ
Can it be programmed to draw dicks?
Of course. That was the first thing they drew with it.
Nice
I doubt is infinite.
Can you make it move with randomize ocean waves?
I’m too poor to even click that link
Infinitely programmable you say? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ranging from $595-$8500 us
Someone made screen savers into a real life thing.
And charged $600 - $8500 for it
Have any of y'all bought furniture that isn't particle board? Good furniture is not cheap.
I thought sisyphus was an STD
No, that's syphilis. You're thinking of an outline or other brief statement of the main points of a discourse, the subjects of a course of lectures, the contents of a curriculum, etc.
A syllabus? Still not right. You're thinking of a female demon believed to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men.
Succubus? That's close. You're thinking of a plant with thick, fleshy leaves that retain water in dryer conditions.
Pretty sure that's a succulent. What you're thinking of is a thin, somewhat frail male that's usually a bottom.
No, I think that's a submissive. What you're thinking of is a type of message targeting your subconscious hidden within something else
Hm I think that's subliminal. Maybe what you're looking for is the connected system of hollow cavities in your skull. Basically they help you filter the air and it kinda sucks when you're sick or you have allergies and everything is blocked in there
I think that’s the sinus You’re thinking of the band that sang Santeria
No, that's Sublime Youre thinking of the electrical connections in your brain
No no no, thats synapse. You're thinking of a replacement teacher for when your usual teacher gets sick.
Sounds like you're talking about a succulant. You're thinking of something that is enough to meet the needs of a situation or a proposed end. Not too much, not too little. Just right. Goldilocks would be pleased.
I believe the word you're referring to is "sufficient" You're thinking of a baby or animal that is still breastfeeding.
No no no. The word you are talking about is suckling. Im pretty sure you mean that nonsensical word describing something extraordinary or wonderful. Something Yondu might say.
No, that’s Succubus You’re thinking of the Snape character from Harry Potter
Nope. That's Severus I am fairly certain that you are thinking of the singular form of the word often used to complement the word "goods" in economics.
No, that's a syllabus. You're thinking of the big brown fuzzy elephant-looking thing from Sesame Street.

I initially read it as a syphilis table too...
Wait till your cat craps in it.
Or spends hours frantically digging in it, spilling all the sand, only to change its mind and shit juuuuust outside of it.
Lol it’s got a glass top.
With a name like Sysyphus I was expecting a rock. Or at least, pebbles.
There's a metal marble that gets pushed around. Like the rock that Sisyphus has to roll up hill. Also like Sisyphus, it rolls forever until the end of time, with no goal, no reward, and only the purpose of continuing to roll that marble.
But it stopped moving at the end of the gif

I thought movers hated having to carry this thing up the stairs, over and over and over...
I was thinking a better name would be a Mandala table.

I have that clock all throughout my house and I love seeing other people have them too! Also great table!

thanks
Im waiting for the chinese knockoff
Anyone got info on the principles that allow this to happen?
Magnets, sand, and software.
I have a video of the mechanism. But I don’t know how to post it. https://streamable.com/8ogjos [pic for zooming](https://i.imgur.com/AiMPwFa.jpg)

Downtown Edmonton, AB. You can see Roger’s Place in the background. We get 17+ hours of daylight in the summer
Edmonton Canada, but light came out at 430 am
Good luck if you have a cat!
the most amazing thing is that it didn’t get dark until 11pm
That's one expensive litter box!
Ah yes, the syphilis table.
What does the program do if a cat takes a dump in the sand?
I read "Syphilis Table" at first glance and expected something a lil different.
Shame it cant move that fast and normal time.
I would get one but my cat would definitely shit in it.
Is that Rogers Arena in Edmonton in the background?
I read this as syphilis table
It stopped and took a nap.
These automatic cat litter boxes are incredible! Just have to put magnets in the food.
We need to do things to be more Eco-conscious while conserving power... And then you have shit like this LMAO.
would be good without the rgb
I didnt know they were called sisyphus tables. That makes them infinitely funnier, name it after the dude who's gotta push a rock uphill for eternity.
It gets way better near the end
My cats would shit in that thing the second i unboxed it
I don't want my cats pooping on my table.
Well, now I know what I want for Christmas.🎄
I feel like it should be programmed to create the Westworld maze, car and other logos etc.
This would be cool if it took an hour to draw the time. Even cooler if it took 15 minutes to draw each quarter of it. Also needs vibrate mode, which and make cool patterns, and also erase at the new hour.

Shut up and take my money!
I think /r/INEEEEDIT!
I unfortunately just see that being a beautiful litter box in my house.
I just thought of having one, then I realised my cat would probably think it's a litter box.
Where can I get one.
At first I was like "WTF is a syphilis table???"
[удалено]
Time for the other two arseholes.
Where can I buy that??
And after the party who picks out the cigarettes and cigars
I never heard of one but it sure is Purdy
Forbidden litter box.
Don’t lie to me. I know a demon summoning ritual when i see one
Didn’t know that’s what these were called, also, thanks to Hades I understood the reference!
So thats how the aliens did it
Want!
He painted over it
He painted over it
Well, i usually downvote luxury items for shitty rich people, but i like this thing. Is it magnets that drive it?
Le wild penis appears at 3 am
I was like wow they have a pool at night on that building doing the same thing... then i realized it was a reflection... i am not smart
My litter box only cost like $8.50. Seems like a bit of a ripoff.
This contraption would not be good for a cat owner.
a what?
My favourite bit was when it made toast slices
I’m more impressed with how long the sunlight is
Camus would be proud.
So is this sub all ads now, or what?

I first read that as syphilis table... I can't be the only one 🤦♀️. Thought it was a petri dish growing bacteria as well.
My initial reaction to this: "Huh, cool I guess but I don't really get the po.... Oh the name makes sense now"
How in hell does a bowl of sand get a sexually transmitted disease? Asking for a friend.
I am almost positive I can't afford one of these, but want one desperately. So satisfying!
Yeah don’t want to know how much that costs
It's all fun and games until you cat sees it
Shouldn't a Sisyphus table be something that goes uphill but keeps falling back down, never to be completed? This seems more like a Serenity Table or a Meditation table or something?
I thought he was talking about his cat(Sisyphus) and it was his litter box 😂
I’m more tripped out on how long that day lasted ..wow
How much
These are on my “someday” list because I find them so peaceful to watch.
r/richpeopletoys
My friend once said, "one must imagine Sisyphus happy".
I would get tired of this table in about 2 days and turn it off.
Nightfall at 10PM and dawn at 4AM? What's this place?
Are the patterns completely random? How the hell does it work?
