output experiments

So the output was initially supposed to be metal ball bearings that would randomly create patterns on the patina soaked paper but I felt it lacked a connection to the site. so, I changed the schematic to a silhouette-rust painting that would be created by dropping ferrous powder onto an object that lay on top of a piece of patina soaked paper.

Here is the arm that would hold the ferrous powder, and some experiments with different types of paper.



The little hole in the silver basin (when filled with ferrous powder) allows for a tiny amount of powder to be sprayed above the item when it is struck (perhaps by a metal ball bearing). Tests need to be done for the height and the force needed to allow sufficient movement for powder to be released.
