      Indeed. Is it a requirement that the sound making gadgetry be electric? I can think of at least one item that can be worn, used to make music, and is guaranteed to get attention wherever you go!



      You know the gentlemen in the photo all agree, this is not only acceptable, but outrageously hip!
      This isn't the future I signed up for.

          Something like this would lend itself nicely to some hartke-esque tones:

          You mean Hartke aluminum cones?
          Cool, if aluminum is wearable, and you have no industrial machinery, there is some clothing pieces you can make just with your bare hands:

          These can really keep the family united:


          If you want full coverage, a real Faraday cage (you can use a metal mesh strainer as face mask):


          If you donŽt care about full body but want EMP level protection for your brain:


          If you don't want passive defense but instead be able to attack back youŽll need some (wearable of course) transmitter and antennas:


          ok,ok, I guess I went over the top and beyond
          SORRY about that.

          So it MUST include knitting?

          Ok, I surrender.

          I fed my sheep old Hammond chassis aluminum scrap and with the wool she produced I knit this beautiful (wearable) hat:

            You're not too far off. Did you notice that this tutorial involves knitting 36AWG bus wire and cotton yarn to make a wearable strip board?

              I was browsing through the back issues of Poptronics at the American Radio History archive, and came across an article on piezoelectric film speakers in this issue: https://www.americanradiohistory.com...PE-1991-08.pdf

                Kewel. Nice simple explanation. And while Heathkit is long gone, and many manufacturers no longer bother selling to small fries, other hobby-friendly companies like Sparkfun & Adafruit have popped up in the mean time. In my view, looks like a path worth exploring.

                  Juan,

                  I just wanna say, I'm glad you're back, both with actual tech knowledge AND over-the-top silliness.
