Dominic Wilcox has created this Xylophone Bin for a VIPP Charity auction in NewYork to raise money for Chernobyl Children’s Project International and Foodbank NYC.
‘When the pedal is pressed the lid opens, releasing a ball that travels down a ‘helterskelter’ set of xylophone steps around the bin. Each time the ball hits a step, a note is played. The xylophone steps are cut in increasing lengths so that the note gets deaper as the ball gets closer to the bottom.’
There are also two videos on his site, all for a good cause and worth a watch.

This is a very neat concept. Simple product design for a good cause is great to see. The idea of a musical bin built on simple physics and purely dealing with momentum is one I certainly would not have thought of.
A brilliant idea. SImple and effective product design utilising momentum.
