Yep you guessed it. A vintage TV remote from the 1960s, no batteries needed, instead when the buttons are clicked, the device emits ultrasonic frequencies to control the TV by hammering aluminum rods (the 4 circles). The nerd side of me is fascinated by how this thing works.

Day 12 prompt is Remote I also went the remote control route but mine is from a vehicle.

That's very interesting (as well as being a good drawing, of course). I was vaguely aware that the first TV remotes used ultrasound, but hadn't realized that they were entirely mechanical devices that didn't need batteries. Just did a bit more reading on the subject. Thanks.

I was expecting one of you "SciFi Geeks" to do some type of event horizon (entrance to a black hole) themed picture.

I thought about it but ended up with a similar idea to Kaputnik.

Posting early as I want to get to bed soon. #14, "Roam".



The little viking ship is an actual object that sits in front of my computer monitor. It's a souvenir of a trip to Norway in the 1980s. I forgot to draw the little round shields along the side, though. D'oh! Here's a photo of it and some of my other desk junk.

The last prompt didn't yield anything that I am happy with... skip!

This is the Remote Oceanic Analysis Module a.k.a ROAM. As part of the scientific fleet, it is known for sophisticated tech and gadgetery, guaranteed to impress people as well as the fishes.
