Briefly noted for September 9, 2025: Teaching the power symbol; the Imperial War Museums and AI transcription; an ambitious roll-your-own project; and should humanities courses be harder?

L'objet-mystère du jour est ce cube à ressorts retrouvé dans le vieux matériel de démonstration de Lyon 2.
Une idée de manip' ou de phénomène physique que cela pourrait démontrer ?
Précision : "La boite au milieu s’ouvre (le morceau en dessous)"
Boosts bienvenus
Edit : merci à tous ! Il s'agit très probablement d'un "tuned mass damper", ou amortisseur harmonique. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amortisseur_harmonique
