Kinetic Sculpture Mechanical Calculator

A fellow baker had proposed the rebirth of the mechanical calculator that some may suggest is susceptible to the criticism "w.t.f.?" However, clever people like me who talk loud in restaurants understand that a complicated mechanical mechanism is like a ballet, while an electronic mechanism doing it's thing is a non event, at least from an entertainment standpoint.

Taking the idea of re-birthing the mechanical calculator a step further, I propose creating a calculating kinetic sculpture that turns the most boring calculation into a circus sideshow of mechanical mayhem. An extravaganza of juggling and rolling steel balls, dancing levers and spinning cogs that would make a task as mundane as tallying up the year's utility bills into a fascinating event.

Of course, rather than getting the answer outright, you'd have to wait for it while the machine went through its mechanistic machinations to come up with... wait for it..."DING! ROOOOLL! SPIN! WIZ! CLINK!.... THE ANSWER!! The arrival of which would be indicated by something like a small dog popping out of the clown's head and hitting a little gong.
