Like a slow release turning page. Ultimate lazy device.
Halfbaked so no-more yet

Yes...
But (belated) welcome to the Halfbakery! |

As an addict of the printed word I was hoping for something revolutionary here - but alas, [Sambo1978] was another one hit wonder - not even an anno anyplace else. |

[hippo] is so gracious .... |

I saw the accident report, a brilliant job by the fire
investigators. It seems a small hot coal (exhibit g) fell from
Sambo’s fire. Luckily this coal began to fade innocuously
and all would have been fine, until a book nearby started
turning its pages, as if a ghost was reading it. The book
turned its pages suitably fast, because it was a rip-roaring
thriller called “The Waft of Death”.. A gentle breeze blew
from it to the coal.. which glowed cherry red, like a devil’s
eye. It began to smoulder... |

The basic failing here is in the subtitle: "Pop up books that turn the pages themselves after some time" . I mean, how? A pop-up book does whatever it's going to do when you turn the page - not after "some time". And what the fuck is "some time"? To a geologist, "some time" might be 100,000 years. To a physicist, "some time" might be a picosecond, or a million years. To a Djibouto tribal elder, "some time" is phonetically equivalent to "My cousin's red goat". |

So, I think we have to say that [Sambo1978] is not, strictly speaking, up to scratch. |

So a powered paper kinetic sculpture. The book would have to be loaded in and the appliance would have be able to turn to the front of the book. |
|

Ordinary books, probably, could be loaded and ''some time'' would be a personal two page reading speed. There must be book page turners for book scanning. |
