The baby tamer

While fully engaged with launching my startup, I embarked on another life-changing journey: fatherhood. My son had a robust set of lungs and used them liberally. Quieting his outbursts was not only crucial but time-intensive. I was determined to find a solution.

I had noticed that a combination of holding and gentle shaking brought him comfort swiftly. Beyond pacing with him cradled in my arms, I utilized a yoga ball to create a soothing rhythm by bouncing gently. It was during these moments I realized I was essentially performing a vertical oscillation.

My background in physics proved to be unexpectedly useful.

I hastily crunched some numbers and drafted a blueprint. After getting the necessary components, I assembled what I affectionately termed the "Baby Tamer." Rather than setting a fixed oscillation frequency, I used a variable capacitor to fine-tune the settings manually, granting me complete control over the oscillation dynamics.

Following a series of experiments with various springs and oscillatory patterns, I discovered a remarkably efficient combination.
