    This page has a cheery subtitle "it doesn't have to be complicated" before going straight into 60+ pages of engineering, maths, diagrams, tables, graphs and even downloadable Excel spreadsheets. It's exactly what I'm looking for, because I'm currently building a doorbell - but it's a pretty hilariously long way from not complicated.

    Anyway, this is the sort of thing I really love the internet for. A very specific topic, one which someone has spent a lot of time understanding and exploring, written up in great depth. Even if you're not currently into windchimes this is a pretty interesting read.

    I don't think I will ever tire of knowledgable and passionate people talking about the thing they are knowledgeable and passionate about. The author also has a youtube channel, the relevant companion video to this article is here

    What a fun website! It's the kind of site I remember stumbling onto more often 20 years ago. It's not the most beautiful website in the word, but it's obviously the result of a lot of passion for something that I've never put more than a minute's thought into.
