See a computer hardware device playing "Bohemian Rhapsody"

The hardware is called Floppotron

Queen 's anthem "Bohemian Rhapsody" has had all sorts of covers since its release in 1975. The latest one stars a variety of old computer hardware – drives, printers, modems and more. All programmed to generate music through the sound of their mechanical movements.

Self-confessed "computer geek, electronics enthusiast, and software engineer," Pawel Zdrozniak created the Floppotron to play music. His Queen cover is his 98th release.

“The story began in 2011 when I created the first video of two floppy disk drives playing the 'Imperial March' from Star Wars,” Zadrozniak wrote on social media. “It was a simple and fun electronic project that took me only a few hours to make and program. The video went viral with over 5 million views. I decided to go further and create larger machines. That's how the Floppotron was born.”
