Description

INTRODUCTION

The first use of Audio-Animatronics was for Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland, which opened in June, 1963. The Tiki birds were operated using digital controls; that is, something that is either on or off. Tones were recorded onto tape, which on playback would cause a metal reed to vibrate. The vibrating reed would close a circuit and thus operate a relay. The relay sent a pulse of energy (electricity) to the figure’s mechanism which would cause a pneumatic valve to operate, which resulted in the action, like the opening of a bird’s beak. Each action (e.g., opening of the mouth) had a neutral position, otherwise known as the “natural resting position” (e.g., in the case of the Tiki bird it would be for the mouth to be closed). When there was no pulse of energy forthcoming, the action would be in, or return to, the natural resting position.
