It's basically a three dimensional oscilloscope. The figures are made by feeding each axis with a slightly different rotation frequency - the same way one would feed two differing frequencies to the two axes of an oscilloscope to make Lissajous figures. |

Pretty neat. I was surprised I got through the whole video. It's quite interesting. I couldn't help being reminded of the "spinning ball of death" plot device seen in older sci-fi shows, where the hero has to get through something like that to reach the ships' nuclear device to stop the space ship from self destructing. Anyway, quite a project, and fun. Dean |

I was mesmerized. What a hipnotic effect with that music playing. Now if you want to build one take a look here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f57/led-orb-2-0-a-50012.html Scroll down a bit and he's got all sorts of pictures on how he built it. Very neat and easy to do. Bernd |
