I saw some laser effect vids
Look real cool
But none of them show how they do it, how do you make the Liquid Sky Effect and Time tunnel effect??

Thanks :D

The easyest one is to get a small vibe motor from an old cell phone and glue it to the back of a small mirror. Add a trim pot to the power going in, the different voltages produce different patterns. My avatar on the left was done in this fashion.

cheers. :)

take the top off and find the switch that operates the main cut out

Pieces of CDs won't work because they're horrible at reflecting.

I was wondering....Couldn't you make a liquid sky effect with just a line generator? :-/

It would not only be stupidly easy, it would likely be better.

Now I may be wrong here but I have reasoned that if you spread a 10mw beam, with a line generator, over 10 feet that equals 1mw per foot....If you rotate a mirror to reflect the beam, every point gets the full 10mw repeatedly....... :-/

is that just a rotating mirror then?
Yes, simple as that a mirror on a computer fan...the hard part is getting one line, it took ages to set up, most times I ended up with 2 lines (one from the front and one from the back of the mirror).

@ rip92 If your phone has a vibro motor, take off the eccentric weight, taking care not to bend the shaft, put on a mirror as described in the hand held projector thread I linked to earlier. That will give you a tunnel effect.
