My first attempt at a spriograph

[lamborgini8]

Nice, it beats my first attempt. I used a CD case, two old motors from a old VCR and RC car, blue tack and some small mirrors I found in a art shop. I didn't even have a way of controlling the speed of the motors other than my finger to slow one down.

Trouble with doing that though is it don't last very long so no pictures. Although I can easily stick it together again.

Theres a video on my youtube profile of it, just it was recorded with a rubbish camera so the frames are horrible. Search lamborgini8 on youtube

Ouch.

I managed to find some 2cm second surface mirrors from a art shop. It was rather hard to get it all aligned as they were all the same size though... But no cuts for me, they were about 3mm thick.
