(Part four) Or a CONE shape - the smallest part will be at the mirror, the largest part will be wherever the circle is being displayed.

Now - if this description did nothing but confuse you, let me know - I will actually make a video of me MAKING one, to show you all how to do this - because the end result is REALLY cool !

It really is a lot simpler than I described, my apologies for not being able to describe it better !

(Part three) board at a 45 degree angle, or close to it - your angle for your mirror does not need to be THAT perfect, but just something other than FLAT !!!

Once the mirror is glued onto the rotating center part of the fan, and the mirror is angled slightly - you turn on the fan, and aim the laserbeam at the mirror - - when it reflects off - it will make a circle on the wall, ceiling, or wherever. NOW - if you picture the mirror at the bottom of the letter V. the beam makes the V ! (more)

(Part two) Now, take your SMALL mirror, and glue it onto the center of the fan -BUT, you MUST have it at an angle - so, take a staple, or a piece of a paper clip - something to go under the mirror, so when you glue it onto the center of the fan (the part that rotates is the center, hopefully !) it will be crooked, angled, etc - to over explain it, make it look - on a much smaller scale - like you are putting a basketball under a board - when you do that, it makes the (more in next post !)

(Part one) To make a decent, but basic time-tunnel - get a mirror....preferrably a front surface mirror if possible. If not, no biggie, this IS a basic tunnel after all ! Okay - materials needed :

a PC Case fan, or small DC powered fan - one that you can turn on and off would be good. Even one of those small "kiddie" fans - the kind found at drug stores, and have cartoon characters on them, etc - one of those will work. (part two, next post !)

@Mr420tripmofo

Shining the laser at a mirror, mounted on a PC case fan ! When you mount the mirror on crooked, it makes a "timetunnel" effect - like the wormhole on Stargate, etc.

@Mr420tripmofo

GOOD question ! :-) It was a basic "Time-Tunnel" device - a time tunnel device uses mirrors to distort the laser beam into an expanding cone shape -

Never Fear ! I can send you the ULTIMATE hook-up ! :-) LEt me get together a little StoneTek gift box to send out your way - drop me an email with a reminder (include your address again, please :) ) and you will be good to go ! Screw those uptight Jerks on LPF. I think a new forum needs to be started with actual INFORMATION on there, orther than the usual posts of, " OMI GAWD ! I CAN HAZ LAZORZ !"

@gregstoner1369 Actually it's me, Silvershot from lpf :) I did make one but was cheapy and didn't work well. I am trying to finish my spirograph now. The only problem is the alignment of the motors and the correct electronic stuff to adjust the speed of motors. I need help on this but am afraid to post on the forum, they will tell me to search on previous threads :(

@Kamenos4ever Did you ever make a time tunnel ?
