Resources for Lumia

[clickamouse]

Ah, good idea. Awesome build. My contraptions tend to be miniature, so additional hardware just won't fit.
I am afflicted with severe artistic tendencies, which dictate what sorts of enclosures I use.
My current generation of museum builds are going into lunchboxen, for instance.
I'm also not that great a mechanical engineer, but I'll give this a shot next time I am building into something reasonable.

Digression follows:

Here's an example of a Lumia PJ made out of a vintage stage light:

and one of our Molecular Disrupters:

This is a scanner jobbie:

And the whole bloody lot of them:

those are beautiful!

i've bought a couple old slide projectors for the very same idea. i just haven't had the heart to retrofit them yet.

Sigh... just bought some glass from Delphi. Just HAD to link me to stuff I could buy, didn't you?

Dude.... that's cool.

Very good find- instant Steam Punk-- I just got an early model of the Kodak Ektagraphic
model AF-3 projector and stripped the guts-($5) it will house a lumia some day. I thought is was cool to make a old(er) projector into another projector. There is ample room to knife R,G &B.

looks Ok but yours is way COOLER-

I bet there are a lot of those gathering dust at thrift shops and peoples attics..

Great post clickamouse. Lots of great resources.

Whittemore-Durgin Stained Glass Supplies has a good sample pack of glass for ~30 bucks. It has many many good pieces, some not as good, and a few useless for Lumina® projects.

That way-cool looking vintage project made me go to Ebay and search-I did not find one exactly like your - wich makes it even more unique- BUT there a huge number FS there and some are pretty awesome to use as a 'host' including old ads and manuals there is >800 hits at ebay-
here are a few that really caught my attention.

Nice, thanks, Mike.

I've noticed that under-voltage battery starts will start a motor close to stall voltage when a similar voltage from a bench supply won't. I think there's a little voltage spike when the battery is connected that gets the rotor spinning.

Ah, good suggestion. I'm running with little mini-supplies; I'll try putting a cap across the motor-might give a similar boost.

And hey; your new dome thang looks very cool. I love the idea of the water diffraction.
Damn shame we're on two different land masses; love to hang with you some time.

Thanks...Mike
