I'm not the best in English, apologize if I fail in my speech.


what you need:

- 4x 15cm circled acrylic glass  (3 mm thick, other sizes will probably also work)
- Acryl glue
- wood ( I took laminate)
- screw and plate
- Lens system or somthing like a lens to projekt (i took an old slide projector)
- Paraffin water and printer ink
- leather for covering the edges
- 10W LED + cooler and  5-9V trafo
- 1 rpm motor (220V)
-  threaded rod
-  switches

And last...strong nerves!!


Glue the Two Acrylic Circles

Put both discs together, glue them and leave about a 1 mm gap between. I used a piece of plastic.
Leave a gap to take in liquid.

I have tried a lot, it was best with paraffin and colored water.
Best 3/4 oil and 1/4 colored water.
you can mix any color you want.
- Close the opening with a soldering iron.

!!!this is done twice and both mixtures are welded together!!! (Picture in step 5)

Now turn the LED on and put the lens of the slide projector and calibrate the objektiv, that you get a good picture on the wall.
You can also use only one lens but I've simply taken the two originals.

Next step: mounting the components on a fixed plate. (e.g. on a laminate plate)

I have welded a screw on the middle of the disc, to mount it on the engine.

I have only choose a 8V transformer for the LED, it is not so bright like 12V but that way you don't need a fan to cool.

I wanted to make it without a fan but I safely install a fan, because some heat formed by the engine and the led.
