[attachmentid=13404]Images of smoke/light tunnel

Great pictures; very pretty.

Interesting photos. Is there any background on these?

I too would like to know what was going when this photos was taken....visually stunning though

Thats pretty amazing...

wow. very cool pics, mr dpss. but it would help to know exactly what the pics are of, besides just saying in a tunnel.

Tis a projector projecting, taken on an infared camera with smoke blown throught it.....

i dont think so jcb33 she said it was a pic

Well, its a really simple effect, you take a 532nm laser lets say about 100mw and you fire it on to a simple fan, spinning about 3600 rpm, but mounted in the center of the fan is a little mirror circle hot melt glued on the fan. so as the fan spins up, its hauling ass, and since the greenie beam is sooooo bright at 100mw, it makes a light funnel.

And when you take dry ice or smoke, it makes this tripped out light tunnel really look 3D - you can walk inside of it and it is the weirdest feeling being inside of a tunnel made of swirling lightning - that the effect the smoke gives when the vortex of the fan pulls the smoke towards the center of the funnel.

any laserpointer would prob do the same thing, just not as bright, turn off all lights and it looks extremely cool. try it.

Very interest, nice idea

But, i have a question: How did the laser beam get bigger and bigger like that infront the fan?? did you place some smoke or something like that or only the fan will make like that ??

Maybe this seems a stupid question but i want to understand it well

Thank u


Oooh ... i Got it !! i got the idea !! lol

At first, i didnt read your last post but now i read it and understood it !!

Interest !

Well when you glue the little mirror on the center of the fan, glue it with hot melt glue, and glue it so that it is not flat, one end of the mirror must be raised about 4-5mm so that when the fan spins, it sorta wobbles, this makes the beam fan out, the more you put the mirror at a angle, the bigger dia fan you will get. then blow smoke into it, it looks way crazy.
