disco ball and pinlight in case???

[moorehed]

a friend and i were talking and thought it would be cool to have a small disco ball spinning and a pin light on it in a windowed case... think it would be possible?

OMG...what's the world coming to.

any ideas how to go about doing this????

As for the ball, u could probably pick one up from a shop at mall or something.

It should be a small motor rotating it, while a little bulb inside provides the light. you can hang it off your chassis, depending on ur case. if you line the case with some mirrors, it'd increase brilliance. maybe you can run off the motor with AA battery, or maybe into a fanheader/moldex.

now THAT woudl be cool... mirrors in the case...

are there any THIN mirrors that could be shaped? or something that could be used in place of mirrors?

sounds like a hella cool project, i would love to see this done. and how small do they make disco balls? i imagine you'd need a pretty small one to fit in your case.

im pretty sure those motors can run off a dc supply just get a rheo hehe.. you dont want it spinning too fast

i found 4 inch disco balls... but no small motors... think a 4 inch ball would work? wonder if a laser pointer would work for a pin light? i did find out the motor shoudl turn 3rpm. any ideas?

you could just point a fan at the disco ball. It should make it move enough to get the disco effect.
