bigclivedotcom | Inside a swirling holographic star pyramid (amazingly deep 3D effect) @bigclivedotcom | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
For its simplicity this is a great visual effect. A 3D chamber with bright stars floating around inside it.
It's not really a hologram as such, more of a prismatic illusion using moving LEDs and a complex prismatic film.
This unit is a Luxa Starlighting Rainbow Starburst Pyramid. It was bought from a local garden centre, but may be available under different names in other countries.
I love the simplicity of the slip-ring assembly in this. It's optimised for easy manufacture with multiple contact points for reliable power transfer. The gold plated domed contacts and thick PCB tracks with a generous layer of grease should give a long lifespan. Especially with the slow rotation of the heavily geared motor.
I should take the junky eBay one apart to compare the mechanism.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
