Put a snowman and a couple of Christmas trees in there and you’d have damn near the best selling slow globe idea ever.

Interesting idea! It seems to lag a bit though, perhaps using compressed air would be faster, albeit at a cost of complexity. Or perhaps using fluids instead?

He mentions applying something to the acrylic and the beads to prevent “electrification” which I’m going to assume is static buildup. Anyone know or have ideas what he’s using? Static was the first thing I thought of when i initially saw it, and I wondered how he kept that material from sticking to the acrylic walls.

I like it. More practical in a dwelling than using fire to visualize standing wave. I do understand that these are 2 different devices, just saying what visualization of sound, most this is one that most would put on their wall. Than again 19″ or so flat screen TVs are inexpensive enough to use with a computer to create a multiple of visualizations,if that’s the entertainment goal.

I need one of these for when I play smooth jazz in my swinging bachleor pad.

if it has any sort of delay he should just figure out what the delay is and delay the actual sound being made, as long as hes using it for music at least

I agree with the louvers to reduce lag, but either way, it was beautiful. And if you are one for 70′s music, make the LED’s to a shifting RGB format. For some slowly, shifting color fun.
