Liquid Light Show

Does anyone know how to make a liquid light show? For all those who do not what one is it is a art form where colored oil are placed in front of a light and the colors shine on the wall. Here's what one looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=derp4aCP8JU"]YouTube- LIQUID LIGHT SHOW

A widely available overhead projector may be used to project kinetic liquid projections.. :ambient effect.. Use a overhead projector with bottom lighting, preferably with a quartz-halogen lamp. Put a dimmer on the main power, and if you can, add a supplemental fan to insure adequate ventilation. mask off the edges of the stage, place the dishes (old glass clock faces) on top (a small one in a larger one) and add the water and oil based dyes, usually just to the space between the two dishes. For oil dye, I use Keystone aniline dyes, and for water, I use photo retouching colors.. 91% alcohol can be added to the water solutions to enable the water based liquids to become darker as they evaporate. For clear oil, of course clear mineral oil. With the colors, you'll learn less is more. Then you're ready to go, turn up the dimmer slightly and focus. Mask off the edges of the screen area, remembering to cover the edges of the screen-area as much as possible... Are your dyes ready? Then turn the overhead up and BLOB-O-RAMA!!!... Remember..easy does it... Good luck!

Found that if it's of any use. I wouldn't mind setting something like this up myself, bet it's good on psychedelic substances. eace::sifone:
