Laserball and assorted Creations
Maker Faire Bay Area 2026
September 25th-27th
I balance on a bowling ball on a plank of wood. For years I have thought it would be cool to have laser beams in the bowling ball, but it was too hard to modify an existing bowling ball. So I designed it in CAD and printed it in sections, added lights, power supply and a switch and voila the LaserBall is born. Also I might show some kinetic sculptures the Double Helix and maybe an orrery or a superimoisitions box.
