Some weeks ago, a friend of mine said " you will never manage to build a Heliodisplay".
I went home, looking for things that could be used, build everything together over night and phoned him next morning.
So please don`t wonder about the " Design ", it was just a Prove-the-idea model.
But the good thing about it is, you can see every rough detail of how it works!

Here a little shematic drawing:

What I used :    1 m PVC Pipe 50 mm
                        2 x 45° Pipes  50 mm
                        3 x 120 mm to 50 mm Reducer Pipes
                        1 x 120 mm Pipeventilator with180 m2/h Stream
                         old Ventilator
                        a bundle of Drinking Straws
                        a 700mm Flower-Box
                        some cardboard box stipes with big holes
                        Glue & Silicon
                        2 Foggers

                        some sideparts for a Holderbox
First Steps :


1 ) I cut out a 700 mm long part out of the PVC Pipe

2 ) I cut the Drinking Straws to half lenght ( I used the thick ones, next Picture is taken from a modelpice to show you the princible) and glued them on the cardboard box stripes, like that:

3 ) drilled holes in the Flowerbox ( to put the Pipe through), cut the bottom away


4 ) glued Pipe and Straws together


5 ) fixed Pipe in the Flower-Box with Silicon

6 ) build a holderbox to put the Flower-Box ontoo

7 ) put the rest of the Pipes together with 2 Foggers inside like on the next Picture

8 ) little Pipevent on Pipeend


9 ) old Ventilator underneath Holderbox 


10 ) filled waterchamber up to 1/3  


11 ) build up my Beamer behind
