K'nex combined with LED's to create awsome Orbs.
I think this is a great example of the neverending potential of knex.
This photographer set about making rotating led lit orbs. He then used a long exposure on his camera to create the amazing pictures you see here.
I think for a simple building method, for a non permanent project, knex is one of the best options, and greatly under appreciated!

I could actually see this working, Knex recently brought out a Knex Light up rod(see the picture), so add it a motor and a few more light up rods, boom boom pow, you got a light orb. Or you could use LEDs...
And yet some people Hate K'nex so much that they write a script to block it... :/
