The tutorial is still under construction. but you can find all instructions you need to build it in the pix. therefore I've already published.
If you like it please rate ;)


Unfortunately my camera is not good enough to present the whole beauty. The effect is impressive. I will make the day better macro photos, live from the inside.

In this tutorial I will show you how you can build a mechanic lightbulb illusion.

Strictly speaking, it is a flashlight.
but it does look like a light bulb powerd by a clockwork.
or a diesel punk spark plug (replace brass with silver metal).
In the light bulb, you see floating small screws and gears.
It seems as if the mechanism is damaged from the Clockwork.
But a happy it still works.

If you are a hobbyist, you should have almost everything in the house.
Look at the pictures. if everything is there.
I've spent 1 euro for a mini LED flashlight.
The rest I've found in my basement.

you still will need a small glass container.
to be found in shops where makeup is sold.
in such containers, gemstones are sold,
the one used for fingernails.
if you are male,
rather ask your wife if she buys you the stones.

not to see in the photo is a piece of leather, no bigger than a matchbox
and a loose-leaf binder. as shown in the second photo.
