Abstract
A light show apparatus for projecting an image upon a viewing surface in response to a variable sound source such as music or the like including illumination means directed through a light transmitting surface having a plurality of moveable particles disposed thereon wherein the illumination means is varied and the like transmitting surface is vibrated by vibrating means, simultaneously, to produce an ever-changing display of light projected upon the viewing surface by projection means.
Claims23
A light show apparatus for projecting an image upon a viewing surface in response to a variable sound source comprising:
- illumination means which comprises at least one electrically powered stroboscopic light source;
- means for varying said illumination means responsive to the variation of said sound source;
- a light transmitting surface disposed to permit light from said illumination means to pass therethrough;
- a plurality of particles disposed upon said light transmitting surface, said particles being free to move upon said surface;
- means for vibrating said light transmitting surface responsive to the variation of said sound source, the vibration of said light transmitting surface causing movement of said particles thereon;
- and
- means for projecting said light passing through said light transmitting surface upon said viewing surface.
A light show apparatus for projecting an image upon a viewing surface in response to a variable sound source comprising:
- first illumination means which comprises at least one electrically powered stroboscopic light source;
- means for varying said first illumination means responsive to the variation of said sound source;
- second illumination means providing constant illumination;
- a light transmitting surface disposed to permit light from said first and second illumination means to pass therethrough;
- a plurality of particles disposed upon said light transmitting surface, said particles being free to move upon said surface;
- means for vibrating said light transmitting surface responsive to the variation of said sound source, the vibration of said light transmitting surface causing movement of said particles thereon;
- and
- means for projecting said light passing through said light transmitting surface upon said viewing surface.
A light show apparatus for projecting an image upon a viewing surface in response to a variable sound source comprising:
- a crossover network coupled on the input thereof to said sound source, said crossover network providing at least two outputs;
- at least two illumination means each of which comprise at least one electrically powered stroboscopic light source;
- at least two means for independently varying said at least two illumination means responsive to said at least two outputs of said crossover network, each of said illumination variation means comprising an electronic trigger circuit each independently coupled on the input thereof to the outputs of said crossover network, each of said trigger circuits independently coupled to said stroboscopic light sources for the multiple triggering thereof in response to the output of said crossover network;
- at least two independent light transmitting surfaces disposed to permit discrete lights from said at least two illumination means to discretely pass therethrough;
- a plurality of particles disposed upon said light transmitting surfaces, said particles being free to move upon said surfaces;
- at least two means for independently vibrating said light transmitting surfaces responsive to said at least two outputs of said crossover network, the vibration of said light transmitting surfaces causing movement of said particles thereon;
- and
- at least two means for projecting said discrete lights passing through said light transmitting surfaces upon said viewing surfaces.
