This fun project makes awesome light effects by spinning LEDs on three axes. The maker, Carl, doesn’t exactly provide a how-to but he has tons of awesome pictures documenting the project. [Via Hacked Gadgets]

I love it.
@Make – the link “tons of awesome pictures” has a typo in the source. “hrerf”. So the link doesn’t work (at least for me in firefox)

Thanks, unigamer — fixed!
The guy who made it says this was his hardest to build project yet. However, he also had videos of a two axis, three LED project and even a two axis, one LED project that both looked amazing.
Simply wonderful. I would imagine that trying to get the thing balanced so it did not shake itself off the table would be a PITA.
