I did a quick search on the glass spheres, and the only place I could find to buy them was Edmund Optics for $15.00 each. Does anyone have a decent source for the lenses?

This is very cool. The kind of thing I expected to find on Hacker News. DO you still get much chance to play around now days? I wish I had done a little more playing 20 years ago, but I am trying to make up now. Nitinol,Rare earth magnets,

This reminds me of when I first started programming in Turbo Pascal. I made a Christmas tree using graphic mode and trig functions. I also only used if-then statements so i ended up with about a thousand lines :) Looking at this more elega
