| Hi, I'm new to these parts. I'm Daniela (Dani for short) or Queen3Wolfe
if you prefer. So I'm building a Lego christmas village filled with my nerdy
creations on a tiered wood base in the shape of Christmas tree. I'm looking
for ways to motorize certain parts of the village and one of the designs I produced
is of a Lego Stargate (screenshot attached). I have actually built it yet, but
I had the idea to fill an petri dish or similar cylindrical container with transparent
blue studs and motorize it to simulate the rippling water effect of the event
horizon from the show. I'm hoping for advice on how to make it work. I'm
open to any feedback yall might have.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hi,
I’d put two wheels at the bottom, one free and one motorized and some props on
the gate to maintain the dish upright.
Maybe other free wheels if you have room, to minimize friction.
I don’t know how the moving parts inside the dish will interact with the movement
though.

Yeah moving parts is a concern. Your suggestion is pretty in line with what I
was thinking. So hopefully that means I'm on the right track. If moving parts
do cause issues I could always find a way to keep them in place inside the cylinder
and see how it looks. That wouldn't be ideal, but if it's the difference
between making it work and not I'll do what I need to. I had the idea of
putting twinkling LEDs behind it to help with the shimmer effect. So if worse
comes to worse that may be enough to compensate for the studs not being loose
inside the "event horizon".

According to Einstein, you just need to connect a black hole to a white hole.

I don't have much of a background in theoretical physics, but I mean how
hard can it be?
