Gday from Western Australia!
As an avid Ben Heckendorn viewer, i have watched as many episodes of your show as I can, and many of them many times over. Your steampunk POV display was a fun build, how about revisiting the visual trickery but in the form of a Zoetrope display this time? You have the technology! The disc could be laser cut and etched, you could pulse a cree LED or other light source and time the light to the disc with an optical interrupt, hall effect sensor or some other way, your the master fabricator, ill leave such minor details in your capable hands! Maybe you could mount the assembly on a top hat again, or perhaps fit it to the wheel of Alyson's bicycle while she isnt looking?
Cheers in advance from an Australian fan
