Need help with a propaganda gadget . . . how to rig up a slide projector
that could be shined on the side of a large building at night.

(Got the idea after seeing the Code Pink Girls unfurling their "Bush: You Lied / You're Fired" banner next to the Washington Post building)

Ideally, this projector would be cordless, cheap, and essentially disposable. Overhead type transparencies can be easily made at Kinko's but how to display them without lugging an overhead projector / slide projector around?

1. Couldn't Kinko's just make a slide for it?

2. Interesting idea, but
"cordless" and "cheap" and "disposable" don't go together with a half-million candle-power device capable of projecting a transparency on a building.

You're talking a lot of power, a BIG bulb, lenses ... not cheap, nor simple.

3. Just imagine a modified Bat signal!
Shined on the clouds at night!

That would rock!

5. Hey, I like that -- "Bush Sucks" shined on the clouds
Then I couldn't get arrested since the Republicans haven't managed to copyright clouds yet.

Give them time . . .

4. Yeah, that's what I was afraid of . . .
I'm thinking one of those big six volt batteries with a high intensity bulb . . . maybe it could last a half hour.

6. If you're VERY careful....
quality AC voltage can be had from any city streetlamp.

(not that I would condone such activities, mind you :evilgrin: )
