I stuck LED lights onto cords that retract by themselves. So when I spin them, centrifrugal force pulls them out and causes them to arc in wider circles, and when I slack, they pull back in.

Also, PLUR is an acronym for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect, which are the four principles I found my entire life upon. I am a raver, and even though the saying originated through raver culture, one doesn't have to be a raver in order to believe in it... I advocate it strongly to everyone, as my life has improved by leaps and bounds since I heard of it.

More pictures!

I'm sure -KT- is a raver, as she mentions PLUR in her signature, and from what I know from a friend, that's basically a kind of phrase to try and show you're not in the whole WOAH DRUGS EXCATSY DUDE thing and go for the dancing and pretty seizure lights.

So basically you stuck a LED thing onto strings that glow in black light? I don't totally understand it, but it looks so cool!

You go to raves?


Maybe crazy parties for me, but no raves.

That does look cool, though.

You know those pens that have ripcords, that you can clip on to your belt? If you've ever worked in a call centre you've probably seen them, attached to people's swipe cards. They're just cords that can pull on, and retract by themselves. Ok?
Now, I also got these LED light sticks, right? Like LED laser pointers with etched plastic sticks on the ends to catch the light. I sawed them down to about an inch and taped blacklight-reactive string to it, to increase wind resistance and control.
2 + 2 = AWESOME.

So what I've got are variable-length, multi-coloured lights that extend and retract depending on how I flick my wrist. WAY TOO FUCKING COOL.

I've got a few pics, but the guy taking them was kinda drunk, and didn't get any really good snapshots. These are the best three out of the ones he took.
Yes, these are crappy pics. I can't wait to get good ones.

This one's the worst of the three, but it shows off the variablility of the tois, and how they swing...


This one's a shot of them while they're retracted...


And lastly, a shot of them extended.


Cool, eh?
So, anyone else build their own triptois?
