You could get an image of of this disk if you install lenses and acquire a crater lamp.

Yes you did but it seemed to be using thick corrugated cardboard like the first - that's another problem that is solved by using the beads.
BTW the beads (or balls) are readily available and CHEAP in the US. But it is good to make a standard Nipkow disk first even if you go onto making the bead disk, so you can compare the difference, however if you use anything greater than say about 1/16th of an inch thick cardboard you will only see an image when your eye directly is in line with the hole and even then the outer parts of the image will probably be much dimmer. When it comes to standard Nipkow disks thinner is always better.

That might be Gary. But imagine and reflect what you think that is important for you?
For our young and enthousiastic guys, think of this:
If you want to have large amounts of money, a castle to live in, a big and expensive car, a boring life with lots of stress and no time to enjoy the money, this is indeed what you should do: Go into business and/or the financial world.
But if you want to have an interesting job, which brings you enough money to have a good life, a reasonable home, a real hobby and a good car that brings you wherever you want, be a technician (in electronics or what else) and refuse to grow into a managers role. Stay in engineering. That is exactly what I did.
Technicians are making the future world. Look around. All those technical things are invented and designed by technicians. Don't you want to be one of them?

All I know is is that using my computer monitor as light and spinning the disk on a screwdriver shows a lot of black lines. Maybe because it isn't up near 750 rpm? I don't know. Planning on upgrading to maybe 45 lines and make a camera.
