Ever made a dreamachine?

I am considering making one of these, having a few friends over, and seeing what happens.  I think it would be a cool thing to try with friends for a night and see what its like.  Just wondering if anyone has either made one before and has tips or has experienced one.  I saw that some people make goggles but thats not really what I would want to do, cause I want it to be with a group of people.

Here is the Wiki for it and the 'how to' that I plan on using:

that looks sick, but i bet its really hard to make if you have to get the pattern just right.

seizures sounds bad too

the second vid i think is better because of the slower rotation, but it is sideways which sucks

I dunno, I would experiment.
Give this a read:
http://www.lunarsight.com/glossary.htm

especially the section on Brain Entrainment. a similar way to get this effect is through binaural beats

check out a free program called gnaural. Its pretty cool. Ive had some pretty trippy "dreams" with it.

it wouldnt be too hard to make. 18 gauge steel, welder and plasma cutter would do the trick, then just make templates for the patterns
