For my maquette I made a CAD model and tested using lasers with one way mirrors. I additionally have put together a through BOM (Bill of Materials) for my artwork and finalized my plans for the circuitry.
CAD
This shows the front of the device from an isometric view. The air out-take is pictured in the top right corner. The top left has a cooling vent for the laser.
This view from the back shows the wiring area and 3D printed fog machine that will work using an atomizer which vibrates causing the surface of the water to vibrate forcing water molecules into the air.
Her is a closer look at the air vents.
The front panel has symbols of the four ‘elements’ etched into it.
This assembly rotates the laser.
Inside of the exhaust corner.
This view of the fog machine shows the emergency overflow which prevents water from spilling into the mirror box.
A closer view of the laser rotation assembly.
Video demonstrating the assembly of the box. Black panels are painted plywood.
