Halloween 2004
Voyce-Faith-Axworthy Flying Ghosts
These ghosts are similar to (and inspired by) the traditional
Axworthy
Flying Ghosts. Key differences:
- The posts are 15' 4x4s cut to fit into 4" PVC that is sunk
3' into the ground.
- The posts are tied to trees behing them and tensioned using a
turn buckle.
- This tensioning allows the ghosts to weigh more than a pound (we've only
tested with one ghost so far).
The drive mechanism is a geared motor mounted on one of the poles.
The ghosts contain circuitry for pulsating orange LED
eyes, pulsating blue LEDs in the body, and a voice chip.
