IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Newton's perpetual motion machine gone very wrong!
I took an old idea of mine and added a twist.  I've always
enjoyed the five ball model demonstrating perpetual motion.  But,
to spruce it up, I took the thought of what would happen if it
didn't work to its extreme!

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

This image is actually quite simple -- as you can see from the
source.  A frame with repeating ball and brace structures.  The
explosion and shooting flame (my wife's idea) are halo's rendered
in a sphere and cone (cylinder mapping).  I had to remember to
make everything hollow!  The exploding ball is transparent to
a degree to add to the effect of the ball vaporizing.
Enjoy!  Steven
