In the old old pictures you can always tell who's been really really good, by the ring of light floating above their heads. Well, since the technology has been lost, and I feel the need to at least appear to have been good, I decided a halo generator needs to be developed.
This idea has passed
through several design phases - the Magnetically Contained Toroidal Plasma halo; the neon tube halo; the Moebius Strip paper halo (has a good side, and that's all) and even the somewhat undersized Magnetically Levitated Handcuff halo.
The one I finally decided on, however, is the Stable Vortex Smoke halo. Three metallic bands form a double layer truncated cone; a small battery operated fan inside the cone generates the air motion which results in a stable vortex, about eight inches across, hovering about five inches above the head. A small smoke generator feeds two tubes attached to the surface of the divider cone; these allow a continuous trickle of smoke to rise up into the vortex.
Now I just need help finding something that produces bright yellow smoke, without the smell of Ultimate Evil...

I see you haven't tried the popular, head-mounted, laser show halo or the Native American, smoldering tonsure, smoke signal halo. |

No, I felt burning hair wouldn't do. I mean, [DrCurry] might need a halo, too. |

I like the certain Fritz Lang quality about it. |

How ever you do it, I'll buy it. |

So this hat would give you a halo by turning you into a saint...? |
|
|
well since we're all holograms, afterall, shouldn't your hat
project phony hologram halos?

Id like to see a halonut. A doughnut with a big holea hole big enough to put your head through it. Saints? They would be those people who hadnt yet eaten their breakfast of halonuts. |

hmmm.... Mr Burns quoting Homer. What's next, Flanders dating Smithers? |

Actually, if this halo consistently gets sort of partly blown away at the crown of the head, it might look like....a pair of horns. |
