It would be cool to hear from the Belgian guys how they made theirs. If I remember correctly, they told me it was the easiest of their props to build. They cut discs and wrapped linoleum around them for the tube sections, I think. But how do you stabilize the stacked pieces up the center so they don't fall over? Cut holes in each disc and stick the pipe all the way through like Wayne's doing?
we have one

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm kinda committed to it now :lol. I'll have to get out there and work on it some more this weekend. Thanks so much for the drawings Chris...they help out a ton!

Sure thing. You can see in this photo that they used extended feet for stabilization:

This is so cool! How about buying smaller sized solar panels (about $50.00 for a 2 foot by 2 foot panel but you gotsta search for them), add a battery, and hook it up to outdoor patio lighting! That would be an excellent purpose for a moisture vaporator. You could even hook up some sort of chilling system and use it to cool down some brews.
Fine art with a purpose!!!

I'm making one for the Scranton Comic Book Convention. Here's a sneak-peek (of the back of it) as I finished painting it today:
I'm not going to fully assemble it till I get there. I have some clear collection tubes and silver dispensing modules I didn't want to muck up. Once it's on display I'll take lots of pics.
I'm calling it a "GX-5 Portable Moisture Vaporator". Just over six-feet tall.

Here's my version :

The 24 hour moisture vaporator
A more accurate title would be:
"Building a moisture vaporator in 24 hours with whatever I have in the garage"
We needed a prop for the Marin county fair, and of course I put it off until the last minute.
Not screen accurate, not to scale, but still pretty neat !

It also has built in lights and sound effects:
