The 'Astromobile'

So I've thought of possibly the greatest idea ever thought.. ever. It involves a giant industrial sized hanging mobile, and about a half dozen Astrostars. Now if you're wondering what an Astrostar is, it's basically this nifty little lamp, that takes the shape of a black 12 sided dodecahedron, with tiny holes on all sides. And when turned on...


POOF!

..It projects stars all over the room. Pretty simple. Now, my grand idea is to basically make a hanging mobile, that perfectly spins and rotates, and attach multiple Astrostars at each end. Here's a cheap little sketch I threw together, to give you a "better" idea of the plan..



VoilĂ .
 Lights turned off. Astrostars turned on. Give the mobile a little push, AND...


...The most AMAZING light show you will ever witness, right before your very own eyes!!! 
 Now it sounds easy, but the most difficult part about this project will be balancing the Astrostars perfectly with each other, for the mobile to have perfect inertia. So it will be a difficult balancing act. But hey, we can only know, if we give it a try!
