Idea:
ï‚· Disco lights from few instruments from the torch.
 
I have used just a few items from the torch.They include:
-Battery.
-Bulb.
-The shiny cone shape.
-The switch.
 
ï‚· Moreover, I have put to use some instruments from the store. They include:
-Motor.
-Two converging lenses.
-A glass triangular prism.
 
Manipulation:

ï‚· Cut the cone at certain points and and tilt them to face different angles but the same direction as the source of light.
Merge the cone shape to the motor and connect it to the switch.

ï‚· Using the torch battery and bulb, light it and using the first converging lens focus the light onto the triangular glass prism. The light is refracted and dispersed to different colours.
Using the next bigger converging lens, focus the spectrum to the needed direction and before the different colours merge,
put the cut and shaped rotating shiny cone which will reflect the different colours away forming the disco lights.
 

Below is an attachment for a simple plan for the invention.
