To save all the weight, transport logistics, time hassled, and toasty steam oiled fingers, a group could just bring a lap top computer or a portable DVD player and play videos of live steam. Somehow this would loose a lot of appeal for me. On the other hand when our sparky club has a display and steam is forbidden by fire department rules or club desires, then a media display is better than nothing.
Light weight rigid panels made from light diffuser panels with the aluminum skinned laminated foam or plastic corrugated materials seems to be the lightest option. Next lightest would be welding a ladder frame work like Walt has pioneered with a honeycomb or corrugated panels or other surface of choice (chicken or bird aviary grid?)
