Challenge: Create a sound of a futuristic engine, weapon, or scanner (think Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Stargate).

UPDATE:
I created and recorded some sounds, mashed them up, manipulated them, and came up with the sound of some kind of futuristic machine. I imagine it as some kind of large scanning device. I also have the individual elements separately in order to show what went into layering the final sound.
