What happens if I put undeveloped 8mm film in a projector?

I know it won't good at all. Although, I don't know how bad.

I wanted to experiment with it.

Answer
You won't see anything. The film will then be exposed to light and you won't be able to develop an image from it afterward. Also, since it is opaque, there's a good chance that the heat from the projector lamp will melt it.

Where can I find a good 8mm film projector?

And how can I digitize my tapes? I have a Sony HDD video camera. If taping it against a white wall is the way to go, I have no problem with that.
They're not 8mm cassette tapes, but they're old film reels. They're really small. I think they're 8mm, anyway...

Answer
The "proper" way to digitize 8mm reels is to buy a rather expensive machine which projects the image directly onto a lens and then a CCD, providing the best possible quality.

However, using a white screen/wall, a dark room, a tripod and a decent video camera can yield good results too. You can find used 8mm projectors on ebay - aim for one made by one of the bigger brands such as Braun as bulbs may not otherwise be readily available.
