Laser Tag Alarm Clock!

Posted in Alarm Clocks, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Laser by max on the July 18th, 2008 at 11:21 am

Laser Tag Alarm Clock!

Here’s a cool Alarm Clock you need to aim perfectly in the bullseye to turn the alarm clock off.

Of course, if you are a good aimer, this might not be an effective way for you to wake up.

Perfect for those who like the “snooze” button, this alarm will not cease until you successfully hit the bull’s-eye! Light, date, time- and alarm-set buttons on base.

DIY - How to Build a Hard Disk Green Laser Projector!

DIY - How to Build a Hard Disk Laser Scanner!

DIY - How to Build a Hard Disk Laser Scanner!

Here’s a really cool DIY showing you how to build a hard disk laser scanner made from bunch of old hard disks.

My latest tinkery hardware and embedded systems project is a homebrew laser scanner. You know, the kind you see at planetariums- sweep a laser beam around on the wall really fast, and draw vector graphics. Commercial laser scanners have been around for decades now, but buying a complete system is still really pricy, even on eBay. Besides, where’s the fun in that?

There are plenty of examples of homebrew laser scanners on the internet. Many people have wired up a pair of loudspeakers, hard disk actuators, or other readily available mechanisms to an amplifier and used them for simple laser graphics. This will make some pretty wiggly patterns on the wall, but it isn’t a real vector graphics display. The best example I know of for a totally built-from-scratch laser projector (not using commercial galvo actuators) actually uses custom hand-wound galvanometers. Very nice.

Zedomax DIY - How to Make a Simple Green Laser Projector!

Since I have been playing with green lasers for about a year, I never saw any good use for them except to point them to the sky or buildings.

Since the green laser has a lot of power, especially the one DragonLasers sent me recently, I decided it was time to make a simple green laser projector without me spending days to build one.

This simpler green laser projector was made so I could use it for my next party and I always wanted to make this. Although this laser projector only does one animation, 2 whirpools, I planned to improve upon after making this very basic version.

For complete DIY HOWTO, click here

When the motor is stopped, it also displays a bunch of green laser stars like this:

DragonLasers Spartan 250mW Green Laser Reviewed! DragonLasers Spartan 250mW Green Laser Reviewed!2

(During the day killing a bug in my shoe and in my dark bathroom)

Remember I did a review on a 125mW Viper green laser last year?

Well Frank from DragonLasers sent me a Spartan GW 250mW green laser so I can show you guys how cool it is. The beam is much bigger this time and as you can see in the video, it’s WAY more powerful. Everytime my friends come over, they are hogging me to get them a free green laser. It’s really something you don’t need but once you see one in real life, you need it.

This is a special review of giant green lasers on the market today.

Since I was getting tired of my little measly 125mW green laser from DragonLasers, I was going to go on shopping for a super-giagantic laser that will fulfill my dreams. (So I can burn stuff from miles away from my 12th floor apartment without getting caught…)

Device that can see through walls

Posted in Cameras, Computer, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Laser, Microwave, x-ray by david on the December 23rd, 2007 at 12:00 pm

Now this may be considered good by some people and really bad by others, but whatever the general consensus of opinion this thing is out and no doubt somebody somewhere is using this to spy on someone else.

lobster

This device uses the lobster vision, which is exactly what they say it is. It uses the same principle of vision as a lobster would to find its way through the murky waters.

But there are issues here too, the devices uses a type of x ray, which I believe could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands or even the right hands, so should this device be available to just anyone? I hope not!
