@tjhaywood100 Hi dude. I put the conversions together every once in a while. They're £180 plus p&p. There are only four in existence and if you want one let me know.
I have just finished building 2 of the Mk II versions. They have improved Nimh powerpack, new laser module holder, precision ground glass emitter replacing the original plastic one, trigger and over-load sub-miniature switches and intelligent Nimh charger adapter.
I will sell you one of them for £150 plus mailing. This is NOT a toy anymore. This is a powerful, laser based collectors weapon.
I call fake on this one. Even the powerful lasers by the army that shoot down missles are invisible. Industrial lasers for cutting metal are invisible unless there are gases or fog in the area.
Hi. Industrial lasers are within the 1540 to 700nm range of wavelengths, invisible to the naked eye. I use lasers from astronomers pointers which are 532nm wavelengths. These ultra bright green modules are visible to the naked eye, which is why they are used to point out specific star positions. At night the beam can be seen to travel between 2 1/2 - 3 3/4 miles. Students 8 yards away from the teacher can still see which star he is pointing at. I burnt a post-it to show up my laser in daylight.
You are too kind, sir. Too kind. I am experimenting with glass emitters replacing the acrylic plastic original which should allow a lot more of the laser energy to exit the pistol so I shouldn't need to burn post-it notes to show up the beam lol!
Congratulations on accomplishing the merge of a prop/replica into as close to the REAL DEAL so far.
I would love to have this enhancement (as many others would obviously) for my own prop/replica some day. So, hopefully this knowledge will become more and more available for others to bring our imagination/fantasy to life.
Hi calmike14, that's weird. You're the second person who said they'd like to buy it. I've got a retired pilot from south georgia who wants to buy it in January (he had a large tax bill he had to pay and is a bit strapped for cash at the moment).
There is only one other in existence which a Canadian collector bought for £357. I've got the only other one and, I believe, I'm the only guy to have sync'd in the sound effects to drive the laser.
Hi xilla85, I struggled for 6 months to put the circuitry together. But it was worth every day of head bashing frustration. The transistor chip I used actually drives the beam, modulating the laser precisely in time to the variances of the five difference sound effects.
I'm holding on to the details of the components unless someone is interested in buying the diagram if they want to do a production thing with it then I'm open to offers around £500.
A laser diode from an astronomers teaching aid was used in the conversion. I burnt a piece of plain paper to show the beam as my camera is only a low spec model and couldn't pick up what I could see although the smoke did enhance the beam slightly more than in real time.
Is that a 200 mw laser diode?

@StarTrekRocks100 silly, we all know that there is no such thing as a green laser diode....

Make me an offer, you never know!

Could you tell us how you hooked up the laser to the sound device?

is this fake, or is it one of those DVD burner diode lasers put into a phaser toy?
