Combine your ipod and a laser to send your music on the beam. Easy project that anyone can do. Well, you do need a little soldering skill...

  • is this device had capability transmit video just like fiber optic? if so, i will need two lasers video and audio right?

  • @payperview9pmet The laser modulates brightness, which is easy for audio, but I don't think video would work... But give it a try and let me know!

  • also what can i use for the amp? i don't suppose regular computer speakers would work.

  • @kranic3 Ah, I'm not sure.  The 'amp' must be amplified. Computer speakers might work but I've never used one. If you plug it into a power supply then I suspect it is amplified. Good luck.

  • Radio Shack online still sells the transformer. About $4

  • A simple 1 to 1 transformer (no longer carried by Radio Shack) can be easily made. Take two pieces of magnet wire about 2 meters long. Mark the ends of each. Wrap this around a nail. One wire becomes the primary and the other is the secondary. Electromagnetism is fun.

  • Damn, i want that whiteboard!!

  • @Starcross42 i ended us using a set of amplified speakers from the dollar store. only 2 bucks.

  • i finished it. Amazing. i burned out the first laser i got somehow (only used 4.5 volts) but i got a new one. This was a very cool project and pretty cheap. thanks Starcross42!

  • @Starcross42 i just found it at radio shack online, but i live in Canada and they only ship to the states. i tried circuit city and they don't have one. i might try the thing with the nail. really love this video. im just starting a course in photonics
