Blu Ray Phaser

After watching a really cool vid made by a guy called Kipkay i decided i'd have a go at trying my hand at making a Blu Ray laser Phaser.... Well after a lot of tinkering i managed to get it all working and i even got the phaser sounds to work along side the laser which i was extremely pleased about...

I added the LEDs (which aren't connect to the power supply as the battery wasn't powerful enough to run everything, and i didn't want to blow the board) which i think gives it a nice touch, i only wish i could of gotten them to work.

This Phaser is available to buy if your interested let me know...

I wish i could say i own the theme track for the new star trek movie but i don't so please don't hold that against me.!!!!!

oh but if you used a ps3 bluray diode will the beam be visible just as your beam showed or will it be just a laser dot

@Hudson21Nguyen

the beam would show up on camera for definite, it doesn't show up to the naked eye unless you have a smoke filled room or you have a way to alter the light that would illuminate the laser beam. in a well lit room the laser just appears as a purple dot but this is still a powerful laser..

I'm actually in the process of building another Blu Ray laser which should take about a week or so depending on time and how long it take for parts to arrive.

you used a ps3 laser diode right if not then what did the diode from before it was extracted?

[MattyNX]

@Hudson21Nguyen

The diode itself didn't come from a PS3 it was an ordinary Blu Ray diode that i bought from Singapore.

[VEDDIESEL]

what diode did you use? what driver? and how many mW's is it?

[MattyNX]

@VEDDIESEL

this is what i used in my phaser project 150mW 405nm Blu-ray Blue-Violet Laser Diode Module Kit

@KirbyKaboose

Well i used contact wire to bridge the 2 points on the circuit board and used superglue to hold it in place (sounds wierd but it worked)

@kidkidkidist

I sold that particular phaser for £60 on ebay

[KirbyKaboose]

how did you get the sound to work alongside it?

[kidkidkidist]

how much would you sell it for?
