Awsome close up of the Phaser on all blast settings

Thought I would take a close up shot of the laser converted Phaser going through it's paces. This is as it came out of my PowerShot A630 Canon, no editting apart from exporting it into WMV in Windows Movie Maker for youtube.

@melroy89 Hi. The sound effects are generated by the Mk I Phaser (the little black unit mounted on top of the pistol body). They are produced by a chip programmed by Art Asylum from genuine recordings from the original series and feature Stun, Warm, Kill, Vapourise and Overload. Personally I love it to bits.

Hi finalfrontier1701, No editing at all. I am cursed with a low grade digital camera the video settings of which are woefully inadequate. I burnt a Post-it note which allowed the camera to pick up the beam, but rather too enthusiastically. This is not a faithful rendition of that the Phaser looks like but if you watch the latest upload, this, at least is much closer to how it looks in real time.

The laser works best at night when fired up into the stars.

Ah ha! A lot of research and graft went into designing the circuit. The sound module of the hand-held unit actually drives the laser in proper modulated format so the beam pulses in time to the varying sound lengths. I'm the only designer to have cracked this problem I think, looking at the other examples of conversions out there.

@finalfrontier1701 I have to correct you on that my friend. Most lasers that you normally see are so weak that you cannot see them but this one is very powerful, way over the 5mw reds you see at the dollar tree. Plus this is green so the eye picks up green a lot more than red and your camera is designed to do the same. You are partially correct though because according to the Tyndale effect light passed through a colloid like air it will be dispersed. The strong light hits dust in the air.PEACE
