Blu-Ray Laser Phaser!

Step 5 Finish the Blu-Ray...

You will want to gently install the Blu-Ray diode im the Aixiz laser housing by using a small pair of pliers or vice-grips. NOTE: The wiring to the 9 volt battery clip should be done after you have run the wires to the battery compartment. You will understand when you look at it. The diode should fit flush to the housing. Then, solder the Negative (-) wire to the switch and a wire from the other leg of the switch to the black wire on the 9 volt clip. Then solder the Positive (+) wire from the diode to one end of the Resistor and solder the red wire from the 9 volt clip to the other end of the resistor. Hot glue or epoxy (I use hot glue so if I ever want to remove the Blu-Ray, it's an easy task) the Aixiz housing to the original lightbulb mount.

This is going to be a dumb question, but how do you get the freaking top half of the axiz housing off??? lol And after you get it off, do you not use the bottom half?

Always point lasers at your face while running with scissors. Gasoline helps. Why is it that so many people want to cry about dangerous stuff? If you're worried about it, don't do it. If you're stupid enough to do something dangerous that you know nothing about you deserve to get hurt. ITS CALLED NATURAL SELECTION FOLKS.

He makes it look so damn easy , and says it with such enthusiasm that any moron is already tearing his dvd player apart. And what you really want is BENZINE JA.

lol like school zone lights by high school. if there stupid enough to run out in the street something wants them dead

I hope that you get caught using this thing in public. You can be fined up to $300,000.

AND you'll be violating the Prime Directive....oooohhhhh

[BuffaloNickel]

like only if u point it at a plane.

....you forgot to mention running along the pool barefoot with hot coffee....

[teamcoltra]

 COFFEE IS HOT?!

[vandal1138]

Actually it was intentionally left out. The cold pool water cancels out the hot coffee. Now, gnawing on shotgun shells while smoking a cigarette.....

Hey, what about heating up a melon in the microwave, making a hole in it with an apple corer, and inserting pen!s into it? That isn't dangerous at all... Even better if you fill it with hot glue before you stick it in!

[eggbert99]

hey kip what is the point of the axiz laser housing? becase i am trying to make one without the axiz laser housing . if you do need the laser housing can i make my own?

[benny1123]

you need the housing because it has a lense

Kip-
There's NO WAY that's gonna run for more than a few hours without any sort of current and voltage regulator. These diodes run at ~6V and somewhere between 35 and 90 mA. (The current required varies) As Shikari said on the first page, these are supposed to have a lifetime of 5000 hours- you're cutting that down to almost nothing by doing this. And, there should be more of a heatsink than the AixiZ module just to be safe.
Everyone else-
PLEASE, PLEASE read everything you can at www.laserpointerforums.com BEFORE you try any laser mods, Kipkay's or otherwise- You will learn more than you thought possible, and stay safe to boot. These are INCREDIBLY dangerous... Kip's MiniMag mod is, of course, quite high powered for a handheld laser, and this one is Short-Wave- an even more serious hazard to your skin, eyes, etc... Everything bad that happens with a laser is one more step closer to having them banned. Do all us serious enthusiasts a favor and STUDY STUDY STUDY before you try stuff like this. ;-)

Thanks for your warning, even though I am not going to make this. Lasers are dangerous indeed, I heard rumors about lasers causing fatal injure to the naked eye and even damaging the skin when they are used without protection, even though I'm no expert. Is this true?

Here's a thread about this hack from www.laserpointerforums.com

Sounds like it's a bad idea in general to run the laser off just a battery and a resistor. A constant-current regulator is ideal, but if you're going cheap and cheesy, it's a good idea to add a capacitor (to dampen spikes that can kill the laser) and maybe a trimpot. (Individual lasers of the same make and model vary; the same voltage that barely gets one to lase may kill another. You can adjust the voltage with a trimpot so your laser is nice and bright but not going to fry immediately.)

I'm not a laser guy, and my understanding of these things is vague, but it sounds like folks over at www.laserpointerforums.com could be helpful in improving this thing.

Kipkay has a schematic for a driver circuit on his 007 laser weapon project. Would that work well enough?
