Hi Newtonn. First i would like to give you thanks for sharing you knowledge in the world and i impressed with your projects. However i have some minor doubts on creating my own projector. Appriciate if you could clear those. I bought a Appolo odyssy 11000 OHP from US through one friend, but in india it requires 50$ (2000 rs /-) voltage converter to operate. I took converter from one friend and it didn't booted up. its bulb power is 410w/82 V. Looks like some problem is in its PCB. however replacing the production and getting back another i thought of some alternatives, but want your opinion please. * I could replace the PCB and the bulb by indian voltage (230 V) operated MH 400 Watt buld, that is not costing me more than 50$ here including ballast with inbuilt capcitors. so that would run in indian voltage without converter. But i have doubt on running its 2 fans that look like CPU fans but couldn't get volt / power rating on it. Please provide me your thoughts. * Due to its portable design, i am thinking to use its own cabinet for LCD projector by using 7" car lcd dvd player. i have attached the pics of projector, but can you please give me a rough diagram for placing lenses LCD mirrors in side the cabinet. Please provide me length width in inches for cutting the fresnal mirror and glasses for best outcome. here is specifications of projector. http://www.mmvideosystems.com/video_equipment_rental/equipment_detail/apollo_11000_odyssey.html And i am going to use 600x480resolution below LCD screen http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120610726143&fromMakeTrack=true Spec - Item Description TFT Active Matrix Mobile LCD Monitor Built-In Dome Light Use 7" TFT LCD display panel Super High quality Picture High Resolution Display Wide viewing angle: 120 °horizontal 100°vertical NTSC/PAL Auto Switchable Full function remote Power consumption: 8W Power supply: 12V DC * - I have doubt on using condenser lens, the projector have not any, where i could get and what type? I am very sorry to asking may be very minor things but i am a newby here so please assist. Thanks, Abhishek

Hello! Newton. Your projector is impressive. Could you possibly tell me the weight and dimension of your projector

Also, Have you used any uv/ir filter? i heard projection get awesome results by using this? It is very costly to get so want to confirm that before buying?

did u use a ballast didnt see ne could u give me a quick tip as to how use one

hi newtonn just quickly but what is the diameter of your triplet lens and the magnification if you know that too. thank you :)

 hi there 
i could realy do with some help i have dismantled my ohp!! the transformer has seven outputs and one of then doesnt have any wires but that is not the point its just that it ways a tonne. that means the projector will do. i mean does yours and if not i dont think i need all the outputs is there a lighter one i could use? i cant say the voltage really. the brown wire says 240V and the blue one common! 

i cant wait to build one of these but the only problem is that i cant find ohp's anywhere not even on ebay (80 dollars+ ). BTW how did you cut the frezel lens out becuse it wont load that picture. Also how big is the dimentions of your lcd screen and cut out lens. thank you

is this a good monitor to use:

thankyou, btw where else can you by a a triplet lens from?

 Best projector I've seen on instructables.

struggleing to find a cheap OHP???? ask the teachers at the wood, metal works because usually the school asks them to repair them but i asked and got two for free. all that was wrong is that both bulbs had blown. good luck

hey newtonn, its me again. on my small projector, I have wired everything up to the laptop charger and the switch and it all works.  I am putting everything in the box and was wondering were you got the screw in this picture http://www.instructables.com/file/F4MDADPFRXWGXGF from? I need something like this and was wondering if you know were i can get one? I have a cd drive but dont know were it may be in it? Please reply asap.

thanks in advance

 i am having a lot of trouble with heating. i dont get it how yours could stay at 30-35 C.  i am using a 500w halogen bulb.  i have 2 tempered glasses between the light source and the LCD , and i also have 3 fans(2 between light and tempered glass and one between glass and fresnel) all of them are blowing air OUT of the box ( should i put one to blow in?? though i tried this and still didnt work) and still the temperature goes way over 50C after 10-15 min.... what else should i try ( except from changing my light source since i dont want to sped any  more money on this project) . looking for an answer.

thank you

 hi i dont get one thing.

 so first light source then condenser lens  then fresnel lens  then lcd and finally ohp lens (i wont be using a mirror) -- is it the right order or i am missing somenthing  --. hope you will answer

i know but the thing is if i'm going to buy it in ebay i should know the model, and you cannot see it in ebay, but you , you already know, thanks a lot sir i know you always help and easy to approach, take care, can i know the model of what you use .... thanks

hi again sir, by the way what brand is your ohp and what model ? i'm using the lens of mitsubishi projector but it seems it will not work in this project its pretty good lens.
