The Laser Tunnel Glove!

Remember those cool weapons that pretty much every alien in every sci-fi movie has? That awesome laser weapon he got straped to his arm and shoot without even tuching?
well now you can have one too!

The Tunnel Glove has two modes, tunnel AND dot, and the best thing is that it's activated by clutching a fist
so you don't even need to tuch it, just like in the movies!

**NEW VIDEO ON STEP 7.

For the making of the Tunnel Glove You WILL need a Laser Pointer if you don't already have one, I'd recommend wicked lasers, they are the best out there.

*DONT EVER SHINE A LASER INTO A PERSON OR ANIMALS EYES.

Step 1: Materials

all right! most of these you can find around the house,
you'll need..

1. a video camera cassette box.
2. a thin plastic mirror(can be found in your local arts & craft store)
3. about 15cm of fishing line (the thin kind)
4. a box cutter (needs to be very sharp)
5. a piece of sand paper.
6. a soldering iron.
7. some solder.
8. double sided tape.(art & craft store)
9. superglue.
10. scissors.
11. 2 Zip Ties
12. 1 electric wire
13. a AAA battery house(removed from a tape recorder)
14. elasic band.(arts & craft store)
15. a continues on-off switch (also removed from the same tape recorder)
16. 1 Styrofoam board (arts & craft store)
17. 1 glove(can be any glove)
18. double sided fabric-hooks tape, seen on the secound picture, (arts & craft store)
19. 1 toothpick
20. 1 chopstick
21. small pliers
22. 1 AAA battery
23. 1 mini motor (this is very importent! it must be small, this one was removed from the same tape recoder as the above, CAN BE ALSO FOUND IN OLD WALKMANS.)

If you have a walkman that you dont need then
your probebly set, everything you need is in one of those.

ok, if you have all of these then your ready for step 2.

What I have noticed from watching a cat entranced with a laser image is that it will stalk and try to capture something as if it was where the image appears.  It usually doesn't realize that it is being projected from somewhere else.  The only problem is that if a cat realizes that it can have no effect on the image by pouncing on it, it will quickly give up and ignore it.

[Zrowny]

Do you actually have a cat? Because both of mine can clearly tell what is projecting the image, and they'll often carry my laser pointer in their mouth to me just so they can play. It could just be that my cats are really dumb, or all cats are like that. Hmm....

[thepelton]

No, I don't have a cat, but I regularly visit a friend who does for a monthly club meeting. One other guy who usually shows up, (he has to, since he's a club officer) usually brings a laser for the cat to chase. From what I have noticed, however, many dogs will chase a laser dot with idiotic abandon.

[didgitalpunk]

thats nice! I like your cat by the way : )

[chi chi chippy]

um the cite u gave for lasers is good and all but wat if ur like me and want a cheeper laser say around 10- 20 dollars, were would i might find one

[chi chi chippy]

so ive been doing research you cant get any of the wicked lasers if you live in the usa becuz they are above 5 mW and thos are illegal

[dakkenly]

Hell?

[GorillazMiko]

this is AWESOME! i might do this. most likely. we'll see. (favorited)

[Perfect Sky]

I lost my job...IN APRIL!

[Perfect Sky]

get a fog machine or just spray air freshener. then you got an actual tunnel. that wuld be badass.

[darandriel]

How far can the "beam" go?

[gblasco]

light goes on forever

[Marinus84]

Ehmmm your cat will get permament eye-sight damage. Are you aware of that?

[Chimera14]

Yes, i am.

[Chocolate Moose]

Yeah, your cool "lets blind fluffy with laser"

[Derin]

Well said.

[fwjs28]

muahahahahahaha......*runs out of room with evil plans*

[Ward_Nox]

[Father Christmas]

[Ward_Nox]

[Pixel_Master]

Awesome man! I'm so going to try this!
btw, what you did to the stranger in the last video was just plain evil! And pretty d*mn hilarious, as well! : )
+ and Fav.

[yerjoking]

Wow that looks fun, making a giant green circle around people and following them, scaring them =] +5

[nerd12]

thanks dude it is realy nice i wana try it!!! nerd12

[INVADER SCOOGE]

Could I use a 2.5in. long motor? Also about how much does this cost?

[INVADER SCOOGE]

About how many mW would you suggest the laser have using for this?

[superquack11]

how powerful is it?

[Peek]

Nice idea, and I know my cats love to "play" with my laser pointer, but isn't it a bit crazy to point lasers on an apartment building??

[Doveman]

Only thing, who has 50 bucks to spend on a laser pointer? They are cool though...

[ac1D]

or a noname model from ebay for 5$.. i bough a green one and it is as bright as my 49.99$(the most cheap one) from wickedlaser.

[silverpapermaker]

ya ther cool but 50!!!! i carry 20 around thats it lately

[PoRinteg59]

50 isn't that much. i'm buying one right now!

[dakkenly]

5,000 isn't much.... For a 6500 mw =D

[Doctor-A]

I am planning on making one and i wanted to know how much did it cost to make?

[Chimera14]

it cost about $10 to make (not including the laser) good luck on your build! if you need help just ask.

[ryuk]

WoW that pritty cool, always wanted one of those..

[Spectrace]

i might have missed it but i didnt see where you said how to make it go between a dot and a circle, thats cool, too bad i have one of them cheap laser pointers it wouldnt work to well, nice instructbale

[Chimera14]

the red switch controls the transition between dot and tunnel, and a red laser will work too..

[crapflinger]

might want to actually explain that better to avoid confusion...like "when the motor is on, the mirror will spin and create the "tunnel" beam, when the motor is off the mirror doesn't spin so the beam of the laser just exits without modification to it's path" or some junk next you need to make the nifty "predator" targeting system (remember the 3 triangle deals?)

[Ward_Nox]

just use 3 laser pointers the ring would look diff but so what

[Chimera14]

Just added an explanation in step 4, the "predator" targeting system is something a thought about making a for a long time.. and it the next order of business!
