DIY: Blu-Ray Laser Phaser

If your a geek then you must have loved the old classic Trek episodes, the one’s with the red shirts that never made it, and what about those over sized phasers (compared to the later Trek series). Well, now thanks to Kip Kay you too can have a cool looking Star Trek phaser that emits a blue laser. By using a classic Trek toy phaser, a blu-ray dvd player diode, a resistor and switch he was able to slap together a phaser that actually fires off a blu(e)-ray.

As always kids, if you want to do this then don’t point the laser into your friends eyes. You could blind him and then be left to read to him comic books for the rest of your life.
