Night Vision Scope From Scavenged Parts

Posted by timothy on from the see-in-the-dumpster dept.

Caydel writes "Greg Miller appears to have built a Night Vision Scope out of an image intensifier tube, and parts he found mostly in dumpsters. Also on Greg's site: Flyback transformers, coil guns, plasma globes and Tesla coils made from dumpster materials." You get the feeling he's not also writing product safety manuals on the side.

    I built a IR scope in 1988 (in high school) from a surplus tube, a transformer from an old monitor, and some surplus optics.

    It won me a $500 scholarship from the Army, which paid for my freshman Biology textbooks when I got to college.
