There ’s probably a good reason — involving lawsuit and lawyers — why toymakers do n’t let in do work superlasers on their Death Star playsets . But sincePatrick Priebedoesn’t architectural plan on selling his Death Star reproduction to the public , he had no qualm about including a terrific 84 - James Watt laser .
Priebe ’s Death Star replica start life as a beachball covered with bed of fiberglass that was finally finished off with atomic number 13 panels glued to the outside . It for sure looks the part , but functionality was the prominent priority for this particular build .
The Death Star ’s reflector — or superlaser focus electron lens as it ’s often referred to — was surrounded with 14 six - W grim lasers that could be fastidiously adjusted using four mount gaoler on each one . Eventually Priebe was able to get all 14 ray to meet at a single position , creating 84 - watts of metal - thaw merriment .
With a full price ticket of around $ 4,500 this is n’t exactly a cheap DIY projection either . And while Priebe ’s Death Star still wo n’t destroy a planet , he ’s still move to need to be careful about where he points the business end . [ YouTubeviaGizmag ]
