Night Vision Scope Book...

THUNDERLORD · Fri Mar 20, 2009 10:41 am

So I was waiting to get on-line in a library and found a cool book.
It looks like useful information for night vision scopes or even adding bionic hearing as well to a launcher.
I just skimmed over it but it looks modern and useful!
Link to Amazon Books
Anyone got info on these or similar? 8)

BTW, Moderator please delete this if it takes up to much space!
Thanks. 8)

Oh man this stuff looks neat. Too bad they stop just short of a laser rangefinder. THAT'S what I've been trying to figure out how to do easily, I need one for a spudgun project I have planned for next year.

what u need is a pinhole camera, a veiw finder from an old camera, a IR LED illuminater, and somethin to house it all in.

i'm still tryin to get the view finder.

Now all I need is one that goes into the high-infrared range for heat vision, instead of night vision. THAT would prove useful.

I still want that book.

I bet there's lots of old golf range finders on ebay. As the new season approaches I'm sure there will be lots of people selling them for newer models.

They seem to be pretty accurate, I've seen them read withing a couple yards of the posted yardage. Although I wouldn't be suprised if that was off by a little.

@seaking

That doesn't happen to be your air burst shell project does it? If you get that working it would be a beast.

Well, it miiiight be.... Now, you don't think I could tear those rangers apart and easily obtain a signal that a PIC16F684 can use, do you?

I got that ebook, I'm uploading at this moment...

Edit: There you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/211551990/1 ... 3.pdf.html

O and btw you could've tried to download it with a torrent program(like I did

)

SEAKING9006 · Fri Mar 20, 2009 3:13 pm

Don't have one, 'tis a real hindrace.

Otherwise I would probably be a pro at using blender or something by now.

Thanks! I was looking for a mic preamp circuit to compare my design with, and this book had one in the first chapter...fancy that

This book is filled with stuff that I had been wanting to learn. Now, to find an image sensor in the 900-14,000 nm ('heat-infrared', as it's sometimes called) range.....

EDIT; Hell, I just realized that if you combine this series with the Anarchist's Cookbook, you'd be set for life.

But even then you have no reason to abandon a resource like Wikipedia.

actually, no. The Anarchist's Cookbook is actually the Anarchist's guide to getting caught or killed. It is largely filled with misinformation, and archaic names of chemicals, designed to set off all sorts of alarms at chemical companies.
For 20 versions straight (or what ever it has been now) people have been complaining about problems, asking the writer to fix them in the next edition, yet they still remain. Do NOT use it at all.
Instead, I would like to direct your attention to http://freeinfosociety.com/
Check out their E-Books. They have so much interesting stuff there.

To tell you the truth I have know idea what the hell you just said.

I'm not really that tech savvy.

I just checked on ebay, the ones that actually use lasers and not just a golf version of a mil dot scope are about 100 dollars.This article explains how they work so you might be able to figure out if it will work. Think chronograph but different.

For 100 dollars I would want to be pretty sure that it would work.

could you link to the torrent? and your rapidshare expired. just FYI

edit: torrent:http://isohunt.com/download/50826232/Sp ... ts.torrent

it is a torrent for more than the spy one, but you can just not download those.

iemand · Thu Apr 02, 2009 4:27 pm

And yet again, I've uploaded the book to rapidshare:

If anyone needs it you can always send me a PM, so you don't need to kick an old topic.

I already know exactly how they work, got that down-pat. And they don't work like chronys at all, unless you want a 200 foot resolution. They use trigonometry based on where on the photoreceptor the laser hits and obtaining angles from it. I'm in calculus right now so the math is the easiest part. What I need is a hardware/software setup that WON'T cost a fortune or take months to design. I don't mess with analog to digital.

Now if someone shipped a freaking digital RFer with 1 foot resolution I would be so happy. A heat-spectum CCD would also be nice.
