Proof of Work: Park 2 of 2


I drew this diagram to show how the light source is eventually split into multiple beams. A 12V DC motor rapidly rotates (in an arc) a small square mirror connected by a push rod. The mirror, on a bell crank, reflects the light source being shown into it into a "fan" of light. This fan of light passes through the splitter - a divide that only allows light through the evenly spaced slits. These newly separate beams of light are reflected vertically by a second mirror, now ready to be interrupted/played.

Proof of Work: Part 1 of 2


This is the laser beam light source (still in one initial beam).

I have been busy with other things and have not made any progress on my laser harp the past three weeks. I hope to work on it this thursday. Proof of work will be posted after.
