Would anyone here...

Be able to build a working 10ish mw bluray in an old Leadlight or CNI case? I'm getting very close to trying to get mine, but the more I think about it, the more I want it in a traditional pen style case. Is there anyway this could be done, or is it just not practical?

Forgive my noobishness!

Getting the required 4.5v may be your problem if the lead light case is designed for 2 X AA batteries.
You need a driver as well and that will require extra volts to run it..... around 7.2volts would do it with a 7805 based driver.

AHAHAHA you wrote regards, rog8811 twice!!!
*erhm* please excuse that little outburst of childishness, must be the board ; ) Anyways.


You might be able to do something with 18650 (i think that's the number), as they are AA-sized batteries with 3.7V.
Still, tweaking is required.

Do those cases contain a driver, or atleast have space for that?

I did an extra one so that I wouldn't have to sign this one

or cut down a boost circuit to fit and produce about 5 - volts

I'm workign on a boost circuit for the next iteration of my driver. Power a BluRay from only 3V. (ish)

two 10440 aaa LiIon cells would give you about 7.2 volts. Then you need a driver for regulation. Neat project idea.

Are those things rechargeable? If so, that's the direction I'm heading.

 

[f22warzone]

yes they are

AA sized? LOL, no they are significantly bigger unfortunately.

i think he means 15500s lol

Ugh, then I messed up. Anyways, there are rechargeable Lithiums, AA-sized out there, giving you around 3.7V. This might be the batteries you want, but I apparently don't know their name.

Please note that they can't be charged in a regular AA charger, you'll need a special one for them. Just in case you wouldn't know.

I'm working on a 0.35" x0.47" one-cell inverter fo

By the end of next week, I should have tested a tiny 0.35" x0.47" one-cell inverter for bluray (can power both violet or red).  It will easily fit in an Aixiz housing, and possibly two will.  It also features a touch control that makes use of the voltage created when you touch two dissimilar metals, thus keys or paperclips won't be able to turn it on.  And it will suck that 1.5v (or 3v, or  4.5v) battery down to <0.5v before quitting.  I use the Texas Instruments TPS61201 (3.3v) and TPS61202 (5v) converters, which you can get free samples of at their wesite (careful, they are only 3mm square!).  I'll publish all the info when I get them tested and probably try to sell a few of the converter circuits. Oh, and it has built in reverse battery protection via FET (drops less than 0.04v!).
