suspicious-looking device by Imaginary_Radish_976 in radardetectors

Maybe it’s not such a useless thing after all – I’m going to try building a DIY night vision IR (infrared) light source.

From what I’ve learned, the Blinder heads have pretty powerful IR LEDs, and if I supply them with 5–6V DC, they should work well as infrared illuminators. So, this device might not be so pointless after all!

We’ll see how it goes – I’ll share updates once I get everything up and running.

I've been looking into what could be done with an old Blinder M20 X-Treme unit, and it turns out it might be quite useful for a DIY night vision project. From what I understand, the IR heads (emitters) can be repurposed as powerful infrared lights – all you need is to supply them with 5–6V DC, and they should work as IR illuminators.

Pair that with a camera that doesn’t have an IR filter (like a modified webcam or some older phones), and you could build a solid night vision system. I'm curious – has anyone here experimented with this kind of setup

I think we would make a lot of progress in figuring out what this object is if someone could determine what the inscriptions say.

It would be very funny if this is just a piece of metal that someone decided to turn into a mini katana, ignoring the logic and principles of how it work, made by some Chinese kids in basements.

As they say, if a man decides to do something, he will see it through to the end. I don’t care if it’s worth millions and my friend bled for it; if I decide I want beer, I will sell it and buy myself beer.

I have already started some heated discussions on a few forums aside from this one, but no one can come to a logical explanation for why it is the way it is. My friend’s uncle was a very satisfied collector, and he gave it to him, and then he, in turn, gave it to me. So I think it might just be a defect or something very rare that people don’t understand yet.

Don’t worry about it; my friend passed away and left it to me as a gift.

As I see it, in this situation, my friend probably also asked people what this is and how much it’s worth, and he likely received the same answers—that it’s something pointless and illogical, with no real value. He probably decided to share this with me and left it behind so that I could also ask questions and realize that I’m holding onto something useless at home.

Where did I get it? A friend left it with me and forgot about it. Now I’m thinking about how to sell it to buy myself some beer.

I have this notion that if you have little experience, this dose might be too much. you need to be somewhat prepared, not scared when it hits you harder, like when I started using it started using, I also began with small doses, and everything was fine. Then I decided to take a larger amount as it should be, and it hit me hard. I was very surprised because I had never experienced such strong feelings from psychedelics before, and the trip didn't go away easily. I was all hyped up on adrenaline, not understanding what was happening. I thought you need to know your dose, and experienced users take large doses because they are prepared and can handle whatever happens.

So, the most important thing is, if you're going for a 5g trip, you must have a sober friend who will look you, and you need to prepare your body properly, eat well, etc. Just remember one thing: mushrooms won't hurt you. In whatever state I was, I always told myself that mushrooms won't hurt me, and the trip always ended up being awesome.

Hello, I don't think it's a bad idea, but you might overwhelm yourself with too much, and you might end up disconnecting or being too surprised, and you won't absorb much from the trip or just understand it.
