No DIY espionage kit is complete without a long-distance listening device, and no DIY long distance listening device is complete unless it uses a sweet laser in some form or fashion. If you agree with that statement, then you`re in luck, because the following project will show how you can use a laser pointer to hear noises from hundreds of feet away.

material : Laser pointer, Old pair of headphones, Cadmium Sulfide Photocell (available at most Radio Shacks or electronics store), Tripod, Binder clips or duct tape, Laptop or other recording device. Plug the headphone jack into your laptop or other recording device. Using binder clips or duct tape, secure the photocell to something sturdy so that it can be easily moved and aligned. Find a room with a window you`d like to spy on, and aim the laser at the window at an angle. Determine where the laser reflects, and situate your photocell so the reflected beam hits the front of the cell. Any noise from inside the room will cause the window to vibrate, which will get picked up by the laser and photocell. You might have to process the raw input to remove unwanted noise and isolate the voices. Check out the cool video to see it in action.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
