Dave makes night vision!!!
14 January, 2015, 23:59
Night Vision is cool. Really cool.
So when a friend pointed out that a surplus shop was selling P8079HP tubes from Challenger Tanks for £35 a go, I simply couldn't resist.
Weighing in at a wopping 1kg, these triple cascade gen 1 tubes offer a gain of 100,000x which is on par with modern gen3+ systems, but at a massively increased size and weight.
So I've ordered the tube, I'm building a power regulator circuit with a friend and we're manufacturing ourselves a pair of rugged water proof housings using simple tools, with a few flash bits made using a laser cutter/3d printer.
I'll put up progress pics here as it happens

Re: Dave makes night vision!!!
Exciting stuff Dave, be great to watch it's progress, clever stuff indeed.........(How's the neutron bomb out of a shoe box, light bulb and two coke tins coming along ? lol) ...seriously though, well done mate, very impressive.
"This is my rifle, it's just a toy one, there are many like it, they're toy ones too, without it, i'm £250 better off, without me, it gathers dust in the corner, we're just big boys playing soldiers, lets try and remember that" play fair have fun.

Re: Dave makes night vision!!!
Hello
I want a p8079hp tube to make me a night vision for a very long time, I'm french and I do not find this material in France, so my question: est'il possible to ship it to me one copy?
The price and shipping was my charge, your price will be mine, I have a paypal account to pay
I really hope a positive response to my request
Sincerely, Alain
