Hello Flagg,
I created a 3D model for the Star Trek (like) TriCorder for a company and decided to take it to the next level. I still have to get their permission to use their case design, but the electronics are streight forward. I am using some parts that I have laying around; mostly from old cell phones. I don't have a lot of time to put in on the development of the device for now, because I am trying to finish an Associates degree in Architectural Drafting.
Did you ever see the report from MIT about the Super Cold experiments? They developed an atom or matter laser. Yes, you read that right, it is a laser that transmits matter. Very ausome. I sent them an email a year ago asking for the specifics on how the laser is built and how it works but did not get a reply. bummer. Check it out.
