Man Builds Working 'Star Trek' Style Phaser

Man Builds Working 'Star Trek' Style Phaser, Man builds working 'Star Trek' style phaser, blasts a balloon, Trekkies will surely salute this man, who shows off his homemade 'Star Trek' weapon by exploding a balloon. But is it real? Decide for yourself. We don't use the term "American hero" loosely, but it's no stretch to apply it to the guy who made a real-life Star Trek phaser that seems able to totally explode a balloon.

That popped balloon means this thing is a viable weapon, and the video does not look faked. (Although who knows; remember bird man?) We will join Trekkies everywhere in holding up our hands, fingers parted at the middle, in salute to the pure ingenuity and dedication of a DIY phaser.
