How to Create a Phone Roof Projector: Step-by-Step Guide
Are you interested in creating a phone roof projector but dont know where to start? Worry no more; weve got you covered with this step-by-step guide on how to create a homemade phone roof projector.
A phone roof projector works by magnifying the light emitted by your phones screen and projecting it onto a surface, essentially turning your phone into a mini-projector.
Materials needed:
• Shoebox
• Magnifying glass
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Black construction paper
• Hot glue gun
• Duct tape
• Smartphone
Step 1: Measure and Cut
Begin by measuring the distance between your phones screen and the magnifying glass. This will give you an idea of the distance you need to place the magnifying glass from your phones screen to achieve maximum projection.
Once you have measured and determined the distance, use your ruler and pencil to draw a rectangle on the longer side of the shoebox. Cut out the rectangle using your scissors, making sure the edges are smooth.
Step 2: Attach the Magnifying Glass
Take your magnifying glass and place it on the hole you just cut out. Make sure the magnifying glass is centered and trace around it with your pencil. Cut out the circle you just traced using your scissors.
Use your hot glue gun to attach the magnifying glass to the shoebox, making sure it is securely fixed in place.
Step 3: Create the Phone Holder
To hold your phone in place, cut out a small piece of black construction paper that is wide enough to hold your phone and long enough to fit inside the shoebox. Fold it into a V-shape and tape it to the inner side of the shoebox.
Step 4: Final Touches
Using black construction paper, cover the inside of the shoebox, making sure to cover all the edges and corners with duct tape. This will ensure that no light escapes from the shoebox, making the projection clearer.
Now, turn off the lights, place your phone in the holder, and project the image onto a flat surface!
