Domenico answers some FAQs:

Thanks for taking the time to inquire about the Green Beam Laser Projector and thank you for your support of Copblock.org.

How much does it cost: $1500 US, Delivery in 14 - 21 days.

How do I pay: Via Paypal, My account name is the same as my email address.

What is included: A professional quality one Watt green laser projector, USB DAC interface and control software.

What you need to provide: A sturdy tripod, Windows laptop, A DC to AC inverter, (12VDC to 110VAC @ 300W)

How is it powered: Easiest is from your vehicle power with a DC to AC inverter. You can also power the with an external 12V battery and inverter. I would suggest minimum of 35AH for 2-3 hours of continuous use.

How to project a message: Simply enter the text you want to project into the "text" box" in the included software and click "start". You can string several messages together with a pause between each one as well. For example, LIVE FREE or DIE....RON PAUL 2012....GOOGLE COPBLOCK.ORG....ROMNEY = OBAMA = ROMNEY=, You get the idea. If your dealing with cars passing by, the message needs to be brief. If  you project at a traffic light you have more time.  

Can it work in daylight: Under normal indoor lighting the laser is still very readable. Outdoors in daylight would not be effective unless projecting into a shadowed area.

Can I make my own graphics: Yes, also included is the ability to project vector graphics. Many pre made graphics are included. Text can be done as vector art as well.

NOTE: messages look better in person than in the video. The capture rate of the camera conflicts with the 12-14FPS  projection rate of the laser.

There is no brochure or web site associated with this project. This is a "grass roots" effort.
