ok so i have a whole bunch of infrared lights and a bunch of white LEDs and blue LEDs and red LEDs and a pair of snowboarding goggles and some old cameras and binoculars. is there anyway i can make night vision out of those if so can you please tell me how to or send me a video cause i cant one. i can also get other parts if needed. thanks
ok so well so i have my camera and i did see the remote light up so now im gonna try to attach it to the goggles and rig like15 infrared LEDs to the goggles and attach them to a power source and ill tell u how it goes
Before starting you need a sterile place to assemble the things that you can’t buy or don’t have the equipment needed or knowledge required.D

If you mean that you have some old digital cameras – maybe. There are infrared filters on most lenses to block IR…this would need to be removed.
A combo of a hacked camera and binoculars might do the job.

You could use the emitter from your LightSabre.
They sell night vision that actually works for not a lot of money.

you need infrared LEDs for that, you can actually buy infrared camera illuminator kits which just require soldering and a power source of voltage specified in the kit or it will come with a battery adapter
also you might need to remove an infrared filter from the camera lens assembly, a good way to test if you do or not is just look through the camera at the front of a tv remote and if you can see the LED on the front light up then you dont need to remove the filter, also i assume you have digital cameras
you could just rig up the cameras to the snowboarding goggles with some heavy duty wire and affix the wire it to the cameras and goggles in some way(like using epoxy)
EDIT:
you will want to use the brightest infrared leds you can find, not just ones scavenged from remotes
@TheM: the homemade night vision goggles dont use a tube like the ones you buy and instead use how cameras can see infrared and humans cant, also that makes them cost really little and still be able to see color

Don’t listen to these guys that say you can’t do it… I saw a documentary about a guy who built a time machine with a De Lorean automobile. So what you’re attempting should be easy.

All the answers about IR is BS. Night vision goggles have nothing to do with that. IR and other people’s BS answer content is used with a night vision device…..not as a part of it…..to see in total darkness……all of those usually leak and can be seen.
Go buy one.M
