He held many patents in Fiber-optics and Lasers.




SFOK Kit

fiber optics  solar kit


A SOLARIZED FIBER OPTIC KIT !!!

UNIQUE !!!!!!!!!! Only one like it in the WORLD !!!!!

THIS KIT ALLOWS YOUR DISPLAY TO STAY LIT UP ALL NIGHT

(not like other products that light up only 3-5 hours after sundown.)

THIS KIT MAKES A GREAT PROJECT FOR KIDS IN SCHOOL.

They can learn how Fiber Optics and Solar work, both at the same time.

It teaches them creativity.

Now you can make your own display, or whatever you choose to light up, with the FIBER OPTICS and by using re-chargeable batteries with a SOLAR PANEL, you can now have the display lit up all night, if you like, or you can put a switch in the line and light it up when you want to. A NEW Super Brite LED provides the lighting. The panel can re-charge the batteries even 20 feet or more away from the display so that the SOLAR PANEL can be placed in a window getting the most SUN, and the display can be distant from it ( extra wire not included ). The LED does not light during the day. Kit comes with a Solar Panel, battery holder for 4 AA size NiMH  rechargeable batteries ( batteries included ), 200 feet of clear, 20 mil, plastic Fiber Optics ( 100 fibers each 2 feet long ), heat shrink material, electronic circuit block, day-night light sensor, super brite white LED, and direction sheet for assembling. No housing is included, as you make your own with imagination. Light up a garden plant, figurine eyes or outline, table floral display, picture or picture frame, wall display, waterfall, write your name type display.

# SFOK-1------------$59.95 each plus $6.00 for S&H in the USA.

This # SFOK-2 kit has the same as #SFOK-1 kit except the fibers included are in coil form and each fiber is 9" long and there are 100 fibers to the coil. This coil can be readily sprayed out into a 9" diameter Fiber Optic Spray or a three tiered Fiber Optic spray 8" tall by 9" in diameter. No housing is included in either kit.

                         Additional LED's can be added---up to 4. Each additional LED is $5.00 extra.

NEW FIBER OPTICS

plastecs fiber optics and solar panels

Glass Fiber Optic Image Conduit ( Guide)

These conduits are fused glass fibers that are coherently arranged so that an image on one end is transmitted immediately to the other end. 

The conduit contains 50u ( 0.002") fibers. The conduit is 3mm (0.125") in diameter. 1 foot lengths are available. The ends are cleaved. Polished ends can be ordered at an additional cost.

# GFIC-1-----------1 foot length---------- $14.00 each-----

S&H $7.00 in the USA.



Plastic Fiber Optic

Image Conduit(Guide)


These conduits are fused plastic fibers that are coherently arranged so that an image on one end is immediately transferred to the other end. The conduit contains 10,000 individual fibers. Diameter is 0.080"

# PFIC-1------------1 foot length-----------unfinished ends--$9.00 each-- 

 # PFIC-2------------1 foot length-----------polished ends-----$15.00 each--

S&H $9.00 in the USA. 

                                     
                                                         
                                                              Formed Plastic Fiber Optic Coil.

                     Coil is about 5" diameter and contains 100 individual  20 mil (0.020") clear fibers.
                                                                         
                                                                               Each fiber is 9" long.

# FPFOC-1------$5.00 each. Minimum order 2 coils. While they last. S&H $7.00 in the USA.

 


OTHER FIBER OPTICS:

Ball Magnifier

This is a pocket type sample of what Fused Fiber Optics is all about. It demonstrates the abilty of this item to raise any printed material from a piece of paper or photograph to the top of this 2" length of Fused Image Guide. At the same time, a magnifying sphere is fused to the top of this Guide and you can more clearly see the wording or photo in about a 2X magnification. There are about 4,000 individual transmitting fibers in each of these Guides. Each fiber is about 50 microns in diameter, and they are placed side by side, coherently along the length of each Ball Magnifier. This produces a perfect image of what the other end of the bundle is resting on.

# BM-1-----$9.50 each includes  $5.00 S&H.



FIC-1

Fused Image Conduit Pack

This is an example of what can be done with fused bundles of Fiber Optics other than straight lengths. In this series of Image Conduits, we show that the fused bundles can be bent into many different shapes and still transmit an exact picture from one end to the other with no distortion. This is truly amazing to the novice who has never seen Fiber Optics before. It goes around 4 corners, can be inverted, can be rotated, and also magnified.

Kit contains:

  • 1 Straight bundle

  • 1 Straight bundle with ball magnifier attached

  • 1 Straight bundle, twisted 180 degrees

  • 1 Bent bundle with 2 right angle bends

  • 1 Bent bundle with 4 right angle bend

#  PL-FIC-1-------$34.00 ea. includes S&H--------------12 for $25.60 each. Plus S&H $7.00 in the USA.
