Here's how you can build a Blu-Ray player with some stuff you can probably find around the house. Making your own high definition DVD player for your home theater is always a fun project for a rainy day.
Here's what you'll need:
1 Record Player
1 Laser Pointer
3 shards of glass
A VCR
Some crazy glue
A roll of dental floss
1) Crack open the VCR and remove any parts that look unnecessary. A hammer works best.
2) Remove the needle from the record player and replace it with the laser pointer using the crazy glue.
3) Glue the three shards of glass together and then attach them to the laser pointer lens.
4)Here's where the magic happens. Glue the ends of three pieces of dental floss to the glass. Then glue the other ends to the video outputs of the VCR. Dental floss is actually a great carrier of high definition video signals.
5) Glue the record player to the top of the VCR and your Blu Ray player is complete! Just plug it in and hook it up to the TV.
Optional: Tape down the button on the laser pointer or you'll have to hold it while watching movies.
Add this to your paper plate speaker system and you'll be watching movies like you never have before.
