This is a simplified explanation. Depending on the lens you use, a single shoe box may not be long enough and you may have to join two length ways. Also, paints the whole inside of the box matte black to reduce light reflection in the box and therefore sharpen the image.
In the case of having a 60mm lens, how long do you think the shoebox needs to be? Wouldn't the projection be more dimmed considering that the distance of the phone is very far from the lens itself? I'm really interested in making this DIY better. Hoping for a reply, cheers.
For everyone who wants to improve the brightness of your image, try and hang plain white bedsheets on your wall. This will make your image way brighter
TRY THIS BEFORE GIVING UP!! For me, at first everything was a white blob, but then I just cut the back of the shoe box then extended it to give the slider more room to back up by glueing more cardboard. So, just keep adjusting back and forth for the box and for the slider. Overall, just give the slider more space to back up. Hope this works for yall!
The projected image will be more improved, the colors better and overall image sharper and more clear if you paint the inside of the box flat black, or even line the box with some black fabric or velvet. It eliminates the reflected light from the phone screen on the inner surface of the box that bleeds out through the lens and reduces the image quality from stray "light noise".
is is there any process to increase the brightness are there any app to increase the brightness to maximum In Android phone and which lense is suitable 3x or 5x,thanks in advance....
+mupparamshyam Keep in mind also that the film itself effects the brightness - downloaded or torrented/stolen movies are typically of films at a theatre and at the best of times they are darker.... Make sure you test with a CLEAR and "real" movie or maybe youtube videos. There are obvious tweaks, like adding the cabling for power and external speakers as well as the 'video player' you're using on your phone (iPhone or Android) because some can allow to further increase brightness, contrast, etc.
***** Sure! If you can get ahold of some vantablack, you probably don't need to be making projectors out of shoeboxes anyways, or me to give you technical tips on anything, hah! :D
HERES THE COMMENT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR!! Here’s my review, I did this and it worked. It’s a little blurry and a little difficult to set up to focus it, but other than that I love this!! I give it a 7/10 overall ✨
@@taylorarruda8263your phone should be somehow far away from the lens. It mostly just shows light not what you want projected . For me I just started putting my phone further and further away from the lens until the point it started projecting.if you can see it's projecting but it's coming out abit blurry then just move the lens and the phone back until it is clear, I did this and it worked you should try it.
Some of you guys have tried but it didn't work. Why? Because it based on your magnifying glass thickness. You will need a very thin magnifying glass to make a projector. So, the image distance would be longer than the distance between your smartphone and magnifying glass. I have tried using different lenses. So, good luck
It's important to find out what the focal length of your lens before you buy it. Try projecting an image of the lights in the store on to the floor. The distance between the lens and the floor when the image of the bulb becomes sharp is what's important. You need at least a 5X magnifier for things to work out with a shoe box that had less than like size 18 shoes in it.
You need a magnifying glass, a foam board, hot glue gun, masking tape, ruler, a cutter, smartphone and a shoebox Me- aw cool it's not that many thi- Video- now take a hacksaw Me- oh
Wow this really saved my life! My mom is always mad about my screen time over usage so I asked her for a projector but… “I’m not wasting my money on that!” And I found this video and this idea really helped so tysm! 😇
Thanks this helped a lot! My friends and I needed a projector for our camp. We where about to by a very expensive projector online but we found this and it worked! Thank you
What pocket projector is the best? I am considering to get one but not sure which brand and model to choose or what features should I be looking for in a projector since I have never used one I need your suggestion
@@chefdoeuvre5449 depends on how much you want to spend if you want to keep it under 100 get the videochars projector although crenova has some decent models for 120 dollars make sure it’s at native 1080p not 1080p supported which is likely 720p
This is an interesting way to make a projector for your smart phone. He uses two way tape to hold the phone. I would use double sided Velcro (male and female), so that the phone can be removed and put back many times over without making a mess. On the mount for the phone, I would calibrate some positions and make guides so the phone can be put exactly back each time. It may also be a good idea to buy a universal phone bracket and find a way to mount it inside of the box.
Jerry G. these days cellphone covers (hard case or rubber) comes so cheap, so attach that cover on stand with 2way tape and then remove-attach mobile as many time you want
Let's also not to forget to use a pom, abs, wood or maybe even an iron black box instead of a carton shoebox, let's also make a casing to implement three lenses that are vacuum sealed and divided by a silicone solution for perfect clarity and sharpness. this is a simple diy (for funzies) project.. if you want a serious projector, buy a serious projector lol.
If you buy a cheap magnifying glass (from a discount store or pound shop), you can usually unscrew the handle and remove the lens without having to cut the handle off (check the place where the frame joins the handle to see if there is an unscrew-able part). If there are any rough edges (although there usually aren't) you can cover the edge with clear tape, or file them down if you can. Then measure the hole to fit the lens without the frame. Should work out much cheaper than buying a hacksaw if you don't have one already.
I bought everything, I did every step precisely as the video... I even painted the inside of the box black... But it's not working... Please help what am I doing wrong???
Just knowing what I do about physics, even if you manage to get the projection in focus, it would be so dark projected across a normal sized room that it would be pointless.
@@kaylynntarby6567 it does. i did it when i was like 10 but even with a super dark room the projection is still a bit hard to see so idk. i’m trying it to see again cause why not

@@debbiealcimasrules9418 I used a ×2 and kept adjusting it till I got a good size pic. So it did work but the texture on my wall made the picture look funny. I just needed a flat surface and it worked well. Thank you for asking
Review after I tried this>>> it was really easy to make and I didn’t use a hacksaw to cut off the handle I just made a small semi circle cut in the lid to accommodate it ! How it worked: I tried it once with a Netflix show and it was pretty blurry and disappointing but I looked at some other comments and it really works much better with animated shows/movies which is pretty much the only thing I’d recommend using it for but it’s great for animated stuff!!! Also to increase the brightness on your phone even more go to settings>General>accessibility>display accommodations> and slide the white point feature to increase your brightness even more :)
I remember building one. Only that I don't have a smart phone back then (yet). I used it as picture projector instead, so I put bright lights inside the box as my light source. Oh and just for the point of accuracy with tools you used, i believe, the saw you used is called a coping saw as oppose to the one you mentioned, hacksaw (metal-cutting saw). All-in-all, worth giving a try! Good for family week home project that everyone can enjoy!
Ok, this is an old video….but I have run around all day looking for a projector to put a pic from my phone onto a canvas to trace. Ones that make a pic to fit a smaller canvas are $300 and up. You just saved me some $$$, this definitely works good enough to trace a picture! Thanks!

Thanks mate. I love making homemade stuff. I already made a self-made stylus, the projector, a cool kind of spinner. Can you please make some more videos of cool self-made stuff
then you do whatever it says in the vid but you will need a big magnifying glass because I used a small one and it didn't work well and it shouldn't be too big or then you have to get a bigger box plus you will need a speaker
Thanks a lot .I tried it and it worked .For the first time I thought that wouldn't work but I didn't give up and after some trying I made It .Thanksssssssssss a lot
I did exactly what was in the tutorial, but the image won’t seem to focus. I thought it may need to be further away so I did it again and attached the two boxes but it won’t work. What might have I done wrong?
I assume the direction of the magnifying glass matters. I haven't used a magnifying glass in a long time but if I remember right, one side shrinks and the other enlarges. Which direction should it face? Very cool idea. Can't wait to try it with my Bluetooth speaker for some fun with my daughter. 👍👍👍
This is probably a question you get all the time, but what is the maximum the image can be enlarged to on a wall? Also what would be the set distance to create that size? Amazing video dude, great editing.
I was refreshing my memories this was the second video I watched on this channel after radio transmitter ....I finally made it after years I watched this video but projected image is not that clear because I need to phone away from lens more but it is the end of the box .... next video make a projector at home I know you can...
Kincses Richárd Ohh wait. I misunderstood. No don't use white cloth or foil. I thought you were talking about the wall where you're projecting it. You should paint the walls of the box black.
Kincses Richárd It is a bit hard to explain. Those lights are just stray lights. They won't reflect an image but rather it would just give a dim background light that would ruin the details given of by the projection.
Ok great video, but he never mentions needing, a hacksaw, Elmer's glue, exacto knife/compass, or double sided tape. And we never used the masking tape at all. Not that one couldn't improvise these items but lets make proper descriptions for our videos guy. Thanks
Thanks, it works! Focusing is the hardest part😄 My version isn't this intricate though (in case it failed). I put a small hole in the lid for the magnifying glass handle instead of cutting it off.
+Maddi S well just look at how blurry the picture quality he shows is, and how dim it is. you'd be better off with a cable that connects your phone to the tv, or buying a real projector but a good clear image will cost at least $500
This is quite interesting. The image was too faint so I decided to simply look directly through the lens at my phone. Of course its magnified and a lot brighter but it's also in 3D. This came as a surprise. Your left and right eye see two different images which when combined yield a stereoscopic effect. Wow why didn't I think of this before. Nb I used a 5x magnification biconvex lens with a focal length of ~ 240 mm.
Mine isn't working 😭tell me what I did wrong? I used a shoebox and created hole for magnifying glass and inserted my phone in and it's coming very blur
According to one source, it's because your magnifying glass lens is too thick. Use a less powerful lens because you want to project further away. With a thicker mag lens you have to get too close to the wall for it to be clear. Hope this helps you.
I've already seen a similar video like this before, but this looks more better and simpler + there are comments here that really helps and contributes to improve the quality etc...
UA-camr: This is what you need -shows items- Video starts UA-camr uses pencil, glue ect Me: 🙄🙄 you didn’t say I needed this smh now I have to be getting up every damn time
Tbh the last time I had a magnifying glass I used it to burn things when I was like 5 and we I burned the curtain and almost burned the house down it was taken away and I have never seen one since then(the curtain was taken outside and no one was harmed😌
Had an idea to make this for my friends birthday so we could watch a movie while social distancing. I went out and bought a magnifying glass which took ages to find. However after spending approximately an hour making it i sadly found out it does not work at all . I decided to try and add another shoe box to lengthen it like a comment suggested it did not work. Would not recommend.
This is a simplified explanation. Depending on the lens you use, a single shoe box may not be long enough and you may have to join two length ways. Also, paints the whole inside of the box matte black to reduce light reflection in the box and therefore sharpen the image.

"Today we are building a clock!" One day later "Shit."
more like "Today we are buying a clock from walmart, putting the innards into a small case"
I did exactly what was in the tutorial, but the image won’t seem to focus. I thought it may need to be further away so I did it again and attached the two boxes but it won’t work. What might have I done wrong?
Hi friends
I assume the direction of the magnifying glass matters. I haven't used a magnifying glass in a long time but if I remember right, one side shrinks and the other enlarges. Which direction should it face?
Very cool idea. Can't wait to try it with my Bluetooth speaker for some fun with my daughter. 👍👍👍
Well if you think properly, you want to "project" so I advice you to use the magnifying side, which isn't hard to figure out. 😐
I think he used magnifying glass that has the same sides.
Art Spot Airbrush both sides enlarges dude
I’m Here Because Quarantine Officially Starts Tomorrow 😂 well in a 2 hrs
And it's still continues.
Remember when we thought quarantine was going to last for 2 weeks🤣
@@probablykayla6695 fond memories
I made this in 2012 when I was a small boy 👦
4 years is not as much to make you a big boy
how old are you, 12?
20
did it work for you?
Ur the 10 year old kid with a Minecraft profile pic
This is probably a question you get all the time, but what is the maximum the image can be enlarged to on a wall? Also what would be the set distance to create that size? Amazing video dude, great editing.
Depends on size of magnifying glass and the magnification power it had probably. So just experiment and figure it out.

I was refreshing my memories this was the second video I watched on this channel after radio transmitter ....I finally made it after years I watched this video but projected image is not that clear because I need to phone away from lens more but it is the end of the box ....
next video make a projector at home I know you can...
You'll need to extend your box to make it longer, cuz of the larger display.
Doing a movie dinner date with my bf and projectors are so expensive!! This is perfect thank you!!
Can you boost the brightness of the image if you fill the walls of the box with tin foil ?
Kincses Richárd Good question. No. Get the whitest and matte looking cloth you can find.
TechBuilder Paint the box white?
Kincses Richárd Ohh wait. I misunderstood. No don't use white cloth or foil. I thought you were talking about the wall where you're projecting it. You should paint the walls of the box black.
TechBuilder Why? Black color does not reflect light.
Kincses Richárd It is a bit hard to explain. Those lights are just stray lights. They won't reflect an image but rather it would just give a dim background light that would ruin the details given of by the projection.
Mines didnt work ..i got a magnifying glasses from dollar tree 🤷🏾♂️
I just picked mine up from dollartree 1🥲

The idea is nice. Could make for a good science project js

Exactly why I'm here haha. Bomb ass science teacher, teaching us optics.
“Oh no there’s a protrusion.”
And that's magnifying glass's purpose fulfilled!
Ok great video, but he never mentions needing, a hacksaw, Elmer's glue, exacto knife/compass, or double sided tape. And we never used the masking tape at all. Not that one couldn't improvise these items but lets make proper descriptions for our videos guy. Thanks
I tried making it and it worked! this is so amazing! thanks!
post the vid. pls
Does it throw enough light to show on the surface of the walls in the dark?
Does it look good tho??? That's what matters
Thank you so much this definitely helps me with my science project👍
Did it?
what size magnifying
glass did you use?
Thanks, it works! Focusing is the hardest part😄 My version isn't this intricate though (in case it failed). I put a small hole in the lid for the magnifying glass handle instead of cutting it off.
He forgets to mention that it NEVER focuses
Its_aiyana_boi Lol yeah right!
You forgot to install the autofocus
he literally says move the phone back and forth, until you find the position you like smh
I have done that it doesn't focus
im having the same problem
I'm worried that if I go and buy a magnify glass, that it will end up being backwards or upside down
And I've heard a lot of people say that the image is blurry! Is there anything I can do to make sure none of theses happen?!
+Maddi S well just look at how blurry the picture quality he shows is, and how dim it is. you'd be better off with a cable that connects your phone to the tv, or buying a real projector but a good clear image will cost at least $500
The image looks bad, i started with this lol and now i have a real home theatre 1080p epson projector and 7.2 surround sound
#PoorAf
The smartphone projector is not working with magnifying glass.I don't know why it is not working.
It is not working becaise magnifying glass is a convex lens which does nit diverge the image
Glad to see this video has lots of views, I found this years ago and painted murals in my apt. This is awsome
It didnt work maybe my magnifying glass was too small...

It is so satisfying to know that some kids are still doing these kind of hobbies even thought it's still involving smartphones.
Wow 7 years ago that kind of scared me it’s crazy how time flys
Imagine if future phones have projector modes? so basically you camera can be use as a projector.
We want like that
Sadly 11 months later it has not happend
This is quite interesting. The image was too faint so I decided to simply look directly through the lens at my phone. Of course its magnified and a lot brighter but it's also in 3D. This came as a surprise. Your left and right eye see two different images which when combined yield a stereoscopic effect. Wow why didn't I think of this before. Nb I used a 5x magnification biconvex lens with a focal length of ~ 240 mm.
Cool. I'll just have to learn how to read movie subtitles in reverse now. lol
You can change it on your settings
Sophie Laker how?
Sir Yoshi Quan look it up ! 😂
@@sophielaker3167 I did, that's why I'm asking. There's no setting for iPhone to horizontally flip your phone screen.
Yeah that's the problem
Mine isn't working 😭tell me what I did wrong? I used a shoebox and created hole for magnifying glass and inserted my phone in and it's coming very blur
Help me😢
You should adjust the distance between your phone and magnifying glass
According to one source, it's because your magnifying glass lens is too thick. Use a less powerful lens because you want to project further away. With a thicker mag lens you have to get too close to the wall for it to be clear. Hope this helps you.
Try to clean the lense
Put 100% brightness and turn the lights off of the room and colour the shoebox black for inside and a better lens.This may help
Will need
Magnify glass
Foam board
Mount tape
Cutter
Smartphone
Hot glue gun
Ruler
Shoebox
and a hack saw
What the size of the magnifying glass is?
I've already seen a similar video like this before, but this looks more better and simpler + there are comments here that really helps and contributes to improve the quality etc...
you can actually do this without damaging the magnifying glass!
+Ali Barakat You can fix the phone and move the lens using the handle of magnifying glass , that's a better design !
you can also get large lens like that at dollar store so/ shrug hehe
I know or you could use a magnifying glass sheet
i need a magnefine glass NOW
lol same

You need a proper education NOW!
+Fenriz Gaahl It's irrelevant to the video, but not the comment. He's talking about the comment.
my phone doesn't lock so idk what to do... suggestions?
screen rotation is off as well
Lameashellcosplay I dunno bro some phones are like that. :/
thanks guys ^

or download an app
my phone didn't do that but I got this app that locks my screen really well :)
Thank you guy! This is awesome! I’m fixin to make one for my youngest fella.

This will be perfect for my classic hollywood themed trunk for this year’s trunk or treat!
I just tried this after playing with it i found a good spot for focus but the view is upside down
The image will be inverted after passing through the magnifying glass ,so make sure its using down in your phone :)
Turn your phone upside down
Tbh the last time I had a magnifying glass I used it to burn things when I was like 5 and we I burned the curtain and almost burned the house down it was taken away and I have never seen one since then(the curtain was taken outside and no one was harmed😌
In order to boost the brightness, simply hold two more lenses in front of each eye. :P
lmao
+sudeepan chatterjee Isaac Newton did something similar, telescope
Had an idea to make this for my friends birthday so we could watch a movie while social distancing. I went out and bought a magnifying glass which took ages to find. However after spending approximately an hour making it i sadly found out it does not work at all . I decided to try and add another shoe box to lengthen it like a comment suggested it did not work. Would not recommend.
