Star Trek: The Original Series, TOS Bridge working Moiré Sweep Scanner Prop.
replica movie prop
This re-production of the Science Station Moiré from the Bridge of the old show USS Enterprise (Kirk’s Enterprise).
I used the same exact Moiré pattern source that was used on the original bridge prop.
This unit is Semi screen accurate. Semi accurate you say? Well the differences are of a positive nature. Semi-accurate in the fact that we used modern technology lighting that won’t heat up as much or draw as much current as the original bridge prop did. The Original Bridge prop used eight 25-watt incandescent light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs burn out so rapidly and need constant replacement (particularly in a confined space as inside a box). Incandescent bulbs also melted the white plastic defusers that were used behind the glass plates on the Original Bridge props.
Semi-accurate in the fact that we used clear Plexiglas for the display screen instead of Real glass as with the original prop. Plexi is less likely to shatter.
I used the same speed motor for the rotation of the Moiré pattern.
There are two switches on the back panel. One turns on the power (lighting) the second turns on the motor.
Both must be on to make the pattern move.
