5000 X ZOOMING POWER TELESCOPE



This telescope will zoom any object by 5000 times.
This telescope ( 5000 X) is not suitable for watching birds in the sky. Because it has 5000 X very high zooming power (5000 magnifying power) .This telescope is better in discovering or watching planets , moon , and stars etc. To build this telescope , you should get bellow things. And those are very cheap and can easily find in hardware stores and you can buy lenses from the shops that makes optical stuff . ( where making sun glasses or eye glasses.) .This telescope uses 4 lenses .

Benefits of 5000 X

1 5000 X very high zoom
2 Low cost
3 Can zoom clearly beyond 100000000000000.0 kilometers
4 Easy to make
5 High durability
6 High performance
7 Suitable for bigger projects
8 Wide area zooming
9 Can view low brighten objects
10 No lens failures

You should get these things

1 . P.V.C (Poly vinyl chloride) tube or plastic tube – ( Tube 1 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 15 cm
Length – 110 cm

2 . P.V.C (Poly vinyl chloride) tube or plastic tube – ( Tube 2 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 2 cm
Length – 30 cm

3 . Lens - ( Lens 1 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 15 cm
Focus – 120 cm

4 . Lens - ( Lens 2 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 2 cm
Focus – 0.42 cm (4.2mm)

5 . Lens – (Lens 3 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 2 cm
Focus – 0.7 cm (7 mm)

6 . Lens – (Lens 4 )
dimensions :–
Diameter – 2 cm
Focus – 0.6 cm (6 mm)

7 . P.V.C glue or any other glue ( for fixing plastic tube or p.v.c tube )

8 . P.V.C or plastic sheet ( Sheet 1 )
dimensions :–
Width – 10 cm
Length – 10 cm

9 . Packing (Polystyrene that formed for packaging or you can use some thing like that )



Lets work

First of all you have to fix your tube’s lens rack . Take “Sheet 1” and cut it and get 1cm x 3cm 16 pieces as shown as bellow









Then bend those 16 clip pieces like bellow











Then fix it to “Tube 1“ using p.v.c glue or any other glue as bellow
















Side view













Front view


Then take other 8 bended clips . And fix it to end of the Tube 1 as shown as bellow
And put the packing (Polystyrene that formed for packaging or you can use some thing like that )between the clips . And the diameter of the hole of packing is 2cm , and diameter of the packing is 10 cm. Thickness is about 5 cm.















Take “Tube 2” and fix the “lens 2”, “lens 3” and “lens 4” with P.V.C or plastic sockets as shown as bellow
(This will be created your eye piece)












lens distance - 3.6 -8.6 - 4.2




Then put the “tube 2” to the hole of the packing ( as shown as bellow). Adjust the eye piece until get a clear image . SO , You build a 5000 X zooming power telescope .
