I have been searching for any info on how the Enterprise Medical props work, or how the builders made them. Specifically Phlox's Hypospray and the small Medical scanner with the blue LEDs. I have studied various episodes of scenes with the hypo in use. It seems that there is a mechanism that forces a small section of acrylic rod that is colored back up into the chamber of the hypo when the side button is pressed. You can see it in the "Cogenitor" episode season 2 or you can see Phlox loading the hypo in the "Shockwave part II " episode. The small Medical scanner with Blue LEDs seems to have a buzzing sound with the Blue lights. My thought is that it could possibly be one of those small hair trimmer's the size of a pen that was canabilized ane the small motor installed ???
Any one who has any ideas or may have come across someone that imparted some info on how these props worked , I need your help, I would like to make a set of these very cool medical props for myself and hopefully will encourage others to do the same.
Hopefully this thread may catch the eye of one of the people who purchased these items at the auctions and can shead some light on these props.
Thanks, Rich
