Not to disparage your achievement, which is awesome, but what is this thing supposed to do again? Fictionally?

It was used as an engineering, it was usually used to trouble shoot, scan and couple energy connections.

The prop makes its debut in "Metamorphosis", I think. The shuttle has crashlanded on a planetoid, and Spock suddenly has this "ray generator" prop for working on the shuttle. Perhaps he built it. In any event the prop's main function appears to be, to fly up on wires out of Nimoy's hand so that it can appear to explode. :lol
