Humidity has a great effect on how visible the beam of the laser will appear. During the daytime the beams may not be as visible due to the fact that the spectrum of light that is being produced by the sun is drowning out your particular laser...well the beam at least. At night I am at a loss...

Ok I just got my 445nm 1w laser built and running and burning. I have no way to measure my power output right now. I am already looking to start on two more handhelds with different wavelengths. I would like to make a green and a red for sure. The only thing is that I am pretty sure I know what...

Well that was putting the trakcing number into the USPS website. Hopefully it is here sooner rather than later because I am itchin to get this laser built. I want to take my T-Rex 450 SE and put on reflective blades and bolt the heli down and spin the rotor up to speed and use the collective to...

I keep tracking my stuff and all it says is origin post is preparing shipment. I have two orders that were placed the same day and right now I am heading into the third week of waiting for my parts for my laser build. I still need my driver which should be in today, but that is coming from...

Stuff toseek out.... for food in Weehauken there is a small Italian restaraunt called G.P's...It is amazing. If you go I will be jealous because I havent been there in years since I moved to Texas. Another place for food more like lunch could be Rutts Hut. They have one of the best hot dogs in...

Its all good guys it was late when i posted that and was overtired and cranky heh but at least things are clarified... the tissue helped out big time lasersbee, thank you ;) my parts should be in tomorrow, so hopefully i can get the build started with pics and maybe make modifications to stuff...

why do you say that? you make it sound like i have missed something else. haha maybe the ADULT experience you were having that night lol...that concert to me was a life changing event for me and i have never seen anything else like it yet. I just wish I actually got into lasers in depth while i...

I wasnt saying that THIS thread was old, I was saying that nobody that has posted in this thread that i created saying something like "omg we went over this with noob X 2 months ago and here is another guy asking the same thing." That is what I meant by old thread. Maybe it is common sense to...

Hehehe I have that one covered already but I dont think you can see the beam for the 10600nm and it cost a lot of money + it is meant to cut sheetmetal...fun to play with but I NEED MORE!! :evil: lol All of these posts are great and valid posts. Just trying to get started with a build someone...

Pretty slick build man. I couldnt hear what you said that green insulator was under the spring but thats a fantastic idea. I like the way you mounted the driver. Also the machine work to your heatsink looks pretty clean. IMO :gj:

:crackup: I was too young for anything like that, and got the warning from my mom as we were walking in as a family "If somebody hands you a brownie DO NOT EAT IT...just give it to someone else" to which we all replied "why?" It took a few years of growing up to understand why. To this day I...

I was 6 when I saw Pink Floyd live for their Pulse tour in 1993 at Giants Stadium....instant hooked!!! I'm 24 now and never had enough money or motivation til recently to actually get down and dirty with spending money and building. Still a noob though. I'll admit it :bowdown:

I think that might go back to what Lasersbee first said in his first response to my original post. I would quote him but I'm not the greatest with multiple quotes haha :thinking:

My 3500w CO2 Mitsubishi Laser has a duty cycle of 100% because of a chiller tower. Without the tower you would have I would be willing to bet a zero duty cycle because of how powerful it is. I isnt just about keeping the laser cool in the 3500w laser too you have the bend mirrors as well as the...

So it is more of a heat issue rather than an electrical issue. The duty cycle is simply referring to how long it takes it to get hot then cool off to turn it on again. I am used to 3 phase motors where it has a duty cycle referring to the run time for peak power until it drops rating...but on...
