I don't think omega is 100% nuts, because I just tried it and got a weird taste. But, why would you shine a laser between your EYES. Tell me you were wearing safety goggles?

Lol, the Macbook air... I remember walking into the mac store (it was painful) and seeing a sign that said "Thinovation", obviously advertising the Macbook air. Innovation? What innovation? 1 usb port? That's like talking a step back in technology. And apparently it can be crushed under the...

Well, actually, the laser does still work. I was surprised to see it come back on, and have a good amount of burning power still. I'm not sure if it was weakened, but it definitely works. From what I can tell, it still has the same amount of power. I will eventually try the Dorcy hack, but...

Before I plug the batteries back in, how do I know the Diode has the proper polarity?

Ok, I'm not worried about replacing a diode. As for the clicking noise, it starts within a few seconds of turning it on. UPDATE: Well, that didn't take too long. The diode JUST died. Got damn it.. Well, I don't know if it died, but it smoke came out of the diode and I turned it off. Is it...

Ok, thanks. I got really scared for a bit :o. But, I figured since it was made by someone on this forum, it had to be good, lol.

I purchased it from HighTechDealz. Hmm.. But, if it's in an Aixiz module, doesn't it have a driver in there? I could have sworn it did. Well, to avoid any damage I won't use it. But are you sure there isn't any driver in the Aixiz modules?

Ok, so I've recently purchased a very nice 200mw Maglite laser. It works fine, nice focusable laser, etc etc.. However I've recently noticed that every now and then when I turn it on, I hear a little click. The light coming from the laser doesn't change, nothing obvious happens, and this has...

Ok, wow. Thanks. So, to avoid over heating, what would be the best duty cycle for a 200mW Maglite laser? I got it from the HighTechLazers site. I read on the WL site that you should usually keep it on for 100 seconds and off for 10, would that be right? And thanks again for all the help.

Hi I am new to the forums and a little new to laser pointers. I've had my fair share of cheap $1 laser pointers and recently discovered these high end lasers. I currently don't have a laser, although my 200mW red laser should be here about Wednesday. I've been reading around on this forum mainly...

I voted PC, because the Mac is good for nothing. Not even art as Adobe has proven that PC runs Adobe programs faster. The only reason for a Mac is to browse the net safely. And nothing else. PC's are faster, more reliable, and can do more things, and have more compatible programs.

Or, you could get a laser to project dark matter across a room.

Re: FS: Dorcy Jr 650nm <200mW Burning Laser - $59. OMG. I just joined the forum to ask for help building that mini-mag laser. Wow, this site is helpful.  :)
