Re: The MagicStick V 2- Anodized Black PICS Yeah, I've been wondering what happened to the V1 too. Am I still on the list? Shep

Re: FS: Aurora C6 445 M-140 Build, 1.62A, $115 Bump. This is still available.

I'm selling that laser for $115 because I'd like it to go quickly as I need money for a television repair. I built it for about 90 total using an M-140 diode and a mohrenberg just-add-diode kit. Shep

This is one hell of a shock story: deadcoil comments on 15 minutes ago I almost died. I was ratcheting a 3500 lbs boat onto a trailer and the hook point broke. It missed my head by less than an inch. What near death experiences have you had Redditors? As for me, I stuck some speaker wire in a...

Re: FS: Aurora C6 445 M-140 Build, 1.62A, $115 Thanks, pictures have been added.

For sale is a 445 in an Aurora C6 host (originally a just-add-diode kit from Moh with 1.62A mohgasm linear driver). It uses an M-140 diode from DTR's shop and a 3-element glass lens. Comes with 2x AW IMR 16340s for the high current draw. It does not come with glasses. It has not been LPM'd, but...

Re: FS: Aurora C6 12x Build, 428mA, LOWERED: $75 This is now SOLD

After some experimenting I believe you're right about nonlinearity. I couldn't come up with any combination to create a nice smooth transition. I may end up just using a switch to toggle between 5 and 12v... or get a 100Ω pot like mentioned :) Thanks for your help, Shep

I have a potentiometer that goes from about 0-50 k ohm, and I'd like to reduce it's range to ~0-100 ohm. Is there any way to do this with added resistors? I've tried combinations of series and parallel but I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe one of the electronics gurus here could help? :)...

Re: FS: Aurora C6 12x Build, 428mA, LOWERED: $75 BUMP... $75 now.

Yes, I guess it has a much lower total energy output overall because of the shorter time but that doesn't matter in the context of its use. The single huge pulse is probably enough to start a nuclear fission reaction, so as long as you get that reaction started, the time doesn't matter.

For sale for a low price of just $6 million... just kidding :) OSU Powers Up a 500 Trillion Watt Laser This thing outputs a pulse for 30 million-billionths of a second at this power, using as much energy as the entire northeastern U.S. power grid. Insane.

Re: FS: Aurora C6 12x Build, 428mA, $90 Anyone near New England in the US that'd be willing to LPM this for me? I can pay for shipping both ways.

Re: FS: Aurora C6 12x Build, 428mA, $90 Bumpity bump

Re: FS: Aurora C6 12x Build, 428mA, $100 Bump. I'd be willing to let this go for $90 if someone bought it soon.
