I would have put a couple random pictures in front of them, maybe ones of your balcony with nothing going on up there. Like they do in the spy movies :> Just to see how long it would take for your neighbor to take them down. Maybe make some bets with friends.

Windows 7 64bit, looked several times, even took the box apart basically to make sure it didn't slip into a fold or something. I sent a message off asking about it. :)

Still need the software before I can even think of hooking it up :( Thanks tho

Got the new laser power meter today :D There was a note in the box stating to read the instructions... but no instructions nor disk? Where do I get the software and instructions? Thanks :)

depends on the plan I guess, and how good you are for adapting some of the older tech to the new designs. That is like looking at "how to build your own laser phaser and ion ray gun...

I remember the Information Unlimited catalogs that I would get in the late 80's Used to look at them and imagine what I could do with all the cool stuff they used to have in them :> I built an "ion ray gun" from them :D It charged a person up from a distance so whenever they touched...

It isn't the laser head itself that really costs a whole lot, most of the cost is in the support equipment such as a vacuum pump. Other things that can add to the cost are the optics, depending how DIY you want to get. Tools will include things like a butane torch, drill press, files and...

This is my first serious attempt at firing my DIY gas laser. I decided to make a new thread for this portion of the journey :D If you want to take a look at the build notes/pictures, I posted it on a website here http://home.gci.net/~thundersqueak/CO2_Laser.html The setup is a Yellow Jacket...

This had me wondering if he was being paid by WL to do this, almost like an advertisement. But then, most of his videos sort of make me go "why?". :thinking:

got a picture of the tube? going to convert it to a flowing gas type? You will need to re-align the mirrors as the change in pressure can cause them to move. With a proper vacuum you should have a pink glow... if it is purple it means you have a leak in the system that will need to be...

Looks better than my first "build", which I still use to align mirrors and such :> Assembled it into a dice box :o, good thing it was only a 5mw red and did not require heat sinking. I would have loved to have had a visible beam like yours :( Maybe next time :eg:

Yep, I live in Anchorage :) It is dark right now, mostly dark anyway and only 12:36 am :> Granted, that will change soon.... and it will only be "dusk" for that few hours before returning to noon day sun again ... isn't Alaska Great :D
