That’s the best idea I have seen so far for making these diodes into a portable format .I bow down and thank you for the inspiration! I see a trip to harbor freight in my immediate future !
I got this on Amazon for 35$ .Just wire a wall transformer to it being mindful of polarity and required current and voltage.I use one of these supplied from a 50 v 3amp power supply that I pulled from the trash to test and run all my diodes with no issue. You just have to supply slightly over...
I remember seeing a hand canon 100 w pointer a member here made .Not the Styro one .anyway it looked in the pictures like they used this driver and it worked for them. Trinh houng I believe is the name.
I will find it . Let me know where I should send it. Also I switched out said capacitor with a new one but when using it I have no adjustment on the pot it just runs full throttle .The capacitor is the only component I tampered with .Also this was after it had already malfunctioned and popped my...
I used the same driver and it burnt a capacitor and my diode within minutes! I would not recommend this driver.I now stick to my home built driver a uleego constant current constant voltage variable supply hooked up to a 12 to 48 v dc-dc boost which is fed by a 12 v dc wall transformer or 12 v...
Thank you for the info .The style is inspired by the sci fi and fantasy that has always fascinated me.Mostly I like to create things that make my reality a little more fantastic.Other than that most of my builds are hosts that I have found through trial and error to have drivers that work well...
Everything you need to know has already been answered on this site.I would suggest that if you haven’t taken the the time to read and understand 1st that you are not ready for a 1w laser of any wavelength. Good luck .
Thanks . I like it for its novelty.That being said it does seem a bit more involved than I want to get for not much bang.I just saw a video in another thread about a tea nitrogen laser / dye laser that looks like it might be more fun to try and make.I could probably get everything I need to make...
