This is why I gave you a link to the voltage regulator. By turning nobs you can adjust both voltage and current to whatever level you want: This thing can output as much as 10 amps.. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08B63RYD6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The knobs are...

Yeah sorry, I was mixed up with MOSFETs and the LM(Linear regulators). I drew this up for you. I wouldn't worry too much about MOSFETs, I am using a 'microwave door' button switch, which can handle 10 amps. These aren't the exact ones I'm using, but they are all over the place...

I'm pretty amature with electronics. But this device seems to work really well so far. If you are looking for something cheap, flexible and high power it works? One guy did a review on start up current surge on the device, and said it was actually minimal. I haven't noticed any bright...

A MOSFET is often used for current regulation. The voltage regulator I sent you does exactly this, and it can output more than 600 watts which is triple what the laser can handle. Only with the regulator I sent you, you can directly control and adjust both the voltage and current amount. I...

My video of my 100 watt nubm31 laser pistol.

In case anyone is interested, here's a quick video I did on the laser gun build I made.

A quick video I did of my laser pistol. :)

Yeah I have already ordered a pair of 14.8v high amp lipo batteries. (The Panasonic cells were all I had on hand) In about 8 minutes of straight run time, the laser starts to get a bit more boring. However, it's still far stronger than any hand held laser I've worked with even when the...

It does have current regulation. There are 2 dials, one for voltage, and the other for current. I wouldn't have used it otherwise.. I have had power sources hooked up to it that can deliver in the hundreds of amps. Also, after conversion I have been able to hold 84 volts 3.3 amps at peak on...

If the laser dot appears bright through the goggles, they probably aren't working very well, the dot should be very mellow to look at. What color are the goggles? Red usually naturally works well with green lasers, though that's not exactly a guarantee.

Hey. Sorry, that is the AC version. Here is the DC version https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B017FSED9I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey, it's a voltage step up/regulator from Amazon. Handles 600 watts. Careful though, the current control is finicky.. But it does work. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00C498MGY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here's another one I was looking at, but I have never used it...

I'm putting out 250 watts(I have a meter that tells me the exact power usage), which is what the laser is rated to receive. Here are the high amp Samsung 18650s I was referring to. 8 of these cells would put you far over the rated amperage for that laser...

I'm using 8 Panasonic cells, but samsung 18650 has one that can give 40 amps. 40a X 32V = 1280 watts. That's a pretty reasonable amount of power!

I'm taking a look around. I came across some well priced 14.8V lipo batteries( I'll need 2). Are there any cheap chargers for these? Only option I see is a lipo balance universal chargers that are meant for any battery type. Aren't there any mass produced generic chargers for these?

Well the battery setup is around $25 for 3400 MAH 32 volts, and they can output a fairly stable 250 watts. However I'm not very experienced with lipo batteries, do they have higher current?

Somehow I feel like plastic sheets absorbing 100 watts of laser would get pulverized.. :p

I think that AI is going to have the greatest impact on society. I mean, it already is having a massive impact. It's all around us right now. It's starting to grow at an exponential rate. We are finally at the level of computing power where AI really can thrive and improve upon itself.

Thanks @Unown (WILD) the intent of the thread was to inform. We have all seen the safety threads and general rules of lasing, but sometimes it goes beyond that. Knowing how accidents happened in the past can help inform and educate further in lasing safety. One example I can think of is...

Hehe, of course I'm not going to use it as a actual weapon. Though I'm sure it would be intimidating to an intruder if he had never seen anything like it.
