    If you had unlimited money, and time, what would you build?

    most acceleration to get up to .99c would take 14 days at .9c acceleration you have to be aware of that. if you could put some one in acceleration couch or liquid suspension you could get that c up to .25c of light. and cut that time down. That being said you also need to be able to decelerate...

    If you had unlimited money, and time, what would you build?

    If I had unlimited funds for laser research. I would try to find a way to use lasers in a propulsion unit to drive space craft. Ultimately i would like us to try to get towards .99 c of light. It would only take 18 years to get to the nearest star. I also would like to build a laser system that...

    5W 450nm - No brand Chinese laser from ebay - $57

    that laser is no way 5 watts. If metered I am positive its around a watt or two. They are ok for a starter laser please wear the glasses when using. While they may be cheap they will at lease save your eyes. Please use caution when shining that laser around the house. It takes just a stray beam...

    Arduino

    the arduino by it self yes is to slow but they do make video processing shields for arduino but the main focus of the arduino is to be able to shift between the camera and mic set ups. But I ream am wondering if a raspberry pi would be a better fit for this project thanks for the reply Benm

    Oculus Rift/HTC Vive / VR in general?

    Amd for the most part is about affordability versus Intels speed. The one thing that Amd has over Intel is that their processors tend to be smaller. The amd Gforce cards paired with a multi core processor/gpu makes up for the lack of speed that Intel has. I am running a 8 core processor with a 4...

    Re: 100Watt 10,000 Lumen LED 'DayMaker' Flashlight Build jay a bit of feed back and I am not a expert like you but could you push the led harder if you used teks or pelter coolers to try and get some of that heat down. I know about these leds as they are used in shop lights a lot and they put...
