    Bronx Guy Lasering Airport Flights...crap

    Re: Brooklyn Guy Lasering Airport Flights...crap But how will you be able to tell if you hit the cockpit or not if you use IR? :thinking: :scared::lasergun:

    Bronx Guy Lasering Airport Flights...crap

    Re: Brooklyn Guy Lasering Airport Flights...crap Right, but, along the same lines, any machinist worth his salt could make a rifle or pistol, etc. They can ban anything they want to typically, as long as the group that doesn't want it banned is a minority. If its not THEIR hobby, its just...

    Polariton Laser (Well, r = P?)

    Yeah, its heady stuff. They mention that, technically, its not a laser...but, as the acronym has evolved into a word, its used in the sense of the word. A new acronym would be more appropriate of course. I think of the polariton as sort of a photon with a hole that wants an electron attached...

    Jokes thread!

    I don't think I've ever taken one, with or without a stick, but I think the reason people do them, is they want a pic of themselves to post, but, don't seem to have any friends WITH them to take it, so, they take it of themselves. Some appear to be simply a souvenir shot, they are somewhere and...

    Polariton Laser (Well, r = P?)

    This is a correction to that one actually (It says CORRECTION in the link too) The initial post apparently didn't explain the efficiency the way the author intended. :D

    Polariton Laser (Well, r = P?)

    These use ~ 1/250 of the power of the most efficient current lasers, use electrical current INSTEAD OF LIGHT, but work at room temperature too. Polariton lasers don't stimulate radiation emission. They stimulate scattering of polaritons. A new way to make laser-like beams using 250x less...

    Popping Balloons for a School Experiment. Which Laser is Best?

    I would like to point out that the color of the beam and the color of the balloon are related, in that if you pick one color for one, it can dictate your choice for the other. Generally, the safest balloon color is black, as it absorbs the most regardless of the laser color, etc...and, it...

    Well, here we go. Newcomer from the US

    In case it slipped by in the great deluge of info, you should get some laser safety glasses, so that you don't accidentally ricochet a laser beam into your eye off something shiny, etc. The laser protection is by WAVELENGTH, so, you end up needing more than one pair, to cover the lasers you...

    What lights do you have?

    LOL I have a LOT of lights. :D

    Lasers on the news

    A few thoughts: 1) The odds of an alien craft making it through the intergalactic space, but being disabled by a laser pointer is probably small enough to not consider. 2) The odds of said craft reporting the laser shot to our authorities is also significantly unlikely. 3) The odds of you...

    Starting UV and IR Photography; Equipment Search and More!

    Some cameras will record UV images for example. I found this accidentally when doing some forensic investigations, and noticed some could use UV alone as a light source...and others were UV Blind, etc. If looking at cameras, bring a UV light, and, point the camera at things with the UV light...

    ISIS the terror machine

    You can't assume that just because they embrace their religion as the literal word of god, and are raised to defend it to the death, that they are any stupider than any other religious sect with the same beliefs. Smart people can be indoctrinated that ONLY THEIR RELIGION is the correct...

    Blah Blah!

    Re: Help vortish! WINNERS POSTED! LOL I too received my Alaskan Laser, and, its got a cool diffraction accessory on it that makes patterns, and, its my only laser that does that. I really like it, and, want to say a hearty THANKS!!!! :beer::beer::beer::beer:

    Regarding using lasers to cut wires in games.(specifically IR)

    LOL This assumes that dishonesty is a desired trait they are selecting for in the first place. If you HAVE telekinetic abilities, or ANY supernatural powers for that matter, James Randi for example will give you a million dollars if you can prove it under controlled conditions. No one, in all...

    ISIS the terror machine

    Two points: 1) USA Bro acts childish because HE'S STILL A CHILD! He may grow out of it. Most kids are morons, and, somehow, eventually turn into adults. They are easily impressionable, and, well, whatever environment Bro is in must be a DOOZY. As a teen, he is still developing (Despite...

    Color blindness? Post what YOU see!

    OK, I found a source that knows what dress it is, and, its blue and black: Pic of it in better lighting. :D For everyone who initially saw it as white and gold for example (me), its crazy....But, I did later start seeing it as light blue/black later....but not dark blue/black.

    Illegal activity, What Have You Thought About?

    LOL I believe there can be ex-thieves. Most children below a certain age cannot really internalize right and wrong as concepts, and, tend to view likelihood of punishment instead. There have been studies on cognitive development, and, essentially, as a classic example: If children are...

    Illegal activity, What Have You Thought About?

    Sigh. Stealing is wrong. If you want to rationalize and say, "stealing is only wrong, if the person you steal from can't afford the loss" or So, lets flip it around...I'm not rich per se, but, If someone stole a $300 3 w 445 laser from me, I could afford it....my life would not be severely...
