You know... the Spyder III is quite large, slightly phallic, and overly powerful for your average joe. It's kinda the monster truck of hand held lasers. I mean if you are not a laser enthusiast purchasing it for the novelty of it, why would you buy it? Hmmm...

Let me know if you ever want to sell them.

Get yourself a nice 35v 100000 uF cap. Charge it up when you have a friend over and go, "here man, catch!" Works even better if you've been shooting hoops are something and you're all sweaty. :evil:

Only transistor equipment I've every been able to stand was Spectral. Truly amazing components. I had a Spectral DMC-20 preamp for years. You would think god himself was whispering in your ear. Plus it was a work of art. The hand built circuit board was gorgeous: ...of course it should be for...

The Spyder IV is going to be a COIL laser of around 1kW. You'll be able to pop balloons: And light matches: ...with it.

Sorry I'm too busy making condom water balloons and perfecting my underarm fart noises.

Is it just me, or is his youtube channel rather sophomoric? First time I ever saw it was today. That's just a first impression.

Totally agree. No reason why young people shouldn't have access to high powered lasers. Especially if they can articulate themselves as it applies to their hobby. These young people are not who I'm talking about. These young people understand they aren't playing with toys. Any bets on how many...

This fellow does realize that if somebody builds that lighter and blinds themselves he could be sued penniless, right? Disclaimers really aren't binding in a court of law. It has to be a legal notarized document. Just saying. I'll give an example: Back when I was doing amateur pyrotechnics a...

:crackup:

What's really sad is neither one of his parents will let him have a pellet gun, but daddy will buy him a dangerous ADULT device. After all, he might put his eye out with that pellet gun. What's really sad is the useless main stream media. They have no problem frothing and foaming about terrorist...

Oil filled? Probably full of PCBs, too. lol! So they had those babies in a 400 mic variety @ 4KV? Those caps are just scary, man. Sold the D250 a while ago. I'm using a pair of heavily modified Dynaco Stereo 70s wired as monoblocks now. Sound much better. ARC makes fine preamps... some of the...

Been reading around the various sub forums here and see so many posts about lightsaber this and lightsaber that. One guy in the red lasers forum was actually trying to build a lightsaber with an array of red diodes. These folks really need to learn their Star Wars canon. First off the fictional...

Yeah, I was thinking of getting him a safe replacement. Perhaps something cooler looking. I've been searching online for the one I confiscated and the closest one I can find that kinda looks like it is this: DealExtreme: $53.44 200mW Green Laser Pointer Pen Black It pretty much looks like that...

4KV of DC? How many cans? doesn't matter really. The customer would just walk in and ask where is the technician and where did this smoking pile of ashes come from? lol! Don't have to tell me. heh Actually best to wear a belt and tuck one hand in there behind your back. I always wonder for...

Goes the same with vacuum tube amps and such. For example: I'm working on a home built amp based on a 6550 tube. The plate voltage is 645 V with a current of 210 mA. That will kill you deader than shit. You don't "play" with this stuff. You know what you are doing first. I got hit by a 800 V cap...

Burns a brown paper at close range with no problem. You're right, that'll scare the mess out my sister-in-law. Heh... this is the women who won't let me take the kid to the range to shoot .22s because it's too dangerous. Luckily I doubt my nephew has even played with the thing. In was still in...

First off, first post. I do lurk this sight occasionally, thou. Computer tech by trade. Hobbies include old vacuum tube electronics (mmmm... voltage), pyrotechnics, and firearms. Yes, I like my slightly dangerous hobbies. Anyway, enough of that. I just don't like to make a first post without...
