    Russion scientists win nobel prize for graphene breakthroughs

    I've recently heard that two russion scientists where able to produce graphene with scotch tape and graphite. Pretty cool stuff.:cool: I've heard that it's capable of unparalleled strength (200 time the tensile strength of steel), thermal conductivity that rivals even diamond, electrical...

    Vdara hotel "deathray"

    This could be the largest accidental parabolic mirror deathray ever. Apparently the hotel Vdara in Vas Vegas is focusing allot of the suns energy towards where their pool area is... YouTube - Stung By the Death Ray --Hydro15

    Struck by a green on vacation.

    So I was on vacation in California a few days ago minding my business in the hotel just before I was about to go asleep, I saw a green dot on the ground out the window of my hotel (I was on the third floor). So I looked out the window to see who it was, I could tell that it was below me. I...

    Diode lives AND lases at -100F?

    I got kind of bored and decided to make some "poor mans liquid nitrogen" and put the low powered diode from a PHR-803T sled in it (don't ask me why I would do such a thing). I powered it up and ran it at 38mA's and submersed it in the cryogenic fluid. To my amazement it function normally. So I...

    DDL driver kills 635nm diodes?

    A while back I bought a few 7mW 635nm diodes on ebay. The first one I made had a faulty driver (negative was going into the LM317). It turned on and and functioned just fine. Later on, I realized that I had soldered the driver wrong and I made a new driver. Tested it on a dummy load. Everything...

    Laser attack

    Laserbee 1 short review

    If you want a power meter and don't want to spend a large some of money then I would definitely recommend the Laserbee 1. Jerry was very friendly and helpful with my many questions. They said shipping would take a couple weeks which it did but it was around the holidays and the weather was...

    LED shops 30mW green laser

    I needed a green laser for one of my projects and decided to get the 30mW green seen here. --> http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1075.htm Its feels really solid and looks like its definitely 30mW's or more. [smiley=thumbup.gif] my dx 35mW stage module is a little brighter but that one is...

    Turning laser on while the glow cap is on it...

    I've been wondering if turning my blu-ray on while the glow cap is on could damage it. It sounds like a bad idea but it would come in handy if I needed a flash light. ::) I've read about peoples lasers dying when they shine the DIRECTLY at mirrors because it reflects right back at the diode...

    A blu-ray diode actually turned blue

    Well...sometimes things can fail so much that something good happens. :P This is what happens when you drive a 803T diode at >600ma's Sorry, its REALLY bad quality but it is interesting. :P link --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EORq5JXD-Bk --hydro15

    the DT0811 is brighter then the 803T?

    So I finally got the "weaker" xbox diode out of its heatsink and mounted it in a dorcy Jr. heatsink/flexdrive..etc When I turned it on i really didn't think it was going to work since I had to use a Dremel to get that really annoying heatsink off the diode. I clicked the switch and for one...

    is the axiz 50mW green module any good?

    So am a bit confused here. I already have a DX 35 and it's probably putting out 70mw's at 430-450 ma's. I wanted to get something with a bit more power and i noticed that axiz was selling more of those 50's that daguin was talking about here -->...
