I did stress saftey procautions and what not to do with it basically, i'm not too worried. I can't see how I can get in much trouble for something stupid they did, anyhow, the mythbusters idea is awesome... but will probly never happen because it would be too short of a demonstration. not enough...

Hmm... that worries me a little because I was selling some lasers on ebay, now if something happend with one of my customers, could I be held resposible? I have stated the saftey procautions of lasers, reccomended goggles and told them not to point at aircraft (or anything living for that...

O rly? I thought that elctrolic capacitors refused revers current... o wait that's the polarizised ones isnt it? BTW does it matter which direction the reistors go? (gold band to the right or left). Lastly do they really explode!? Hmm i looked at the few i already made, the diode and capacitor...

Re: Red Module from Stonetek electronics worthwhil I believe everything is free shipping from there now... He recently changed the type of LD to "nicer" ones as well.

Hey I was about to buy another LD when i noticed stonetek's site says very boldly Attention The SONY DIODES have changed from SLD1239JL to SLD1239JL-54 is this good or bad lol? oops, nvm... http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1206895447 Just bought 6 of them... this Senkat is...

Anyway heres my complete circuit, complete with exact pictures of the parts i used, found them on live search... batteries are the only thing not the same. everything is hotglued/taped off that should be (heatsink was dremeled off)...

I used the basic driver described on here with a lm317, 2 10 ohm resistors in paralell, silicone diode and really the only diff were my resistors were fireproff and my capacitor supported up to 35v. (no pot) I dont have a good enough camera, sorry, to get a good enough shot... what do you mean...

Tried a different set of batteries, still very dim... i'll save try the diode in another driver another day. Is this common or no? i just dont understand how it got dim instead of completely dissappearing... perhaps it was the cheapo batteries? anyway it was fun for the time i had it, and it'll...

O no, I made my laser about 2 weeks ago, been having fun with it no probs. All the sudden today the laser is very dim. Do you think it's broken? or is this most likely a part I used for the driver? Personally i think its broken, but its odd to me that it turns on at all, and why it just suddenly...

Alright, so I've been lookin for the best deals in capacitors and found these with a relativly low shipping price (less than 2 bucks). The first one I know will work, but the seccond one holds my quesion, it seems smaller and has a higher temp value, so wouldnt it be better? (easier to fit in...

Alright, so i should use a 5 ohm resistor, thats black gree black gold i believe. one last question, 1/4 watt or 1/2 a watt? I seems most use 1/2watt but i have a whole bunch of 1/4 resistors. You were right about that 16x LD... though i could swear i read 20x... must be goin crazy or forgeting...

From what I've read, you can. But it will get hot to the touch after just a few minutes, so even a cut heatsink one could be a better choice for the long term. Now on to my question, I'm just getting messed up when it's coming to the resistors and the pot. What resistor are you guys using when...

Okay, So I made my first circuit on a bread board, and now have finnished my new one (same parts) for this flash light mod. However when i tested the voltage, it was around 6v (using the same power source as the bread board, a 9v) However I remember the voltage being much lower with the pot on...

I have a LM317 transitor, but unlike yours its larger and has a metal piece with a circular hole cut into it, what exactly is the difference and can I use it in this project? Thanks!
