    Invitation to All Members:Free Laser Trial -DinoDirect

    Table based design is flawed to the nth degree... a table is meant for organizing data in a table like you would in a presentation. tables are great for comparisons, tallys, lists with multiple values, etc.. The Table tag is not meant for design that's why they made divs and css. When you use...

    Invitation to All Members:Free Laser Trial -DinoDirect

    Hey Dino, Let me just say a few things about your site. Understand that I am not trying to flame you or anything however I am a web developer by profession and I think you should hear a few things that you won't hear for free anywhere else. Firstly your site has to potential to be really...

    Traveling at the speed of light...

    True. I forgot to read everything lol... rhe difference is minuscule however when we are looking at the speed of light those differences are multiplied greatly. Like if you're .001 degree off of a coordinate and your coordinate is 1foot away you basically get there however if it is light-years...

    Traveling at the speed of light...

    I'm fairly certain it would look like it was going 1mph... relatively speaking the light speed ship would be going 1mph. just like a fly flying in your car... while you are in the car it appears to fly to the front at lets say 1m/s however someone of the sidewalk would see it flying at (your car...

    WTB: Custom Aixiz module

    Hey I'm looking for a custom aixiz like module for my laser zippo build. I need either one of the already made aixiz modules turned doen to 10mm or someone that can build one from scratch. I have no need for the threading on the back... just a 10mm diameter housing and the threading for the...

    HP help...

    if you have several sticks of ram try one at a time... if one works then that one is fine... if not then try the next.... don't take the cpu out again... 99.99% of the time its not the CPU... if none of them work try a different slot... if that doesn't work try one that works on another computer...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Yes I did lol.. Notta thing check out the high voltage forums they may have some good info for ya

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Yep that's what I'm doing... started out with a nice little PHR Zippo Build. I'm actually eyeing one of the chrome Pocket mini hosts from jayrob... and I need to build myself a greenie asap!

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Those little plasma globes that you buy and put on your desks give off about as much ozone as these things do... Ozone is the least of your worries in this case.... the point is if you can start to smell ozone it's time to turn it off for a little. As with everything use some common sense and...

    Custom Copper heatsinks made to order

    I'm looking for an aixiz clone but 10mm in diameter... aluminum would be fine if it's easier as it will be attached to a larger aluminum heatsink and i have no need for the screw on bit at the back as this is for my laser zippo project.

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Those 1W 445nm give me the willys lol... I seriously think all these people starting off with 445s are in for trouble... I would love to work up to it someday but holy moses those seem dangerous in a noobs hands... at least this HV stuff is fairly difficult to make... I know a lot of people who...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    exactly.... do you not think I researched and understand the dangers of making this thing before I did? It's not so easy that someone with no clue could put it together... Zappo I really don't know why you've got a strong aversion to my project... I know for a fact that anyone wanting to...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Oh and another really interesting tidbit that I absolutely love about this thing.... It gives off ozone so it makes my room smell fresh lol... you don't want to keep it on too long as ozone can be dangerous... sweet nonetheless.

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    There is barely any amperage here... tasers run off the same principal you see the high voltage spark but there's no real punch behind the high voltage kick. You also need to understand that the high voltage arc is not looking for ground! It is looking to complete the circuit with itself as it...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Not sure but I know that I can modify this to become a jacobs ladder... as the arc gets higher and wider it gets louder. When I get some more MOSFETs I'll put up some more videos

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Ya that company probably went under due to not being able to sell them. It is basically a spark gap generator which was originally used to communicate over am (not modulated of course but by using morse code. turning on and off) anyways the FCC would never approve these as they give of fierce...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Yep the whole thing is off of 12V... it's pretty much a tesla coil the 12V induces a higher voltage, lower current flow into a secondary coil... let me tell you it has one hell of a kick. I'm currently looking at making a 170VDC version by rectifying my 120VAC mains... that would mess you up...

    Lasers aren't the only dangerous thing thats fun to play with... try high Voltage!

    Hey guys! I absolutley love playing with electronics and web dev, and physical computing, and last but not least lasers. I do a blog, more about my projects less about my profession, and just a few weeks ago I posted up a video of my plasma speaker. It's pretty sweet if I do say so myself and I...

    WTB: 2 PHR 803T diodes for my laser zippo project

    Using a flexdrive set to 90mA under load and yes I make sure to short the pads to discharge the caps... EDIT: Correction.... I'm using a Rckstr driver at 90mA EDIT AGAIN: Hmmm I'm not even getting LED out of the current diode.. perhaps i have a faulty driver....
