    Hummer Mounted Laser in Action

    Seeing the video of the 20 million dollar laser in use, makes me wonder why they couldn't do the same thing with a .50 caliber armor piercing round for about a buck-fifty.

    FDA is after me?!?!

    People talk about paranoia like it's a bad thing. -I like the way you think. Might be a good idea to buy an hour of a knowledgeable lawyers time for a consult. I'm sure there are a few, probably simple, technical things you can do that can keep you and your business safe. Lot's of people sell...

    'Tis a Sad State of Affairs

    That sucks man. I've been both burgled and robbed at gun point, and though both are bad, for some reason, I felt worse about the burglary, that happened when we were out of the house, than the robbery, that happened at a restaurant. Putting aside the danger of having an idiot pointing a firearm...

    Lighting matches with a blueray.

    I think I know, but I'd like him to explain too, so I know for sure.

    DealExtreme doesn't ship US?

    No problemo man. My post was really just a joke on the way people here in California make a big deal about calling illegal immigrants, "undocumented immigrants". They think that by just changing what they're called, it will make what they do ok. I guess you have to live in a border State to get...

    DealExtreme doesn't ship US?

    Instead of calling them Illegal Lasers, can we just agree to call them undocumented lasers?

    DealExtreme doesn't ship US?

    O-Like will ship to the US and they say they've never had any of their shipments confiscated by US customs. -Paypal (more of a "Big Brother" than a pal) is the real force behind DX's decision not to attempt shipping lasers to the US. Paypal doesn't want the hassle of dealing with paypal paid...

    w/ Axzis Lens, what is focus distance from diode?

    Re: w/ Axzis Lens, what is focus distance from dio Thank you, that's very helpful. -I was afraid it would be like half an inch or more.

    w/ Axzis Lens, what is focus distance from diode?

    With a 405nm BluRay, what is the usual distance from the laser diode can, to the lens? I know some focusing is required, so I'm just looking for an approximate measurement, in mm's or fractions of an inch, from the end of the diode can, to the face of the lens. Thanks in advance. -SK

    Troops blinded by own "LASERS".

    Boredom is the number 1 cause of non-enemy injuries. I can just picture the corporal trying to explain things to his platoon sergeant: "Well sarge, Jones was messing around with his and got me in the eye, so I got him back, to show how it wasn't funny and then he tried to get me again and got...

    Where do you get your wire?

    If your power connector has 24 pins, jump pin #16 (it's always the one with the green wire) to any black wire (ground). If your power connector has 20 pins, jump pin# 14 (again, it's always the green one) to any ground pin (black wire). With the respective pins grounded, the power supply can be...

    Addding adjustable focus to my laser

    The lens I posted is not a pinhole lens -though even pinhole lenses still have actual glass or acrylic objectives. This is a pinhole lens: And, the IR filter is separate from the lens, it's usually attached directly to the CMOS or CCD sensor or to the bottom of the lens holder. A lot of these...

    soldering with a laser?

    For fine SMT work, you'd want a 2W fiber coupled laser diode, with some kind of active cooling. Hand grip can be made for the fiber; instant on, instant off; no focusing worries. -perfect for small detail soldering. The unit pictured sold for less than $160 dollars on ebay.

    Where do you get your wire?

    I work with computers all day. I get most of my project wire from stripping out the IDE and SATA data cables that run from the motherboard to the hard drives. If I need a larger gauge, I use the 5 and 12v peripheral power connector wires. PC power supplies make great 5, 7 and 12volt regulated...

    Addding adjustable focus to my laser

    You want what is called a "board lens", type M12. They are used on small circuit baord CCTV cameras. Measure the width of your tube in milimeters and order one of the correct size. You want an aspherical lens with the longest focal length you can get. -For a little more money, get one with a...

    Burning Handheld Laser

    I wouldn't say impossible, but it would be so impractical, that it would border on the ridiculous. It's like the flying car or the personal jetpack; yes, some exist, people have built them, but along with having extremely short flight times, for the same amount of money, you could buy both a...
