i am trying to find the correct laser for my needs
sorry for all the questions, just trying to be safe than sorry.
1. for a rave would a 55mW pen green laser be suitable? what mW would be suitable?
2. more mW, more burning power, plus more brighter, does this burning power result from the intensity/brightness of the green laser or the increase in infrared that the crystal could not completely convert to green?
i plan to have spinning motors, and some diffraction gratings, and crystal ball effect, one man laser show basically, i plan to have the beam above the crowds heads.
3. if a person jumps into the beam and catches a glimpse of a moving beam more than 8 feet away will their eyes go bad, or hurt? what will happen? i see many videos with lasers passing into the crowd, but no one complains, i also heard of lasers blinding pilots, even though they are different mW lasers, the rule of thumb is always wear safety glasses when working with any laser over 5mW...does this only apply to a certain distance? so what is safe and not? (this confuses me so so so very much)
4. all high powered lasers(anything above 5mW) can burn, but the burning intensity goes less with the distance, so does that mean my audience will be safe in a 8 feet distance.
5. will i as the operator have to wear eye protection? or anything else?
6 i plan to buy a pen laser, im not sure yet, im very much open to suggestions at the moment, but will you advise me to but an extra infra red shield to put in front of the beam?
i wish to have a laser show of the brightness of the green lasers in
youtube.com/watch?v=TRzs44xFvqw
its obviously more than a 5mW laser being used.
7. how much mW would you think the green lasers are?
8. at times the beam shoots at the crowd, is that safe? or because it passes over the eyes so fast there is no effect?
9. does any one know where to get a long sheet of a diffraction grate so i can cut out the size that i want? the starburst gratings are too small to mount on a spinning motor to have the laser light pass through.
i still want to have a bright light laser show, what is the max and minimum mW laser you will recommend for this purpose.
ive been reading various forums and threads, some answers to questions like mine vary so i get confused
im sorry for all the questions, i am new as u can tell (maybe one day ill be answering very questions like these
)
I dont want to risk anyones eyes or body during the laser show, safety is my absolute number one concern, and to have a good bright laser show is next.
any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance.
