Aiming was done at 300mW and burning was wide-open. All shots were without any smoke or fog.

New problem that limits CW operation... The anode isn't heat sinked very well. I looked over at it once and oh shit! It's glowing red-hot. I think i can safely assume that that is not it's intended operating temperature.

Below is the blower. The smaller fan that initially came with it is also visible



And the 250V 50A plug compared with a conventional 120V 10A plug.

Very cool vid. One of the coolest I've seen so far. 8-)

Lovely visible beam with power I can only dream of. I bet it can even burn through thick black plastic.
 
WOW, straight through the duct tape! You have such cool lasers.If I had an Argon laser like yours I think my electricity bill would be enormous as I would only turn it off for duty cycle :D
 
:o NICEEEEEEEE , I bet that looks even better in person , and straight through the duct tape aswell ::)

And I liked the pic at the start, you should print that off and stick it to the laser ;D

Damn, it took me like 2 minutes since it's going very well now for some reason. :P

O_O

ur stealing mah bandwidths!!!!!!!111!!11!1
 
Amazing. Just curious, how much does a unit like that run, and where did you pick it up?
 
Coolest burning vid on this forum.
Invisible IR burning lasers=boring
4watt visible lasers=win
How much did you pay for that thing?
 
I was sitting there wondering why it took you so long to light the match, but you were MELTING solder! thats insane!
If i had that I would be throwing baloons into the beam... would probally pop instantly....
 
That was AWESOME!!! That has to be the best video on this forum, do we want to know how much this thing set you back?
 
OOUUW !!! ;) ;)

That's best work I've seen recent because ION ARGON cooks & that's my kind of music in the background and Ur pulling lotts of amps from the PLUG.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
So it's like 12500W for 4 quality, beautifully colored , duct tape piercing, solder melting laser watts :D
