So i found 2 little pieces of plastic...

[mikeeey]

1 is a broken piece of plastic on those flashing road block thingys, the orange plastic where the flashing light is.

the other is a yellow-neon colored plastic that was wrapped around a pole, it's reflective, so I shined my laser through them and i was pleasantly surprised!

Also i found the screw on cap to my 1mW red laser which i pointed my 30mW green through, and it shows a green $ sign. For now i will upload the crappy cell phone pictures, and later will come the good quality pics.

I cant find the video camera right now, ill find it tomorrow...
my phone's camera you really cant control the exposure (atleast not with the software it currently has), so I cant get any decent pictures, it looks much better in person.

Nice pictures and video, but why would you have that broken plastic from a road block? :

 

[mikeeey]

lol i picked it up after shining my laser through the plastic on the reflective tape, hoping it too would produce a nice design.

Nice find!

thanks!
only thing that sucks is the divergence (am I even using it in the right context) when pointed through. if you are 5 feet away it will produce a 5 foot image. You have to be very close to whatever you're pointing at or it will be way too big and you cant even see it.

focus your laser diferently, youll get different results

your right! although not extremely different, jsut makes some lines thicker, some dots bigger. magnifies patterns (such as the repeated triangles). With my 150mW focusable lsaer it would probably be easier to see the difference.

The $ & diffraction grating look nice together. I'm kind of suprised it turned out that good.
