I am SOOOO happy!
Look:
1 SenKat diode
+ 1 AixiZ Module
+ 1 Trip to Raido Shack
+ $30 US dollars
= This:




WOW! NO change in shutter speed!  :eek:
It can:
-Pop Baloons
-Light maches
-Burn almost all black/dark plastic
-The beam is visible at night
-Scare my Science teacher :D

oohh cool!! What are you using to drive the diode? any idea on power output? Nice Work!! ;)

A big cap, a 5 ohm Resistior, and little rechargable bats.
It workes, and Im' guessing 40-50 mW.

Nice Work! Congratulations. Makes me feel even better about my recent purchase of 4 SenKat diodes - I'm practically drooling in anticipation!

Im pretty sure its putting out more than that, measure the current at look at hemlock mikes graph for it, mine at 250ma was like 170mw i think.


....lazer.... ;D ;D ;D

I am guessing you are correct. Change the resistor to a 2.2 ohm resistor and use a pair of alkaline batteries. This will power the diode with ~160ma's which should give you close to 100mw's output.. ;) Of course eventually you really should use a driver.

How will 2.2 affect the power? Is it just a better choice? How will it change it?

Wow....
it was 10 ohms.... Can I put 4 of these in paralell to make 2.5 ohms?
If not, does RaidoShack cary 2.2 ones?
Whats the power with a 10 ohm? Sounds like a lot less. :eek:

Yes you can put 4 10ohms in parallel to make 2.5 ohms. Radio Shack has 5 watt 1 ohm resistors. You could put two in series to make a 2 ohm resistor, but it would be overkill as you don't need 5 watt resistors. So for now the best thing to do is use 4 10ohm resistors in parallel.
