I tried to search this online, but I couldn't find them I guess no one have list the function before? or maybe I am not searching for the right keywords?
I was talking to a friend and saying my hobby with lasers, they don't know what to say, but ask me what are the functions of the lasers... I was able to list out some of the functions, but of course I was not able to list all of them! it's just very hard to list ALL of them... as it will have something to do with our IQ and creativity... but I do very much wonder what other people use their lasers for? let's list some of them out for fun... I would like to know if there's any... very strange or very elite way to use your laser? but let's put them into category, I think for examples .... burning paper, would include all kinds of paper, so let's not list like "I burn red paper, white paper, or pink paper." But of course you can explain a little bit on the things you are burning, what wave length you found burning it easier...etc
For me the main reasons I buy them is because I love them, it's one of my hobby.
But I mainly use them as follow:
1. Point at the sky and talk to people about different things, thoughts (as I always like to imagine things)
2. Heat up for examples coffee for fun.
3. Burning paper... well again, just for fun...
4. This is more related to business, I put them up close to the test subject to test the heat resistance, usually on cases, packing materials... etc.
5. This is what I wanted to do, but I haven't do yet... as I wonder how much power it take to do just that.... point laser at the sky, so my friend near me can tell exactly where I am... sounds strange to do that, but I do go hiking quite a lot at night, and sometimes my friends fall behind, and they would like to know where I am, if it's too far, I will stay back a bit for them... and I know a 100mw green is not good enough to do that when in clear night sky... it's very hard to see when it's 100 meters away, I wonder what power it take to do that under any weather.
6. Start up a fire for camping/cooking, better than using a flash light, as I can light things up from a distant away.
7. This is also something I wanted to do, but not sure how to do yet... is to for examples use a lens to de-focus the point to make one area glow for a short time, so people can know where I am... I know I can uses one very bright point to get attention too, but the problem with this method is when there are trees, the tree will block the lights, so it would be good to be able to light up for example one whole tree, but I have no idea what I needed to do to de-focus it to make it big enough... anyone have any idea ?
8. suddenly something come to mind... I Do have quite a few camera, and I do use them often... and sometimes we got mold on them... but no one have any idea how to control those mold grown... I wonder if shooting a laser beam into the lens could help somehow kill some of them... oh well, just a thought, it might kill the coating inside.
9. Shoot it at the top of the celling, so it light up a room... (let's not do that with your 1W light in your wood-made houses....
10. De-focus it to see the clarity of some materials... it happens that I do work with some PET materials with laminated silicone, but the PET materials might be different, but since it has the silicone in between layers, it's very hard to tell the difference... but with a low power laser with de-focused beam, I can tell the difference when it go through or with some reflection...
EDIT: Add 11. Oh, and I heard those company which Make microchip/CPU/Flash memory also uses lasers, because their work is so delicate, they can't allow any dust on their IC, PCB, or chips... so they uses laser to ... I forgot the word, but somehow scan to make sure there are no dust on them before they proceed.
I think that is they 11 points I have... anyone have experiences to share, please do, I would really like to know how others use their lasers :thanks::thanks:
