although many might think thatkipkays laser videos suck, i was watching this one and thought someone here might love it for laser affects.
here it is

i wish i could get dry ice in australia

There is nothing wrong with some KipKay projects as long as they don't
include a Laser...

He's proven time and time again that he has absolutely no Laser Safety
sense or evev Common Sense when it comes to Lasers and their operation.

He makes some dumb Videos showing how to blind your self or your loved
ones...

This Dry Ice Fogger video is a good one... (no Lasers)...

yes i reckon it would be great to fog up a room and get a spiro or a green or blu ray laser into it. that would amuse me for hours. i dont think i can get dry ice in aus tho. and you americans can get it in your supermarket. your lucky.
cheers

LOL, I didn't realize other countries didn't have dry ice available. Yeah, you can buy it in many supermarkets here. The last few times I've gotten any, they've had it locked up and you have to get a manager to get it out for you, but it's not uncommon at all.

Do a search in your local Yellow pages if you have them in Australia
or do a Google search for your area...


Jerry

damm you guys are lucky. and we have pretty much no good electronic shops around. and if you want to buy a 5mw red module its 99 dollars and GREEN MODULE 5mw i 150

You need to be 18 though, or have the internet and a prepaid card (prepaid ftw!).

what do you mean by having internet and a card.
cheers

Internet, the thing you're using right now, and a prepaid card. You knwo those things you get at the bank that are like a crdit card, but are like a universal gift card. You can even get reloadables!

you can make your own dry ice I have done it befor so I know you can.
Get the largest CO2 fire extinguisher you can find turn it upside down place a cloth over the opening of the nozzel and point the nozzel down and put it very close to the ground and pull the trigger you will make lots of dry ice, have fun and don't get burned.

CAM is right it's carbon dioxide gas so it stays close to the ground you will never fill a room with it for if you did there would be no air to breath and you will die from lack of oxygen !

o yeah i know that dry ice is c02 and the fire extinguisher idea is good.
thanks

im australian and you can get it at Scotts party supplies in sydney or some othe rplaces, you need to fill in a form first

Well hi there TTerbo! Also, that would be so cool for my upstairs! Get some dry-ice, and I'd get a waterfall effect of 'fog' going down to the first floor! (we have this huge 30ft ledge, but of course it has a rail) AWESOME!!

Dry ice for $1 a pound, don't know if they ship everywhere though.

look awesome flowing down stairs. Thanks bloompyl. i actually not really a noob at this i haver been coasting here and i finaly desided to join. i didnt know that u could buy drty ice overseas. how long does that stuff last. before melting or evaporating?

Depends on a lot of factors, how much you have, the form its in (slap, block, pellet), the container. I'm noticing that they don't sell online, they have stores for it...

It totally depends on environment, shape of pieces, etc, like posted above.

And just to be clear, it doesn't melt OR evaporate: It sublimates, going straight from solid to gas.

Well said

o yes i forgot it sublimes. just like my iodine.
cheers

Your kidding about the form, right ? what dose the goverment think you will down a aircraft or something ???

hmmmmmm this sucks

I live in southern california so i make no representation for the world: BUT at my local welding supply store they sell dry ice... Just a thought.


michael.

Just a curiosity ..... how much cost dry ice in the USA, if you can buy it freely in stores ?

I'm asking for curiosity, cause here in Italy, there's only 2 ways for get dry ice ..... having an industrial licence / special permission that permit you to buy it in big quantities (VERY big quantities) ..... or get it for "transportation of special / pharmaceutical products" ..... in the second way, you can buy "kits" with dry ice and special container for transport, the only problem is that the smallest one that i have found is 20 Kg of dry ice for 102 Euro (125$), and there is no way for get it in smaller quantities or from any store, only by orders .

The only other possible way, here, can be from theatrical / shows supplies, but i don't dare to guess about the prices from them ..... in that field, there is always one or two zeroes too much, at the end of the price tags

This will just cover the floor..

himnl9 a block 10 pound block of it is like 12 bucks or less.
