maybe you could experiment around and see if some sorta really hard plastic could be used for the bottom cap or the spacer - or just something at the end so that if dropped in water it will float pointing down and boob up and down so you could get it maybe a large piece of plastic that goes all...

but will it float or sink if dropped in water? I think sink its got to be heavy

well maybe someone else in these forums will make "heads" for the maglight that use these batteries that are custom made heat sinks of a sort (you know how those Philips LED lights look that go in the ceiling) and just screwes on but I will be getting one of these for sure, its just hard, I...

are there any other types of lights that could be used for more output? say like one of those HID Xenon light or something really bright like that, with these batteries I would guess it should be able to run any type of bulb given you can pack up to 6 in a row (if you get the 6 cell one, they...

so the batteries will only last so long because of the current draw - is there a way to use the 6 cell maglite with some sorta of battery holder to keep the voltage the same just increase the run time like say 2 batteries that are together end to end - take 3 sets of these to have 6 batteries...

one of the reasons that diamonds are called "ice" is because if you put them into your mouth they are cold like ice and will remain so for some time nasa has made some synthetic diamond wafers that are used for heat transfer between 2 pieces of really fine machined surfaces that thermal paste...

for the thermal paste you should start using the IC Diamond paste this is much better then the AS5 - all you got to do is warm it up a little before use because its so thick, but diamond is the best conductor of heat by far Thermal conductivity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Silver and...

so what about something that you wore like one of those badges you wear at nuclear sites and places where radiation can be a problem for lasers? a badge or whatever that measures the amount of laser light you have been exposed to - scattered or direct probably disposable or maybe reusable...

I agree that eye safety is the most important there is I tell people to treat it like your laser is a gun that shoots out bullets that only hurt your eyes - and like any bullet if it hits you you need to go see a doctor so they can help to reduce the damage as much as it can be done they can...

I had a friend who broke like 3 diodes the same way - the lens on it would crack and fall into the diode it self - not the focusing lens but the actual lens on the diode or whatever that glass window is the OP was talking about after the 3rd one he asked a friend to examine the broken pieces to...

a delay after pressing the ON button! WOW that seams like the most dangerous thing you could have! think about a gun that fires with a delay, you know someone will look down the barrel and see whats wrong only to get shot in the face to delay the turning on of a laser after you press the...

vous devriez mettre tout en anglais comme en français si le travail na pas de traduction il peut être traduit à nouveau you should post everything in English as well as French so if the translation didnt work it can be translated again vous devriez mettre tout en anglais comme en français si...

I was going to start a new thread about this but decided to post here first is there a way to make the termination point of the laser smaller at long distances? I can shine it across a lake that is about 1 mile across at the point where I am doing it - there is a huge DNR sign on the other...

you should put a really powerful fan to blow the smoke away - not only will it help to burn better since the smoke isnt in the way but it will look cool, like something entering the atmosphere maybe

hindsight may be 20/20 but your vision might not be anymore
