    XBox 360 Mod

    Thought you guys might enjoy what I'm doing. I recently (as in yesterday) started looking into XBox 360 mods. Basically with some custom installations you can run games from a USB, mod games, etc. I have a Trinity motherboard with the latest dashboard so I decided to do an RGH2, Duel NAND (using...

    Soldering Leads to a Driver

    It's not a plain "lamp". It shines in a cone of light into a water and flouricine mix. Because 405nm flourences very well it's good for it. Also, I know the process of soldering, I just don't know where to attatch the leads.

    Soldering Leads to a Driver

    I'm making a laser lamp. I found it awhile ago on styropyro's YouTube channel (where many of us start) and because of my parents not allowing power, I decided to go for effects. I just never got around to building it until now. EDIT: Just realized that red wasn't part of your sig. Yah I've read...

    Soldering Leads to a Driver

    Hello all, I purchased a simple 5mW (Yes, I know it will certainly not be actually at 5mW) 405nm module. It is designed for a pen host though so it comes wiht a spring attatched, not leads. For the use of my project however, I need leads soldered on. Despite lurking for a while now, I haven't...

    Burning laser build (Cheap as possible)

    Also the CPU and the some heatsinking. One of our members, styropyro, made a tutorial a while back. It's age restricted by youtube because of "danger" so you will need to log into to an over 18 account. Here is the link: DIY: Hack a Dead Computer into a Burning Laser! - YouTube

    Burning laser build (Cheap as possible)

    Ok. Would you by chance happen to have an old computer laying around that you could take apart?

    Burning laser build (Cheap as possible)

    Have you made sure they are ok for the 600nm range? Do you want a handheld laser or would you perfer a base?

    Burning laser build (Cheap as possible)

Also if you do want help, please be specific. Do you want a specfic color? What is your budget, cheap is very...

    Laser Noob Help

    I actually am very fond of the Wicked Lasers Core (Core Series - 5mW Green Laser Pointer | Wicked Lasers). I'm assuming you've heard of Wicked Lasers bad reputation but the Core has next to zero IR and is usually on spec within a mW. It is fairly pricey for the power though as you would expect...

    Rage against Michigan State Laser Saftey

    I may in fact do just that. Both of the beams were stationary, but the beams were within an inch or so of the table so they would be easy to accidently break. Neither lasers had beam dumps though, just a piece of black metal. What was particularly terrible was there was actually a reflection...

    Rage against Michigan State Laser Saftey

    Hello all, A few months ago, I visited Michigan State University in order to recieve my chemistry merit badge (working on Eagle Scout :D). While I was there, we got a tour of the science department. One such area we got to see was the laser area. They had a high powered green labbie (forget the...

    30mW Kaleidoscopic Green Laser

    Thanks, I'll probably go with this one. Could you post your readings on this thread when you recieve them so I can get an idea of what power I'm dealing with because I am currently lacking an LPM of any sorts. Also if the name in your sig is your real name, awesome name (it's also mine). EDIT...

    New to Gas; A Few Questions

    Oh haha. Sorry Its hard to pick up sarcasm without hearing it. And on the care and use of HeNes, do you have to run them every once and a while to keep them working? Do they have duty cycles? How do you turn them on (just flip a switch or is there a series of something you have to do? Also, is...

    New to Gas; A Few Questions

    Ok thanks. I got seem to find epay though. And on flea pay I cant seem to find a way to search for items. Also when you said I should check the forums, do you mean the buy and sell section?

    New to Gas; A Few Questions

    Thanks both of you. I plan to start with just buying a small HeNe before trying to build one. Would you guys have any suggestions of where to buy from? I preferably would only want something 2mW-5mW of any color. Preferably reasonable price but won't say a budget because I don't really know how...

    New to Gas; A Few Questions

    Hello all, I have recently gotten interested in gas lasers and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I know pretty much nothing about gas lasers and have only done a little bit of reading but haven't found any building tutorials or purchasing tips for beginners. Could...
