Well, thanks to ChipDouglas, who saved me from having to spend $15, I just gotta buy another fuse for my multi-meter ($0.90!) I now have a cool little cheapie line generator. All I did was shine my 50mW green laser into the EDGE of a blown F500mAL 250VP fuse that was in my multi meter, and I got an INCREDIBLE line of green on my wall. It goes a full 180* from your feet to above your head. And it's not some bad line that's bright for the first 2 feet, then really dim. It's a full line, really bright green, there's a dot in the middle, then it spreads. But, shinning the middle will result in a short line, surrounded by green speckles. It's cool either way, but shinning the edge gets a perfect green line. There are many different line type / shapes you can get, from tilting the fuse you can get arcs and circles, or shining not the VERY center, but close, you can get the line to go behind you, if you aren't in the way of course! I will TRY to get some pics tonight...Go ahead, try it yourself!:beer:
