it works great i do have to teak the design a bit after putting it into the AUG but it should be working again soon, as for a video the ssy-1 is not a very photogenic laser but when its working ill try and get a video.
oh and yes it is indeed a ruby laser
thanks for the feedback :D

thanks the main problem is the lighter peizo i can get a video using a Tesla coil to trigger it ill eventually use the PFN1 and trigger assembly that was made for the ssy1 as soon as i figurer out how to hook those things up i would also need a portable capacitor charger for it

any way if you don't mind the Tesla in the way i can make a video now

My SSY-1 is a NdYAG laser. Did yours come with ruby? That would be nice to have a RED !!!! I've done air breakdown using a 2" FL lens. It chipped the glass on both sides!
Be real sure to protect your eyes with that laser. It can peak near 1 MW!

I'll waiting for a video, I'm just curious :) Anyway I think that will be difficult to see a beam like this in a movie, the pulse is to short for a standard video camera, but will be nice ;)
