So I figured I would show the build of my waterproof laser module to kill past anemones in my saltwater fish tank. I have used a laser before to kill them but from outside the tank through the glass but I figured if I can get closer it would probably do a better job of killing them.
So my plan is to have a handheld module with the driver inside and for it to be waterproof so I can get as close to the anemone as I can. The batteries and the power switch stay outside of the fish tank in a separate hand held module.
************YouTube video of it in action. If you listen to the video closely you can here the anemones crackling and popping. http://youtu.be/cAer8C8KwOA ************
Thanks for checking it out.
This first picture shows the module parts.
From left to right, glass lens, diode and Lens holder, driver heatsink, module housing, tail cap.
Glass lens with aluminum ring.
Laser lens and diode heatsink.
Driver was thermal pasted to the driver heatsink.
Tail cap
Finished module.
Battery tube and power switch.
