If you could chuck the axle into a lathe or drill in a vise, then put the laser on it so it casts its line then observe changes in the line as you polish the axle with the lathe turning and some fine fine 400 or higher wet sandpaper. That could be interesting.

Oh. A laser excited fluorescent bulb eh? Darn I thought they were using Multimodes' RGB...

So, now we are putting lasers below eye level and at obviously eye damaging power. Don't tell me you've never had normal bright headlights blind you. And I don't believe a .5mW light is going to provide enough illumination for night driving. Now we have to wear laser goggles to protect us from...

Yes but, the drone they took out was black and we all know lasers propensity for things that absorb all wavelengths. We also know the more wavelengths reflected the less effective the laser becomes. Edit: Or, something like that... Edit#2 They want to fire it at manned boats. Isn't there some...

1) Wouldn't making the drones highly reflective defeat the laser?:tinfoil:

532nm beam shot from Mars Phoenix Lander LIDAR: Catalog Page for PIA11030 on Mars. "A laser beam from the Canadian-built lidar instrument on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander can be seen in this contrast-enhanced sequence of 10 images taken by Phoenix's Surface Stereo Imager on July 26, 2008, during...

No, not contouring a Laser Housing, using lasers to melt away fat and cellulite: Crazy Laser Contraption I'm trying to find out more before I call 'quackery'... Edit #2: Well they have a wiki page. Must be legit :D. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerona #3 According to the article, "A...

Now that I think about it some more it cools almost like a TEC.

I thought this might give those who are looking for something new to do with their lasers something to shoot for. (Pun intended :D) Yeah it does seem counter intuitive to normal refrigeration. Where there is a phase change from a liquid to a gas. Here there doesn't seem to be any phase change...

From the people at Cracked.com: 5 insane sci fi weapons that now exist in reality. "By using lasers on high-pressure gas, German scientists were able to lower temperatures by 119 degrees in just seconds. The trick is that photons can knock electrons out of their orbits. When an atom loses...

My daughter had a Chihuahua that would go nuts looking around for the dot just hearing the tinkle of the key chain on the Laser. And because he could hear that the tinkle came from our hand he soon associated the tinkle and our hand with the laser. If we tinkled the chain without turning on the...

My father in law used to say the same about me. “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.” ― Dr. Seuss

It's like watching a train wreck. I don't want to see it but now I can't look away...

#82 would be my choice also from personal experience. I once thought I was crazy and sought counseling. My counselor told me crazy people don't think they're crazy but, sane people do. Here are a couple of articles you may also find interesting. Electromagnetic Spectrum Maser I'm really...

I was being very serious about the byproducts of meth cooking turning the place into a hazardous waste dump. http://www.commpartnership.org/nometh-lab-by-products.php#dangers And I was being serious about the proper search term for Google. Amongst all those returns must be your answer. The...
