I just assumed it was some sort of diode based system, I don't think they would release quotes saying pennies per shot and then later qualify it by saying "hydrogen/deuterium and fluorine not included" And fwiw, I was told that the itchy feeling might be due to the actual cornea heating up and...

Hmm, okay. But if there was a kW class IR laser shooting stuff around me I'd want goggles. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I've had a good scare when I thought my contacts somehow trapped dust underneath them but my eyes kept itching with glasses. Can't be sure, didn't get it checked out, but I...

Just the news division or Turner in general? And I've never had IR diodes, so the only points of reference I have are a 40W engraver or the kW range steel cutter at a plant I used to work at. (Both closed when in operation, don't think either scales very well to the 30kW pulsed weapon anyway :p)...

I mean is it easy to control the crew though? Presumably in a situation where they need to use that thing, it won't be a leisurely time, but on even the smallest vessels (that the system can fit on) there are a lot of people throughout the ship. (I'm guessing. If anyone is in the Navy or the...

I'm sure I'm late to the party, but in case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's this one, with the modified game console controller: I can't really tell, but it looks something like a pulsed laser like in a laser cutter, and it takes a not insignificant time to melt/burn/vaporize its...

So do HeNe tubes maintain output power fairly well over possibly multiple decades? Does firing it up once in a while, or leaving them in a closet with dust piling on them (like I do) affect that at all? If so, which is better? Or do you mean since their output was probably over the...

I’m looking for something similar to what OEM air cooled argon laser vendors use. Woven w/ PVC impregnated? Not Sure Has a click/adhesive lock system apparently. This one just look like plain ol’ PVC. Oh by the way, the PSU I was looking for way back here, I finally found it, but the...

Hello, I have a few air-cooled argon lasers I play with, but I need to jump some pins for them to lose. I was thinking of building a remote interface by reverse engineering the pinouts, and I’ve got a shopping cart full of wire, TE AMP CPC connectors, MultiMate sockets, BUT,, I have no idea...

I found the key code completely by accident, popped up in amazon when I was browsing for something else (targeted ads are kinda scary lol). A lot of the older power supplies use NKK for the key interlocks, the one that fit mine was key code #1201, but yours might be different. Daichi is right...

I recently picked up a NEC/Showa GLS 3135 PSU and matching GLG 3135 argon head. It's an OEM only 488/515 setup from the Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope. Everything was working fine, but the interlock key was snapped off in the lock. I just used whatever was around to twist the cylinder on...

Do let me know, I have a Showa GLG-3075 thats just being an expensive paperweight at this point, wondering if I could rewire it to work with the GLS-3080.

I'm assuming the fuzzy spider isn't included?? :p Anyway I'm a little confused, why does it include an AW battery + energizer battery 5v total? Does it run off of a lithium + alkaline battery? Probably not, could you enlighten me lol Lastly, are you interested in trades at all? I've got some...

Are you selling the NEC Argon?

Hey everyone, I haven't been on here in like forever, but I'm moving in a couple months, so I decided to put some lasers I have up for sale/free since they deserve to be loved instead of rotting, forgotten, in various nooks and crannies of my house. I'll most likely putting some gas tube/ps...

That happens almost consistently. International tracking from hk/china area doesn't really work until weeks later or after the package has arrived in the dest. country.
