    Simple way to measure laser power

    I would not go so far as to call it pseudoscience, his concept is kinda right and with the right room temp and math, he could get a fairly good measurement, NO measurement is perfect, we don't have the ability to get a quantized measurement but what he suggests is not simple, you would need...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    well as for it being legal, I would say no, as far as a defense weapon, come back in 10 years, I live in a shady neighborhood, best way I can think of to use a laser as a defense weapon is to hit them with it, they have good mass. the only thing I can see someone doing with a laser is blinding...

    laser profile and a hydrogen atom

    a quick question, did a quick search and did not find much, but why is the model for a hydrogen atom's electron "probability cloud" at different energy states, the same a the profile for a Gaussian mode profile for a laser? Just something that's been bugging me for a bit, I figure this would be...

    Best Way to Get Rid of 50W of Heat

    I would not use a tec, or water cooling, you are going to need a heatsink to displace 50w right, well a tec may putt of 80w extra to deal with on the hot side(just a guess to lazy for math) a water cooler needs a pump and their is more heat gererated. a small top down cpu cooler, that comes with...

    Gaming pc on a budget?

    you can use msi afterburner or riva tuner based app, to make a fan profile for your 260, its a good card and if you can keep it from burning out, though long in the tooth, can handle any game coming out this year.

    Question for the firearms afficianados out there.

    use to hike in AK if the are just black bear a shot in the air will have them running for the hills, if a bear is going to come at you, you want a rifle. Not a hand gun, large brown bears are fast, they have thick skin a thick skulls, you may not have time to epmty a clip from a hand gun, but it...

    Gaming pc on a budget?

    FX or bulldozer missed its mark in most circles and no operating system is optimized for them, as far as no game needing a good gpu, civ 5 runs off the cpu mostly, many simulators run from cpu as well or games that have allot of physics but don't use physx. I am using a amd955 overclocked to 3.9...

    Rescue Laser for Hiking

    I would go blue for the awesome scattering though it lacks range its because air scatters the crap out of blue, and I can see it from any angle, green is very bright but a 1/2 mile you would need the beam to be pointing withing a few degrees of the "help" for them to see it, a blue line in the...

    Blue blocking glasses, melatonin, and the circadian rhythm

    my pc I built for my room was in a HAF932 coolermaster case, and the blue diode made me have night sweats and woke me up quite a bit, all my issues went away when cut the lead to the diode. Thing was just to bright to be a power light, and the hard drive lights had me think cops are pulling up...

    are there any Plexiglass sheets for laser safety?

    a yellow hue sees to absorb 405nm the best orange for 455 red for 535 and so on. just like art class in school with the color wheel, A yellow acrylic will absorb almost all scattered and fast axis light but a direct shot will burn the acrylic I would think. If you are just keeping it from...

    Will the Canadian "national security" flag me as a terrorist for this

    hahah a bit paranoid, well I don't think you get to be a terrorist with nothing but a laser. A box cutter or cell phone on the other hand. You may get put on a list, but its just a list saying you may have lasers, you don't go to a prison camp for buying a laser. you could go to jail, but you...

    Omg

    I know some doctor in Italy, I think, said he came up with a cure for varicose veins and some skin cancer using blue laser light at 445nm :crackup:,, what happened to blue light hazard? the pet lasers are odd to though, have a vet in my area that uses them what the hell man, is everyone nuts...

    Omg

    Its got FDA approval so it must not be bad for me:tinfoil: Sunlight messes up hair so......red lasers are good for it?

    Epic alarm clock

    WOW iphones have uses? I dont know if it would work, but I can't wait till the Iphone7 with the laser ring gyroscope built in, :thinking: I would think brain waves and sleep cycles are to much for a phone. I don't think the data they could have used was complete, and its a very complex issue to...

    Electromagnetic Laser?

    check the wiki on em radiation, Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it may have the the info you want, and has a small section on human interaction. Was trying to help you, but the post I was doing that in was over 500 words and still going so I am cheating, you can...

    Must a beam go into the eye to cause Retinal Damage?

    I would tell him to stop or break that fools laser off in his arse. My eyes are too bad to be much of a pilot, I have tried, I love to fly, but my laser surgery left me with a uv issue and strong light halos, and before that I was near sighted. If your eyes are good don't let some dick wreck...

    IR Radiation

    ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP [NR-ARG-EN207] - $80.50 I would them recommend these 80$ is a low price to protect your eyes.

    Too good to be true?

    so mental deficient or troll, one of two option, I vote for troll because I don't like to call folks stupid. posting a link to wicked lasers is just too much for you to not be a troll given the way most on this forum think about them. :wtf: I can make you a 445nm laser with an ir filter if you...

    What is the temperature of a laser beam ?

    I could be way wrong but I don't see heat as being an energy of a photon, but an energy of interaction with a photon. The beam will heat up things but not because it contains heat. If the total E of a photon is C x planks constant / wavelength, then I don't see any of its energy as heat.

    Cheap Safety Glasses - TESTED

    what rayfoss goggles? not the ones that are a flack jacket in a world of .50 bmg, the 500mw rated ones listed 445nm at 5od and that's what my cam had on when I took a picture of an 800mw 445nm laser from one foot. Already posted the pic, but the cam is dead Jim, so I thought I would reshare...
