    Let`s light a cigarette with a laser in the stupidest way possible...

    Wow I love the color but I do not think I could even afford the electricity to power one more than a few minutes a month. :P Yes something like that could flash ignite a normal smoke. Though that's one hell of an expensive lighter. It takes me about twice as long to properly light a ring size 5...

    Let`s light a cigarette with a laser in the stupidest way possible...

    Hmm I bet at around 4w you could flash ignite the cigarette, I light them on stoves sometimes and my face is not puffing on it when this happens, I do not like 100W of IR on my face from 6" :P The hotter your element the longer you have to puff to keep it going, so with at some point the laser...

    Reference Guide: How to Combine Lasers

    So using dichros how much wavelength difference we talking. I wonder as new diodes come out and there peak is shifted or even binned on new models could you use pbs cubes and then dicros to say combing 4 beams if part of their spectum just kinda touches, will you get some interference just on...

    Let`s light a cigarette with a laser in the stupidest way possible...

    Yep except the angle kipkay used was much worse if memory serves me. I have ran out of lighters and and lasers and used them as a primary source of ignition for a few days at a time, taking precautions of course. You could close your eyes but you will just put a hole in you smoke :P, goggles are...

    Do you feel that the laser is just a desire that goes after holding it.

    Personally my love of lasers is more my curiosity on how the universe works, I personally find the light mesmerizing, and it inspires me to learn more about it, Burning stuff is just icing on a well decorated cake. But The magic of EM radiation has always fascinated me, and lasers are a rare and...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    I do not understand how the world works, eh. While I will admit that that is true, you also are no expert. I was talking about someone breaking in his house with the intent to kill him, and though it happens its almost always for a reason, a laser would just be a reason. I live in a bad...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    It is not for everyone but would work tons better than a laser, you hit me in the face with a laser it would give me a reason to shoot, thinking you could blind me before I squeeze a round into your head is the fail part. I personally do not care, its your life, all I know is non of my consumer...

    Why does laser light look like little particles moving about?

    Hmm I have always referred to it as a speckle pattern on object the laser hits, and as a sparkle pattern from the beam in the air. :P

    FRYING a camcorder

    Ever here of a pellet gun? so he has proof? What he going to sue you? 445nm lasers aimed at them for a few minutes would make them never work again but you would need a good focus and tri-pod, a rock is cheaper. I would knock on his door and calmly tell him he has a choice, he can move his spy...

    Most hostile forum i've ever seen

    You do not get around forums much if this is the most hostile, some vets here are trolls, being the internet all is normal, you want to see hostile go to D3 forums:P Most of the trolling has to do with the fact that most vets here would rather you take the time to read whats up before you ask...

    Can a 500mW Blue Laser cause cancer ?

    I would think the primary concern would be the possible chemical changes that could result in cellular damage. Blue light has been shown to be possible to cause cell damage and there for it could, though the odds are unknown to me, cause cancer. There are more ways than ionizing radiation to get...

    Busted for shining laser at aircraft

    Pointing a laser at an aircraft is not 1 but 3 charges, and all of them add up to about 25 years in prison, I am very careful when using lasers outside,a very high profile aircraft flies over me, I would be facing time in a grave if I hit the wrong aircraft, also AH64d pilots would not be happy...

    Infrared lasers are not dangerous as they say?

    Near Infrared Laser radiation in the near-infrared region of the spectrum aprox 700-1400nm is absorbed primarily within the retina. An ideal eye can focus a collimated near-infrared beam by as much as 100,000 times. This portion of the spectrum is a very dangerous area. The eye will...

    What do you make of this on TV??!?!

    I think its dumb that one chunk of matter discriminates on another chunk of matter made by the same exploded stars. IMO I do not know what to think of that though, other than its bad. Racism is fear manifested.

    Best 1000mw green laser pointer for the money?

    I hate to tell you but its not all that over priced, 1w dpps laser is $$$. Anything over say 300mw in a dpss laser gets pricey very quick. For the sake of asking, why do you want a 1W green laser, I mean other than the holy crap factor.
