    If I point a 1W 445nm directly in my eyes how much time will cause damage?

    it depends, my theory is light will bend, I am not sure the angle becuase of the spectrum, this will not let the laser hit your eye dead center instead it will make a tiny cone shape in your eye, and instantly fry anything slightly dark like your retina, then again I don't want to test it. We...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    you are smoking rocks dude. I would not call some one ignorant when you are on a laser forum talking about blinding ppl. I carried am M16 in Iraq they have bad neighborhoods, and you are saying because murder is one of the least likely ways to die, that ppl should keep a weapon in case they win...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    lol on a photonic disruptor, though, I seem to remember a strobe light I used to replace on a ah54d, would blind the hell out of some one at 6' powering it would be difficult, but would love to see one in a mag light with a good reflector. I have had someone turn them on while I was installing...

    wow did he get banned just for that insult to you Cyparagon? or did I miss the real fun :P His comment about being dumb if directed at me would have produced chuckles, its like saying "I am not immature, you are, you poo poo head". :D = :banned:

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    I got hit by lightning, your point, I am not worried about it happening again, or was I worried that it was going to happen, all I am saying is random ppl don't break into a house and shoot ppl for no reason, but anything could happen. I don't sweat it, and ppl that need weapons to feel safe are...

    My blue 445/447nm laser is extremely dim now

    did you say you tap it and it gets brighter, it could be driver shorting and or a tail switch issue. I have had tons of lasers I had to tap to get to work, replacing the clicky seems to fix it 70% of the time. not saying reaplace the switch first, you should learn to trouble shoot it with a DIMM...

    Simple way to measure laser power

    "Using a thermopile sensor is a very robust and well established way to measure laser energy. The underlying principle is quite simple: it uses some thermocouples to measure the temperature gradient between the point where the laser beam hit the thermopile and the periphery where the heat is...

    Lazerer Beginner Goggles

    I use all my lasers without googles to veiw the beam, OUTSIDE but indoors you will need to construct a beam stop if using class 3-4 lasers. The goggles are needed to see the dot, on most lasers, as the reflected light overloads your eyes, kinda like how you cannot make out the details of the...

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    I have lived in a crap load of bad neighborhoods, because mostly I am single and rent is cheap, never once had someone break into my house, my theory why break in if you live in the ghetto, its not like their is much to rob. Plus the bonus is if I want I have access to the black market, I can...

    After focusing "Whiskers"

    his raw output looks right to me, its a cross between a || and a (), I would say he got a bad lens though I am still trying to replicate his output by changing g1 lens around, but no luck yet. Did you have a custom spacer or nut holding you lens close to the window, G2 and G1 lenses sit closer...

    Good Laser for FUN?

    hmm lasers are fun, I would say most lasers can blind giving bad luck or bad practices, I prefer to see a huge honking bright beam to let me know where I don't want to be. I think you could a get a decent 100mw green or perhaps a 1w blue for a hundred buck give or take, 100 bucks is like 300mw...

    My First Laser Blue 445mm 1.2watt

    I like the nice round dot on it for a mutli mode it cleaned up nice though I do see some spash a few feet below the dot. Did you use a 3 element lens or a g1 g2 lens.

    Elements and metals group buy?

    I agree I have always wanted a collection of all the elements and a display for them grouping them like the table of elements, I am waiting for one of you folks to make a laser diode out of a vacuum tube and some indium or something odd.:thinking:

    Lasers as a Weapon?

    What does your friend own worth someones eyes, or life for that matter. a cell phone makes a good weapon if someone is breaking in dial 911. Besides whats the worse that could happen, tell your "friend" to grow a pair :P don't be all scared of folks, and remember, keep you nose clean and it...
