^^^ Hmmm, I had thought about the exact same thing!

Ahhh yes, silly me. :D

The Sith series?! Now there trespassing on MY domain!:eg: All kidding aside, I really can't think of a much more dangerous thing... Some kid is gonna try to play darth mahul, and blind a room full of people! :banghead:

Well if the evidence is not forthcoming, I'm sure ( hope! ) that many will demand it.

+1^^^^ I think they could at least release the so called death photo. And what about the DNA evidence? I would very much like to see this, and I think allot of others want to see it as well! :whistle:

I'm in too, PM sent!

Sounds great to me.... If the details can be worked out!

I think it's interesting that in many of the cave drawings and paintings, as well as many of the surviving figurines from antiquity, that we know these cultures worshiped as " Gods " look very much like the classic grey aliens we see depicted today.:thinking:

Sorry Jake, but I am going to have to bow out of this GB for now. A few unforeseen financial hurdles have come my way! I am probably not out of it forever, but at least for right now. Peace, James

Been interested in lasers since about 79' Mostly started from watching sci fi, like Buck Rodgers and Star Wars ect. Then I saw in the back of a magazine, how to build your very own " Laser pistol " Sent off for the plans, only to realize that it wasn't a " real " laser. :( But it was...

Re: I got dumped on my birthday - appreciate your significant other ^^^^Some good advice here Drew! I too can relate with how you feel. It seems my journey down lovers lane has had more than it's fare share of bumps.:can: It's really strange how two people who have so much in common can grow...

Re: 1.5 Amp 445 Phaser Build... Hello Jay! I had a feeling that you would adapt your Phaser pistol build to 445 sometime:) Looks great, I may have to try the high power laser on a trigger routine!

Very nice Frothy! Those Co2s are way, way cool. I have been looking at those sealed tubed ones for some time now. Those have to be easier, and much less fussy than the flowing gas design:cool: Where did you get the tube? Looks like some I've seen on Ebay.

Epic pics, and repair Sammo! It's really cool to see the guts of one of these diodes. Your skill level is clearly beyond mine as well, +1 for you as well:beer:

That would be Theodor H Maiman. The inventor of the original ruby laser, circa 1960. Something of an under dog, it seems few others thought that you could get synthetic ruby to lase.:rolleyes:

Get well soon John, we wish you the best!

Re: H1600 - Possible higher-powered 445s? Not just a new "model number" this time ;) I thought I remembered reading here sometime ago, that they ( Nichia? ) Had announced the development of a 4 watt diode. Dose anyone remember this?:thinking:

Ahhh, that's a nice find indeed! Maybe I'll be that lucky.:whistle:

Hey Coherent, yes I was aware of that fact;) I was ( am ) hoping I will get lucky in that department! kind of like the box of chocolates syndrome, If I do go this route, I will probably set each one to around 850ma each, giving it no more than 1.7a, hopefully that will keep me out of trouble...

Ok guy's, just an update. This beast of a host arrived yesterday. And I must say I am very impressed! That heat sink is a work of art! And I really like the way it feels, can't wait to build this into ( Hopefully ) a 2 watt build:cool: It looks like there may be enough room on the back side of...
