EDIT: ok I am an idiot. I figured out how to actually USE the radioshack multimeter. It's showing 3.9 amps being drawn. The battery is halfway discharged. I forgot to put it in my charger today.

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host You wouldn't be able to get enough current for that out of a 10440. The downside to this host is the smaller battery capacity. 10440 is a AAA sized battery. I'm not quite certain what the upper limit for current on one is. But it's well below putting out...

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host I defiantly could make an 18650 host in silver. The problem is the sheer cost of that much silver is going to be in the $175-$225 price range just for me purchasing the silver to make it with (estimating around 7 troy ounces or so for the silver. Current...

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host hmm. I would prefer to cast it up directly from your coins if you would want to go that route. However if you really want I could trade for this host and simply make another. On the coins, are they 1 troy oz or 1 avoir oz? troy ounces are 31.1035 grams...

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host It requires a module. As for how much silver. final piece has 84 grams of silver in it. There is some waste in cleaning up, as well as leftover metal in the form of a sprue button. If you want to supply your own silver, as I don't know what the content...

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host Sterling silver, so .925 silver (92.5% silver 7.5% other in this case it's pretty much 7.5% copper) The non silver components are the tail switch, the aixiz lens nut, and a short thin plastic sheath that's inside at the back to keep the battery from wiggling...

That's not too far from Layton. About 40 min drive. We might have to get together and hang out a bit, or else perhaps I can send this host up your way via mail. As it's part of my halloween costume it will have to wait till at least next week of course. Ah, when I said "power output" I...

Re: FS: sterling silver 10440 host Yes I do. I work for an online jewelry manufacturer. one of the fringe benefits is the chance to use the equipment for personal projects. Yes it does. However that's a double edged sword. It can dissipate heat faster then other metals. However it can...

Ok I've got another 10440 host ready for sale. I've got the inside diameter down for press fitting a aixiz module in. There should be no need for any spacing foil in this one. The stone in the end is a blue sapphire. Though in this picture the blue doesn't show up as well. Upon request I can...

It's got an 18650 in it. As for power hungry, most definitely. However the power output is great On the subject of beam shots, not as easy for me. The only decent camera setup I have access to is one at work. And that's not one I can just take anywhere to take some good beamshots. I...

Agreed on the love to have on part. though since rather then list a price in the catalogs, Rio Grande has it listed as "call for pricing" makes me more then a little paranoid about the price. I've wondered more then a few times if the SSY1 laserheads could be adapted into putting out that...

I used the equipment at my work to cast it. :D thanks for the praise. Sadly I've not had time to finish the steampunk goggles I am working on so my halloween costume this year will be incomplete :(

I was soldering on a ring at work, really felt a sneeze coming on. So I pull the torch off the ring and aim it up into the air for a second. Takes a moment but the sneeze comes out, and I realized I had leaned forward with the sneeze. The torch was in my left hand, aimed up and right. The...

it is a Nd:YAG laser. here's an example of one PulsePoint Average power is 75 watts on this one however this next one is 30 watts average. keep in mind both have pulse powers in the kW range, meaning not an easy thing to build for yourself. PulsePoint You would need a decent binocular...

Definitely a one of a kind piece. I don't regularly make knives. The edges are sharp enough to sharpen fully if I chose, but at the moment they are less sharp then they could be. It's a display piece, so I don't want it too sharp.

Hows this for a steampunk host. Sorry my photography skills seriously suck. It's got a 445 diode in it. I've got two microboosts in parallel at 800ma each so feeding it 1600ma. cast the pieces in bronze. though there are a few copper pieces as well.

ok have to add my own "knife" I made this almost 10 years back so it's some of my earlier work. I didn't do the laser etching on the blade. I had it done for me. Ironically long before I got into lasers. but it's somehow more appropriate these days. The runes on the blade read Tviskipting...

try aiming on the wax at the base of the wick then move the beam up the wick slightly. I've had some luck this way in lighting them. A candle isn't burning the wick it's burning the wax, so you need to get some wax liquefied or at least warmed up somewhat.

The purpose of the lens in your eye is to focus incoming light to a point on your retina. If your eye doesn't focus properly (nearsighted or farsighted) corrective lenses will simply adjust the focal point back to your retina where it should be. End result of hitting someone in the eyes...

on the topic of eye conditions making you more susceptible to damage. An old co-worker of mine has a blind spot in one of his eyes from a laser. It was a normal over the counter laser pointer from back in the early 90s. Probably wouldn't have done anything. Except he has type 1 diabetes and...
