    Zeus, Military laser

    Because you can still target materials with one. Incidentally quite a wide number of american military enlisted and officers are under the impression that .50 cal BMG sniper rifles like the Barrets and such being "anti-material" can't be used to target human personnel. However, they tell...

    Man Died By Laser

    Hey, how do you know the CIA actually DIDN'T assassinate JFK? Umm he's dead isn't he? Seriously though, they tried how many times to assassinate both Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein. Every single one ended in failure. Even down to a poisoned wetsuit for Castro.... But seriously though, as...

    12x BR DIODES

    I'm not sure. Without a LPM I can't measure the power output, and the host I have it in doesn't leave any way to check the current at the diode. I could always check the power from the battery, but that wouldn't help much I think.

    Getting the most out of your heatsink?

    Thought I would resurrect this old thread to add some info. I have tried the silver foil to improve contact between the aixiz module and my heatsink. It works quite wonderfully. I ordered it from the seller I linked to above. It's nice and annealed. It's more soft then teflon tape and I had...

    12x BR DIODES

    Finally finished my sterling silver host, with a 12x diode from the BDR-205bk. I got the flexdrive preset to 380ma and I took care to avoid even touching the pot in any way. I'm really impressed at how fast it burns even focused to infinity!! I've not yet tried any focused to a pinpoint...

    Your IQ?

    Lol fair enough.

    Your IQ?

    Lol I have to point out, it's entirely possible for the results of a voluntary test of students to be skewed. You could have factors of how they propose it that will either make some people less likely to take it, or more likely to take it. Scenerio #1. "All students who wish to take this...

    Anyone else into homemade Ballistics\Pyrotechnics?

    Lol I remember much fun with a spud gun :D, but the most fun I had with it, required a change of ammo. You need a smaller piece of pvc pipe that fits just inside your barrel. Take a potato, and cut a small slice, then tap that small slice in with the pipe you have no. (the pipe is needed to...

    Is the universe infinite or finite?

    Sorry for the sarcasm. :D I was thinking that since this thread invariably will be more along the lines of "what do you personally believe the universe is," makes it fit in almost with the religion thread....... As it all comes down to a matter of personal belief.

    Is the universe infinite or finite?

    Actually, I'm pretty certain that virtually all theorys of the big bang absolutely require that space-time can expand faster then the speed of light. (inflation) As the universe had to expand faster to account for the current observed state to evolve. EDIT: As a side note. PROOF that the...

    Is the universe infinite or finite?

    Ok, as more then one person has already stated, The question is too vague. How does one define the universe, and in what dimension are you attempting to verify infinity? You could make a case for infinite empty void with no matter, encompassing a finite amount of matter, thus having an...

    What do you do for a living

    I manufacture jewelry for an online retailer/wholesaler. Mostly fantasy replica oriented pieces, as well as custom pieces.

    Some sort of diffraction grating?

    only downside is the dots are spaced about the same as in the KES sled. But then, every diffraction grating is much brighter in the center, getting progressively dimmer the farther out you go. It's just a matter of if it works for your purposes or not.

    Red / IR Combo Diode From Poineer BDR-205 12x Sled

    The IR and red wouldn't focus quite the same. But it would have to be much much closer then even the violet and red people tried to do from the PS3 diodes. I wonder if it would be "close enough" Hmm. Would be fun to try, even if it burned up early.

    Some sort of diffraction grating?

    As a side note, I have experimented and found optics in at least 3 sleds that do a row of dots. I know for certain there is such an optic in the KES-400A sled (ps3) as it was the first sled I messed around with. I have also experimented with the LG 8x Bd-r sled. as well as lpc-815 and ggw...

    Anyone else into homemade Ballistics\Pyrotechnics?

    Meh, nothing is legal when used for that purpose. With the current state of affairs in this wonderful rights infringed upon country of the USA, why the fascist commie bastards have actually made it illegal to actually blow anything up!!!! the horror! the horror! Lighting off an actual m-80...

    12x Murder Fund! + Graph!

    Re: 12x Murder Fund! (Complete!) Ok, So with the second 12x murder experiment going to happen at some point, what will the output be set to? Is this even close to decided? If it's done by a vote, then mine would be a conservative vote to set it to the same power output as the second 8x...

    Pink Laser 500mW

    The point is kind of that black is the absence of all visible light (in the ultimate sense) So a laser beam in the DI conditions, wouldn't stop other light. the visible effect would only appear black in a black room, which wouldn't really accomplish anything you couldn't already accomplish by...

    impossible black laser?..

    Lol I had forgotton this thread existed for over a week :D I have to respond to this to clarify what I ment. Yes I meant Dark Energy by saying "negative energy" I chose a different way to explain it for several reasons, mostly because it seemed the best way to get my point across without...

    Anyone else into homemade Ballistics\Pyrotechnics?

    Meh, Be careful before you start messing around with this stuff. As I posted in another thread recently, Explosive making is bad news, esp if you get caught. A little over 10 years ago, I was having some fun with some modified fireworks. I simply tweaked existing ones to make one big...
