    Optical Illusions

    My monitor is a 25" 250ish asus, it looks fine, however it has a dithering issue that helps me see illusions, I cannot even go to netflix without notice non-moving objects that move, though I have never seen 3d work for me, I tried shutter glasses, movie glasses, even had the VR glasses from...

    World's Most Powerful Laser

    Whats interesting in high energy physics, like this and all the other big ones, most of the funding is DOD. So so a proton beam, a huge mega laser, a huge electrical discharge machine. Unlocking fusion tech and finding bosons or...making some weapon platform powered by fusion with pulse lasers...

    Think I killed my laser

    I would say it sounds bad but, you should isolate the driver from the host and see if it works and test your driver output. I say this because your diode may just not be getting the power.

    I want copper copper copper! (well... maybe not)

    So gold electroplated on copper is ideal? then if you wanted to go overboard just a tad? how thick do you need the plating?

    unless testing them destructively, I would not hit goggles with a laser :P

    new here hello

    a good laser depends on what you want to brun and how far away you want to burn, any laser focused at 200mw is an ok burner though, you can burn with less though, and a 1w laser burns even better, are you sure you want green?

    I want copper copper copper! (well... maybe not)

    TIM is not that good unless it has no air bubbles and is not to think though, a really thin soft layer of metal maybe though, anyone try ahahahh whats it called that metal foil I see on ebay that is very very soft at room temp, and cost a ton. they use it in MRI and some sensors that are...

    can photons lose energy to anything?

    I agree with that and I think I have learned a bit form this topic thanks :P Its nice to have conversations about this, try talking to my buds about lasers or physics and they just kinda want you to stop, so its hard to find folks that find the same topics interesting:tinfoil: Our world view is...

    Laser melted safetey goggles

    its normal but shows they are working, if our googles don't reflect the laser and don't let it pass they must absorb it, be hard to find something made from plastic that could take the energy of your laser and absorb the energy as heat, and not start to melt.

    I want copper copper copper! (well... maybe not)

    it comes down to mass and $$$ and the amount of heat we move is less than I could care about, if you use the right amount of aluminium to match the copper 's mass you get a huge heat-sink. We need airflow gentlemen to see any benefit for copper, even then its small, copper it corrodes and work...

    new here hello

    I would like if it was legit, but if you told me cni had a hand held 1000mw small handheld, I would not believe it so I have no idea how that laser could possible be in spec and for that price, I would not believe that if I were you I would bet its 200mw. I may be wrong, but, 1000 would take a...

    new here hello

    It looks like a very nice laser, its more than I would pay to get 100mw of green, its worth it in most likely, I would not buy that for my first laser, but I am kinda of cheap, and its on sale though. So there's that. CNI is know for good lasers and I believe they make that one, and laserglow...

    and the addition starts, I may buy a dpss or build a labby dpss in a few days. It never ends, though I may wait till next month as I also want to pick up a pair of OEM glasses and a new LPM.

    you should pm maze he has a laser form the same guy with the same rating, he may be tell you if its working right, I do not own a 100mw green so its hard for me to tell, I know my lasers burn, but my first laser was a 1.4 or 1.6w 445nm today is the one year anniversary of me and lasers :P or...
