    3x2x0.25 Battery?

    For those wondering, the approximate normal dimensions are: 6x50x76 (6.35x50.8x76.2mm according to google, rounded down) The theoretical designation for this lipoly would be 605076. best of luck on your search. Remember, higher power cells will often have lower capacity, if both take up same...

    Charging problem

    Also, the standard cheap charging chip blinks red until charged, at which point, solid green. If you have a voltmeter, it might be worth while to monitor the cell when using that free charger. Anything higher than 4.2V across the battery, then remove power and wait until better charger shows...

    I dont even know what to think [Suggested 18+]

    If you don't have a camera, you might as well fork over your rights up front.

    Saw a tank on the back of a truck today

    We have enough members to be a small town. What say the Vets become this town's police department and we get us an LPF tank?

    35/55/75W HID help

    I don't have any experience with this light at all, but one trick often used for unlocking or switching mode groups is pressing a power button off and on really qucikly a certain number of times. Probably not the best idea for an HID if it tries to ignite every time, so this may not be it, but...

    OPEN SOURCE: The "Heavy Load" - REALLY high current (10 Amp) test load

    I demand knife switch for jumper, and 4 AWG wire with banana plugs for ammeter connection. DO IT NAO! Nah, I kid. Cool project, though. I like the thought of using a piece of open source equipment that has been "group-thunk" rather than something made by one person.

    Heat relationship.

    HyperPhysics Concepts < good starting point for learning very basic principles You will likely be combining several equations, many of which will involve numbers that you will have no real way of determining. For instance, what is the emissivity of an unknown aluminum alloy MCPCB with white...

    Laser Hula Hoop

    I think downward facing beams would be cool, if anything. Inward facing, alignment is critical, and if you are off by a degree or two, it would overshoot the other side of the hoop and, at times, shoot outward again. Even with downward facing lasers, it would still would be best to stick...

    diffraction experiments

    Even with low power lasers, this would be a good time to practice safe usage. Goggles, or at least, knowing to use goggles before activate laser. Stable, level mounts at waist level, never eye level. Be careful of shiny things like jewelry and watches, they could redirect an otherwise safe...

    SOLD! 2x Kryton Grooves for 55 Shipped

    Re: PREPARED Kyrton Grooves! 30/ea! Was gonna say, how did these not get picked up yet?! Grooves are an empty canvas, and would be very fun to anodize a custom color, apply glowyness, etc.

    FLIR just got affordable

    Maybe they're in the "Sell it for a lot while we still can" phase of this sensor.. It is a nifty toy, but kinda pricy. You might could get the same amount of resolution by using your finger to touch things in a grid pattern :na:

    LPF briefly mentioned in article about latest incident

    Heh, that snipped quote makes it sound like we're threatening to kill anybody who uses a laser for such purposes. That their family members may turn up missing or something. Still, glad to see that someone reporting that we very much dislike when an irresponsible punk reflects poorly on our...

    Green laser losing power after 1 sec.

    If you shine it through a lens onto a wall, do you see the pattern change, or does it simply dim? Like the others, I'm more inclined to blame the battery. efest IMR16340 from a trusted vendor should fix you right up. Trusted vendor because efests have been tested, but if there are efest...

    Juice, ultrafire, gtl?

    It depends on what you need the battery to do. Some li-ion cells have great capacity, some can crank out the current, but you have to choose, you can't have your cake and eat it too :-( keep in mind, also, CR123a is a primary, non-rechargable lithium cell, where-as its rechargeable li-ion...

    Led laser?

    The goal is to use as big of a lens as you can without having the focal length be so large that it doesn't collect light from the LED. The smaller the optical source is, relative to the size of the lens, the more control you will have over where the light from that source goes. You will notice...

    Charger that Analyses Cell Quality

    Ooops, sorry, I meant to ask if it is the same one as the one in the HKJ link I linked to earlier >.< Review of Charger LiitoKala Lii-260
