And I suppose you've always wanted to use that emoticon...:p JK Let's just say that it is occasionally good for the... well... everything. (head, body, soul, etc.) No, really, I don't think people can really stand me sometimes, hell, I cant stand myself (but I have to live with myself) and so I...

Meatball, you are almost psychic with that thought. One of the most important things I have been pondering is the solar charging system. I'm thinking of something like this: Solar Panel Kit - Save on this 45 Watt Solar Panel Kit <it's a link, it just doesn't look like one for some reason along...

Freakin' nice!! Good luck with the gear, I look forward to seeing every damn dancing digit emitting photons (tried, but couldn't think of more dee's) Sorry I couldn't help with the subject of the OP, but good luck with that as well. I'll be paying attention.

Not to change the subject, but.... What the heck are you making with the glove? THATS' what I want to know!?!

In about 3 weeks I will be going 'back into the wild' What I mean by that is living in the mountains, in a tent, in the snow. My only companion a four-legged creature called a dog. For the next 6 months. This won't be my first time doing this, but it will be my first time doing this only...

Good idea azzman372. Here is my exact coordinates as of this moment 39.90389 N ,105.02863 W Or, if you'd rather zip code 80031 Just look for the laser beam pointed to the stars, (as long as there aren't any aircraft around) Or listen for the swearing. (d@*n broken photon emitter, WORK!)...

OK, got it taken care of! (how do I change the title of thread? or do I need to?) :confused: By taken care of, I mean I no longer need the modules. Sorry for the vagueness.

Lol, gotcha! Burning out expensive diodes? Just did 3 myself. All at once! Hey, if you don't have a sense of humor when it comes to lasers, it won't take long before you have an aneurysm.

I do remember Tyrian, good stuff. Forgive the grouchy post of mine, just being jealous since I don't have a rig I can play the games most often mentioned here. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way talking sh#*, just poking fun. By the way, Fallout? Yeah, I can honestly say that I played the...

These diodes, in my experience, can take a couple amps for a bit of time without being destroyed. From the diffraction pattern, (looks kinda like a fresnel lens), my best guess would be some sort of optic damage, whether it be on the die, window, or lens. Just my 2 cents. (conversion rate...

OK, BF3 may be not much more than a rehash of BF2, but... damn you guys and your PC standards :scowl::D I like it. Now, you wanna talk classic? Bard's Tale Wizardry ONE! Is my age showing?

Thanks for the quick reply kiyoukan. Let me give it just a few more hours and see if I get a reply, since overnighting can definately be 'premium'. Don't get me wrong, I will probably be contacting you this evening. +1 for 'good lookin-out'

Anyone in the Denver area have 3 Aixiz module available? I'll pay premium prices if you have them today or tomorrow. See my other posts if you'd like to know what prompted this. :banghead: Idiot :banghead: Idiot :banghead: Idiot

I don't know about silicon wafers, but in my experience using HDD platters as mirrors, they tend to exhibit a bit of grating(?) effect. So, not a perfect mirror. Now, this use was over tens of meters, but for short distances, they may be nearly perfect.

Well, that photo I posted earlier in this thread, the Before photo, that's the kind. Also a lot of similar stuff with the 405nm. But I'd bet that the majority of the damage done to my vision was the 445nm (like the photo) and playing around with the first commonly available burning lasers, the...

Lol, thank you, Somedude. (I know you were serious saying that, worse, I don't know why I 'lol'd')

OK, fair enough in your situation, Somedude. I don't have any fault with that, how could I? :beer:

(Disclaimer: I haven't read through this entire thread, but I did search for some key words) OK, It's here now! Yippeee! Battlefield 3. 2 was fantastic, 3 is simply amazing. And I'm just talking PS3 here. My PC would have a hard time playing The Bard's Tale (for all you old enough to...

And to be honest, mirrors can be a lot safer than diffusive surfaces, you know where the beams gonna end up, and very little diffused brightness. But this isn't why I started the thread. I am just trying to get across the point that lasers CAN do permanent damage, but that it isn't likely the...

I wouldn't necessarily call it shallow, though that is definitely how it can feel when you are the new kid on the block. It is all for a good cause though.:beer:
