isnt that how all green lasers are made? i dont think there is an actual green laser. its just an ir going through a crystal and outputting green. it would probably be the cheapest way to get a high powered green laser. you could probably do this yourself for around $60 rather than buying one...

figured id post a schematic for my psu in case anybody wanted to try to make it. not sure what the amperage output is. voltage is from 3-13 or something. i dont recall where the scribbles came from but theyre in pen so i couldnt remove them

did you even look at those pictures before you uploaded them?

i vary my voltage from 3 volts, for long lasing, to 4.5v, for burning. my psu does have some broken wires or something where sometimes just touching a knob will briefly cut the power.. this wasnt about the type of supply though. im just saying its possible to use a socket without frying the...

http://home.cogeco.ca/~rpaisley4/PSupply.html the one i use is similar to the test bench circuit. including the transformer it would be about the size of a lantern battery.

cant help but hate andy just a little bit. havent really seen a a lot of white beams.. it just looks weird. but in a good way

i have 2 knobs to change the voltage and amperage independently. the voltage is adjusted with a trimpot so i can have any output i want, and the amperage is controlled with a radial switch which lets me choose between 5 predefined settings. im waiting for my green and blue in the mail. i want to...

car? sounds like a battery pack from an r/c hobby shop.. pretty sure i see 12v 1500ma+ all the time.

its regulated pretty good. without load i measured 3.08v and with load it was 3.08. the power supply isnt what this is about though. people are saying under no circumstance are you to use a socket. im just saying i have no problems with it, even with my carelessness. in the event i do fry a...

if everyone believed what everyone else said and didnt try things for themselves wed still be wearing chainmail and burning witches. ive been using a socket for over a month with a single ld and it seems everything people say "dont do, it will kill your diode" has done absolutely nothing to my...

50v 10uf. 3-4.75v input. every diode is different is like saying every resistor is different. tolerance may not always be the same but for the most part they will be identical. each piece will be tested to ensure it meets certain standards or it will be rejected. most manufacturing plants have...

Re: cool effect with glass rod (Green to red & Bac grab some highlighters, remove the ink sponges, and stick them in a jar of water. then while lasing through that hold a black light near it :P

i used a random cap that i grabbed from my pile, a diode, 2x10ohm resistors, and my volt/amp regulated psu i made in grade 12. its an awkward setup and i tug on it all the time and the ld pops out or the wires will come out of the breadboard.. i really doubt 1 ld would be any less likely to be...

well you can take it apart and look at it or grab a webcam or something that can capture ir light (point a tv remote at it and press buttons and see if you can see the ir) even with an ir filter there is a chance you will see some ir, it will just be significantly reduced. some people put in a...

not sure. my package is now showing up in my country "International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs". its in vancouver. 5 hour drive from where i live. ive seen that it should take around 5 days for it to clear customs. i ordered several things at once so hopefully they...

a 5mw driver could power a 250mw laser but it would probably only output 5mw still. there is lots of info for this on the forum already you can use math to find an approximate theoretical value or you can buy a power meter or send the laser to someone to have it tested for power.

i have been using a socket to put one of my lasers in a breadboard for over a month, it has come out many times while power was running and i plugged it back in without turning the power off. after a month it still works just as it did when i first got it.

all i know is that when they are holding something for release (requires payment) they will contact you. from what ive heard if they seize something you wont get any notification.
