I have a RF CO2 laser I'd like to sell that I had purchased here on this board a couple of years ago in a group buy that was done by Chris Leubner (not sure if he is still around here today or what his board name is). It is essentially as it was the day I took it out of the package, and it...

Someone just e-mailed me this - http://inoyan.narod.ru/kaleidoskop.swf - move your cursor over it to change the image. Time to put on some Jimmy Hendrix or something! Would make an interesting screensaver for sure!

A couple of weeks ago I purchased one of the lasers Wannaburn had for sale in this thread (http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/sale-3-mode-445nm-200mw-1-1w-heavy-pix-video-63308.html). I hadn't been around the forums for a very long time and upon my return I had discovered that 445nm had become...

I found this blog post about the history of laser and ray guns in science fiction writing and film (and how well - or not, they compare to the real thing), all the way from H.G. Wells to the present. There's also a cool vid of a US Navy laser (not sure if this has been posted elsewhere as I...

Just wanted to say hello again (to those "old timers" who remember me) and hello to those who don't. I've been absent for far too long and glad to be back!

Unfortunately you can't read the main article here unless you are a subscriber (or buy the magazine on a news stand, which is what I intend to do soon!) but there are a couple of articles that are posted online for anyone to read: I am of course talking about the 50th anniversary of the very...

I'm sure this has been posted on around here before in the past, but this particular link has some interesting information on wavelength and other peramaters: Boeing Completes Preliminary Design of 100 Kilowatt Free Electron Laser Weapon System and Eventually Megawatt Class Lasers Another...

Found this article a few minutes ago, a brief history of the development of the laser (incidentally it's 50th anniversary will soon be upon us!) from Baylor University in Texas. Baylor University || The Lariat Online || News "Some colors that correspond to waves are easier to get," Olafsen...

U.S. Army Selects Northrop Grumman's 100kW Solid-State Laser for Field Tests at Its High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility Who wouldn't want to see some burning action from a 100KW DPSS laser?!?!

I made a video of some still images I took of several of my lasers shining on these huge icicles that are hanging off my back porch (405nm, 660nm and 532nm, some mixed together): YouTube - lasers in ice.avi

I don't think this has been posted before - most laser "dazzlers" are greenies but this is a RGB to foil any anti-laser eye wear: Allvoices.com - External Link

I meant to post this last night but I swear it took forever to upload it and for it to show up on Youtube. Even the extra hour didn't help.....but anyway, here it is - the only thing is my time tunnel flickers because of the camera - it looks perfectly smooth to the eye but the camera sees it...

Here's my time tunnel setup I've rigged for Halloween night in my garage. It's rather jury-rigged but still gets the job done. At first I used one of my 488nm argons (one's a single line, one's a multi, but in this use it really doesn't make a difference) and a 150mw 660nm module. Well, the...

Video of laser weapon fired from airplane - Boing Boing Not quite as destructive-looking as we've been lead to believe - the Advanced Tactical Laser (the lower-powered cousin to the Airborne Laser that is supposed to hit ground targets rather than missiles) is shown (supposedly it's hitting the...

I have a customer who wants me to make him a custom set of glowing LED-lit eyes for a taxidermy mount he is doing, which I told him I could do. He also is requesting that these eyes be turned on/off with a motion detector of some sort, or "motion activated" as he put it. Here are a couple of...
