Wow, I never knew sound waves exhibited wave particle duality.

If you aim at white paper it will reflect. Try aiming it at black pasticm black garbage works good too, start about a foot away then slowly move back.

Wow! Really cool. That white does look really nice.

I noticed in your picture you are using a 9V battery. That won't have enough current, unless it's for a Blu-ray.

Ok thanks you two for the replies. I think you did send me that resistor Jay, I think I put it in my parts box thinking it was the one I usually cut off the MXDLs. I'm sure I can find it though. Thanks!

You can order most of it online if you search, or www.ebay.com

OK, I have made many standard DDL circuits and they hace all worked fine, even for the blu-rays. But I mostly just built them exactly as stated. Now I got a long open can from TheMonk and a Jayrob heatsink and want to crank up the current. So I thought by adding another 10 ohm resistor to the...

Re: FS "L Open Can" modules  >Sold< I bought one of these because I didn't want my wife to see another Newegg box arriving. I am good at extracting the diodes and am good at soldering, but TheMonk is better. The whole assembly is really nice, the leads soldered on are really nice and much...

Re: FS "L Open Can" modules I'll take that last one if you take paypal/google checkout. I don't feel like having my wife yell at me if any more Newegg boxes come for me. "How many DVD burners can you possibly need?!???!!"

In case you have trouble finding them there, by mine they are a little hard to find, right when you walk in where there are all the batteries, and memory cards, etc, they were down low, under a table with the big cases of alkaline AA and AAAs.

Hmmmm,,, think I may have to stop at Big 5 or Sports Authority on the way home and see if they have those. Looks too cool to not try out... THanks for sharing!

Also if you live by a Costco, or go to Costco.com they have the Eneloop kit. Comes with like 8 AAs, 8 AAAs, the charger and converters to make the AAs into C and D cells, all in a little case for I think $23. That way you have them for other things around the house.

Hello, welcome. Please go to Experiments section, and at the top in the stickies, there is a thread called THreads Of Interest. Read all of those threads of interest. Most questions you have or will have will be answered in those.

Really nice work Jake. Your work keeps getting better and better! Yeah I love firing the BRs into different things. Green plastic toys, radiator coolant, drops of olive oil on a CD, etc.

Nice. This looks really well done BTW, nice job. I will keep a lookout for the for sale post in the future and would be interested in a few.

Go to the bookstore and look for those " Projects for the Evil Genius" series of books. I know I have seen one of them that had one in there. Shows all schematics, how-tos, list of parts, and they sell most of the kits and or parts on their website, amazing1.com. For example...

Is that current regualting or just voltage?

Well the Sony Opti Arc that everybody is getting from Newegg are rebadged Lite-ons. (you can tell the quality when you open one) I can actually unscrew the 4 cover screws then rip the rest apart with my bare hands and extract the diode in about 10 seconds with a razor knife. THE best diode I...

Funny thing about this forum is when I joined I was just interested in making a burning red laser. I had basic knowledge of what resistors and capacitors did, but bare bones knowledge. Witht he help of many people here I have learned so much and have become interested and fascinated with things...

Sounds really exciting. Enjoy Santa Barbara, it's amazingly beautiful there. I live in SoCal and can never leave. Anywhere I go I can't wait to get back. I can't afford to live in Santa Barbara due to the average home costing 3 million, but even where I live is still pretty nice. I hope you like...
