pretty cheap if you just want the optics, I have no use for this as it DOES NOT COME WITH THE DIODE
I am using a senkat diode.
A 10k multiturn pot
LM317T + volt Reg
10 OHM resistor 1/2 watt
1N4001 silicone diode
47MFD 35VDC capacitor
two CR2032 energizer batteries each rated for 3v, not used before
And a momentary switch in between
I have an analog multimeter but I cannot get it to work...
I have decided to stop buying parts from retailers and harvest them out of old useless electronics.
My first will be an external power supply to a broken cannon printer. I posted this in troop321's topic but decided to make my own thread and include all of my harvests'.
I did some searching...
I took apart my <5mw pet toy laser trying to find a poteniometer... it did not have one... I did find a VERY weird diode however...
Here is the circuit board
What happens if only one person bids on this for like a dollar... LOL... any ways.... just wanted to share if anyone is looking for a bluray burner! I am watching this item, if it stays pretty low I may bid on it...
Does anyone here have a PS3??? If so what is your PSN name? If we have enough members maybe we can get a f@h team going or something.
Anyways if there is anyone else here active on PSN my name is spinout059. Just be sure to let me know that your from here in you invite ;D
I bought some goggles off of there christmas eve and received them the day after christmas, they work flawlessly. Now I am considering buying a stand and some optics... Good/bad decission? And what abotu the lasers they sell?

I'm a bit worried about how this laser will perform...
does anyone know what the specs for a diode like this would be?
And I haven't ever harvested so I'm a bit worried there to... Is there a good tutorial thread somewhere around...
I have just fried my THIRD diode in a minimag.... wow.... I cannot believe my level of stupidity.... This time it was because of the diode slipping in and out... :-[ When are BlueFusions drivers going to be done >:( And now I have no diodes left to fry so this will be my last as I have another...

Tell me what you think of this one!
If you guys could do me a huge favor....
Rate my video a high rating (3 or above)
If it gets 20,000 veiws and has a steady rating of 3 stars or higher then I start getting paid $5 for...
I have a broken anode and a broken case pin, I have the can opened successfully but have no idea what to do from here, the anode looks too small to solder.... any help?
I have two diodes that i had in minimag flashlights and while focusing the positive and negative pins touched.... i got smoke and burning smell and now they will not work the same,..... they will put out an ETREMELY low amount of light.... You would think I would have learned my lesson after the...

My God!!! 12,000lb!
What exactly is a chemical laser anyways?
Ahhhhh if only we could get a group buy one one of these .... :P sigh..... :'(
Got it working, it will only burn balloons and electric tape though. It is a SenKat. Is the a way that I can make it burn other things? Pics or video coming soon!
I was soldering to the pins of my diode and accidentaly broke one off... :'( I cannot get the stump of the old one out and cannot solder a new one on. I am a noob and have no idea what to do in a situation like this. If you need pics I can post them.
