Thanks for the response. I wanted circular because it would cover the entirety of the fan blades without having the gaps caused by using a square mirror. I got some fans at a surplus store and they are relatively easy to control the speed on (Using a resistor) and are actually reversible. Im...
I have seen the white fusion kit and i was planning on using it for when I build my "non practice" one. I have a Joann's near me as well and last time i went there to look all i found was oval shaped doll house mirrors. Ill check again.
I have been trying to decide whether i should build a Spirograph (which is cheaper) or a Scanner (which has more functionality). I am also trying to find affordable dichros for my RGB system.
These by no means are going to be professional grade systems. It's going to be my first try at...
I would look at this post as far as glasses go. http://laserpointerforums.com/f65/445nm-goggles-51711.html
The goggles listed seem cheap but have a high shipping cost.
As far as power goes as long as he is responsible and has glasses and isn't playing "burn the neighbor kids" i'm not too...
This video is very in depth for the laser path. I wish they would have added a little more of the science into the amplification and conversion into ultraviolet. Thanks again for posting this!
If your planning on something of that power I would highly suggest getting him some protective glasses as well unless he has some. Would hate to be the guy with everything except his own eyesight.
safety first, then comes research on what your getting yourself into, and once you have finished all of that you can look into buying them. A friend of mine thought he could just use sunglasses with his 50 mw green and lost much of the vision in his left eye when it bounced off a mirror.
so the 8x diode in that sled is worse than the 6x? For the prices listed are any of them truly worth buying and using at higher powers than the standard PHR?
Yeah, i was hoping someone would also be able to figure that out as well. For about $45-50 on a 8x i would think that something would be a little off...
I'm wondering if these seem to be a good deal for a higher power laser.
