Surplus Shed Be sure to purchase front surface mirrors to reduce losses across reflections. -Scott

Dunno, that would depend upon the laser. Not all lasers are built with a power supply circuit that includes a current adjustment potentiometer so there'd be nothing to do but actually change a resistor or two inside of the laser. If you open the laser up you may find a potentiometer that you...

Sorry I am actually referring to this type of intensity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics) If you just increase the laser's power by adjusting its current limiting potentiometer you risk damaging it (this is known as a pot mod). It can work but it is hit or miss. Really you'd do...

While I tend to agree with the sentiments expressed by mortuus there are a couple of things that can be tried no matter which kind of laser one might be working with. 1st put the laser down and direct its beam at a stationary black balloon that is at 1 meter distance away or less. With the...

Robert, if nothing materializes out of this then I might still be able to work with you folks though obviously with such short notice it would be as much of a challenge as ever. Obviously, I've already done the testing and verified that this would work given the right set up and know how. -Scott

One of these would likely get the job done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuceDT2R4f4 Direct link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuceDT2R4f4 (For some reason the YT code isn't showing the video on this thread for me.) -Scott

MagnumTV is that you? You folks are really getting a seriously late start on this considering. Best of success on this. -Scott

Macdermot, The laser featured on the Laughing Squid article you had mentioned is a "hot" Jayrob SS C3 kit with a G1 lens (with a Jayrob custom knurled focus ring) and a 12X Blu-ray diode out of a Pioneer BDR-205 Blu-ray drive (though any 12X Blu-ray diode should work more or less equivalently)...

Look's like your were a bit off on your website address there partner: http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/ I found your laser star party page: http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/laserpointers.htm Wow, it sounds like you have been involved in some rather remarkable development projects! You got...

If the laser has a focusing ring on it then focus the light down to a fine point. This will increase its burning potential at the focal point. If there is no focusing ring then find a lens that you can use. Also make sure to have the laser and the target match stay immobile. If either moves...

Super cool but I prefer my beam emitting from the face. :D :gj: :topic: -Scott

OP, sorry to butt-in but a quick message to wannaburn here (seeing as he just posted in this thread today): wannaburn, There may be something wrong with your e-mail. Can you verify that you are receiving my messages? I've sent you three messages since the 9th concerning my order with no...

Well Jetlasers' previous 600mW laser straight from the factory was shown by reginak to peak at 1.2W: http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/jetlasers-pl-c-600mw-green-laser-532nm-1-2w-peak-58209.html Any need for a 3rd party module appears doubtful. Besides, referring to a Jetlasers product that...

I never did get an answer to my question on how you were able to offer to add an internal cooling fan to the laser you offered me. Calling a mash-up of parts a CNI laser though? Really? -Scott

Ginhev123 offered to sell me a "CNI" laser referring to it as a "920mW Green Laser" with the following specs: Expected lifetime: 10,000 hours Transverse mode: TEM00 Battery type: 18650 x 1 Warranty Period: 12 Months (much left on the time) and provided the following image link...

Thank you for your responses. 4 business days. The previous response was in less than 1 day. Thank you, I'll try reaching out to scopeguy20. -Scott

From some other threads mentioned here on LPF I understand that CNI produces a 1.1 Watt 532 nm handheld laser. I wrote to them inquiring about such a laser and seeking confirmation of availability. I received a response from Ava ZHENG (though no confirmation) to which I responded but now I...

There's a YouTube copy of this report as well: t6OweaSICVE -Scott

Re: Pocket blue laser + lightning bolts Wow, that is a very cool photograph! From a strictly static image standpoint your image definitely has mine beat. The next storm that rolls through bears recording on video with that setup! -Scott
