I may end up having to just ditch the entire switch assembly. At least, if I add my own, I'll know what's what, and why. Could probably swap out the battery configuration while I'm at it. Ground to the case? Wtf. Sounds like a great way to short the thing out, if you aren't careful.

The diode is a complete laser module, with integrated power supply, which is rated for the load (if I remember correctly). So...no. I didn't. Besides, if that were the case, it wouldn't light up (as stated above) when I connect it to another power source. It does. The problem here is that I...

Now that I've finally managed to get it apart, it seems as though the switch assembly in my 3 D-Cell maglite might be capable of supporting a laser diode. I'd have to plug something into the bulb holder, to shore up the wasted space, but I believe connecting the diode's leads directly to the...

Re: New Stock of Overspec 5mW Green I'm interested, when/if they become available again. Also, is there a cheap source for laser output measuring equipment?

Paul M. Brown: Resonant Nuclear Battery (Nucell) ~ Beta Voltaic Effect ~ Collected papers & US Patent # 4,835,433

Thanks for the answers!

Let us suspend disbelief for a moment, and consider the following proposal: Is it possible to either run a driver with a variable power setting (rotating head, switch, slider, etc), OR, run two (or more) drivers on the same circuit, set to different power levels, to drive a laser? In either...

However, the cooling technology might just be usable to counteract certain other "infeasible" technologies, such as Paul Brown's Resonant Nuclear Battery (a.k.a. the Nucell). As I recall, the major obstacle standing in the way of achieving an inconcievable 7500W/gram of Strontium 90 was the...

Curious...I remember seeing a YouTube video about a laser experiment which resulted in a stable plasma ball (something something femtosecond laser something something). Could a similar effect be achieved with multiple intersecting lasers, all set with the same focal point? It would be...

Hey, who said anything about bondage? Darn societal negative connotations...:whistle:

If the experiment is just to trap particles in the beam, then couldn't one simply light a match underneath the beam? Does it have to be an object placed directly in the beam, versus random particles intersecting with it?

If you have an interest in maille or nylon whips, I could be persuaded to pay in trade. Just a thought.

Well worth the price, but, unfortunately, beyond my abilities at this moment. If it is still in your possession later, I may reconsider.

What are you asking for it?

Hi. New guy here. Question: Is there any way one could purchase one of these "hosts" fully modded, and ready to go? That is to say, heatsink, driver, etc, already installed and set. As I am totally new to the art, it would be best to start simple. I'd like to just plug in the module and go, if...
