    Just a couple general questions about building lasers

    Differentiate between 'Optical Power Output' ( what you are really interested in) and 'Electrical Power Dissipation' (what should be considered in build design). Ohm's law will give you power dissipation from the current draw on the batt.s As already stated, optical power is related to diode...

    808nm appears red to me like 650nm, why?

    "thus we perceive the only red we can perceive... What do you think? " Yeah, well, you can't beat that logic..........

    Changing the laser in a laser sight?

    I don't know where 'Gabe' gets his info, but it ain't correct. In answer to your question, the answer is a resounding 'NO'. You'll have to rip the grip to shreds and a green module will not fit. I can't say about a true green diode, but to screw up a $300 - $400 pair of grips, to then add a...

    Can't Wait To How Long It Is Before Someone....

    What with folks talking about incorporating Water Cooled CPU Heat Sinks in drivers and Diode modules.... I can't wait to see how long its gonna be before someone talks about incorporating Water Cooled Resistors in their 'man-portable pointer' : Do you need to save space? » DesignSpark I can...

    Looking for a recommendation - quadcopter

    If you are really committed to learning to fly, don't waste your time on "mini-quads" and/or "mini-Hexies" (things like 250's, and such). Larger and heavier birds are more stable (once tuned in) and much more resistant to 'crash damage'. Parts are more expensive, but you'll end up buying far less.

    xxxxx thumbs down for dishonesty

    Ok so he decided to sell to someone else instead, or perhaps he did get confused? Perhaps he'd been contacted by someone prior to your message and was still negotiating the price? Either way this doesn't really make him a dishonest person. This would be the case if he cheated someone, or never...

    Leonard Susskind on The World As Hologram

    Holographic Universe is NOT real science. It it theoretical physics. Theoretical, an idea (even if based upon flakey math), unproven, not real, not really there, kinda like a Hologra..... ....... ..... Oops...

    “Something Is Monitoring The Planet, And They Are Monitoring it Very Cautiously”

    Wow! a far off alien civilization, far advanced technologically, found a way to come here and they did!...... Why?......... and why don't they introduce themselves? and what is so special about you that they came all that way just to see you? Sorry pal, but somebody has been off alone in the...

    “Something Is Monitoring The Planet, And They Are Monitoring it Very Cautiously”

    I've always thought that Cyparagon was from outer-space. This prooves it! he's one of 'THEM' trying to hide the truth and keep us under thier mind control!!!!!! Sorry Cy, just couldn't pass up the chance.....

    How far does a 1W blue laser go

    In space, little to nothing for the light to bounce off of, so no,no beam. Austin Astronomy club fired a 1W blue at the ISS (space station) and the crew reported observation of the LASER origin.

    Calculating out put on a M140

    Thresholh current is the level at which the diode will START LASEing, at or above the Voltage drop reguired by the diode structure. The ABSOLUTE Max.s are the stopping point, beyond whech the manufacturer does not recommend going, and will not garantee the product (go boom,boom). you are...

    Tektronix scope

    Tektronix doesn't make ANYTHING that isn't GOOD. The question is "is it good enough for what you need/want to do with it?". The answer to that is most likely yes. A 1052 will do anything you'll ever require as a LASER hobbiest. Cann't say as far as tesla circuits (it aint much good at high...
