    Batteries with LM317?

    Thanks! Last question, cause the answers I keep finding are not for my particular setup, or parts. Is 6V @.125mAh safe for a x8 Diode?

    Confused about Electricity

    lol NP I foud this site, and it helps a lot. It really breaks it down for me: LED series parallel array wizard And within that site are these 2 links that helped with the lable power ratings: http://led.linear1.org/id-help.php http://led.linear1.org/vf-help.php

    Confused about Electricity

    Well thanks for your help. I'll keep reading up on this stuff. I didn't know how hard this stuff would be starting out. Perhaps I'm not on the level I thought:( Thank you again, for your time and help!

    Just to clarify, when you say "twist together" you meaning the bottom diagram, of the pic below right?

    Confused about Electricity

    This is what I have done. I still needed a few things to do the suggestions you guys have given me. I get paid tonight so I'll run to radioshack and start the suggested project. Till then this is what I have, What do you think? is there anyway to make it brighter, or just all around better?

    Confused about Electricity

    lol I figured out what I was doing wrong. On one side of this recharagable 9V it says 200Ah, on the other it says 200mAh. I have 2 of the same battery, but only one says it. So I kept getting anomalies in my math. BTW one thing you said stuck out. "deduce the 3v drop" I'm assuming that the...

    Confused about Electricity

    I have seen things like this before... That still doesn't help. any chance you can answer my questions? I 'did' say, "I'm confused". Meaning I know the material, I just don't understand... Thanks for trying to help though...

    Confused about Electricity

    Also if would help the matter I have twin to this LED. I'm not against using both if it would help me make it brighter

    Confused about Electricity

    If I have a 9v 200mAh battery. and I put a 10-Ohm resistor on it: 1.) does the current get divided by the 10: 200mAh / 10-Ohm = 20mAh :thinking: 2.) Does anything happen to the voltage? or does it stay at 9v? 3.) With does the 10k-Ohm resistor mean? I don't understand what the 'k'...

    Low as $1.95,Click here you will get perfect laser pointer - Tmart.com

    lol... XD you must take a look at this XD This is a 250mW laser Please take a look at the second to last pic of the warning label But what I have got from t-mart so far I am happy with. The price is reasonable even if the lasers are underspec. By The Way: Tmart, if you make a video of...

    Batteries with LM317?

    Thanks... When people talk about the diode from DVD burners, and the speed. They are talking about The DVD Burner Speed... Right? If so I have an oldish computer with a DVD burner, and it's X8 I belive. How hard would I push that (mAh), and is the 6v Still a safe Voltage? Thanks for that info.

    Batteries with LM317?

    I'm only doing this so I know how. BTW, Thank you all for the Info on lasers. But If i hadn't broken the piece off. What power supply would I have used? Or do I use a power supply EXACTLY as needed by the diode? In other words, Can I use a 12V power supply, on a diode that normally ran off 2xAA...

    Batteries with LM317?

    Thanks! I have been curious. This answered a few questions I had. The way you make it sound is that 'I' won't be aligning the crystal (right?) up. Not that I have taken offense; But because of lack of tools, and skill, right? Anyway thanks. From what I've read online the IR lasers are extremely...
