There is this video on YouTube of a guy using his 750mW Wicked Lasers S3 Krypton to pop 100 balloons in succession.
That seems impressive to me since I have a 2.2 watt laser with a G2 lens that I know for a fact couldn't pop a balloon as far away as he could with his laser that is 75% less...
Almost a month ago exactly I joined the LPF in hopes of building a sort-of-impressive laser that was bright and somewhat powerful.
I've never built a laser before and be warned - it's a lab laser, it's experimental, and it's UGLY. But it's functional, very bright, and runs nice and cool...
What's up guys! This is going to be my first "real" laser build. I have been interested in building a high-powered laser for quite some time, I just never really gave a lot of thought to the concept. Well, here I am now, ready to build one. I've been doing a lot of research online for the past...
Yes, I am very new to the forums, so please call me an idiot gently ;)
I am mostly self-taught when it comes to electronics and I have been building circuits for about 5 years. So I'm not inexperienced as far as electronics and electricity goes, BUT I am getting more and more confused by these...
