    What is going on!?

    Maybe? Can always place order the old fashion way, call over the phone to order. Or ignore the ssl and use a disposable pre-paid gift card. Most likely be ok, I’d call first to ask them before ordering.

    Eggs, yup it's about egg's...

    Can use a strong flashlight shine through the egg and you can see if it is a double yoke. Edit: So I saw that on cnn years ago. I just grabbed my strongest flashlight (cheap) and an egg. Results: Think I can make out the yoke but it’s very difficult and unclear. It is not like what they...

    Need a laser to use for training purposes...

    IMO. To me a projecting laser would be a tactical disadvantage. Maybe beneficial in CQB but not at range unless your trying to draw attention. Giving the high risk of eye strikes, I would not do it (maybe it’s a show thing and not used in combat). Keep it below 1mw and to get longer...

    Laser Lab and Hotel with Optics Manufacturing, and way more

    Deleted it and Tried to PM it but it would not. That is awesome! What is it called and is there a URL? You are one of the lucky ones. Only 26 percent of cities currently have makerspaces (very loose definition). Many are established in libraries and YMCAs (483 in North America) but not to...

    Let’s Dream a little. What is Your Dream Lab?

    Can not go back and add one later on, if needed (contingency and redundancy). Did not want it in the #1 post.

    Let’s Dream a little. What is Your Dream Lab?

    Both are good. I find a lab-style laser side of it intriguing. :crackup: valid point. lol paul1598419: this thread is not about money. This thread is not about that. There is a thread for it already. Don't know why you have such a vendetta for. I have never wronged you.

    Super wide-beam laser

    Me too. Whats the application? I can think of one application that could use a very wide divergence that is acceptable (ie not a weapon).

    Let’s Dream a little. What is Your Dream Lab?

    Everything starts with an idea that turns into a dream. What is Your Dream laser Lab or lab-style laser? Laser and optics related since this is a laser forum. But other workshops is ok too, like wood, metal, electronics.

    120/240VAC Question

    I’d use a few tandem circuit breaker that turns one slot into two 120v breakers. Do a few of those and you’ll free up enough space to fit a full size 240 breaker. Or do a sub panel. All 2nd means of disconnect require all grounds and neutrals to be separated and remove the neutral/ground...

    Videos from youtube you wish to share.

    the circuit i posted cold be its own board. the smps controller should be the 5 pin TO-220 package on that heat-sink? Judging by the photo. also looks like there using a mosfet or transistor to boost current ability. the LM358 Op-amp could be important and a possible point for modification...
