Re: Freak 803T Diode **Mystery Solved**
It is all about getting rid of that heat. Daguin was kind enough to build me a superb module for testing, it contains a Rkcstr driver set at 180mA outputting 175mW after an acrylic AixiZ lens.
I received it this morning (Thank you very much Dave) and...
Ken, I guess I am to blame for that and I guess the subsequent "irony" thread.
I only posted it in response to a thread called "Senkat Drama" which has now vanished (?) I did not for a minute intend the thread to sit someone on a pedestal or to differentiate any individual to say they are any...
Re: pseudonomen137 scammed me out of $425!
Well me and Pseudo have never really been friends and we don't agree on a lot of things. As fellow enthusiasts we share some respect for each other and I feel I have to defend him here.
If you are looking for a scammer, then you will have to look...
You can always use a clear lacquer to prevent the build up of oxide salts. But apart from colour, there really is no need to choose it over ally for the sorts of power a diode will radiate.
But I have to agree, a polished copper heatsink would look kinda good :)
Jase.
Aye. Copper is superior to ally in terms of heat transfer, however it is heavy, expensive and is a pain to machine. It is also a very reactive metal and tarnishes easily.
Aluminium is a wonderful metal to machine and can be highly polished. It will self oxidise and protect itself from corrosion...
It gets no better than this. Machined and mirror finished from T-6 grade Aerospace Aluminium. I added some cooling fins to increase the surface area and aid cooling.
The bore is a very snug "Transition" fit , so the Aixiz module can easily be pressed out again, should I need to swap out. I made...
Dont you mean KMN03? Potassium permanganate. Used to be freely available here in the UK as a foot deodouriser . Mere mention of it now will get you arrested as a terrorist.
Great oxidiser and a lot of fun when added to Glycerine.

Much respect to you my little friend ;) Best laser lighting match video I have ever seen. Why? Because you made it very personal. Instead of a pair of disjointed hands, we see the face behind the scientist.
Study hard, and experiment safely because you are the future and you will achieve great...
Correct. You may be able to jump start the tube using an external Oudin coil. If you can manage this, then leave the tube running for as long as you can to lower the pressure.

Hey there Things, Since when was I considered a n00b? ;) I bought my first red "credit card" style pointer form Tandy (Radioshack) for over $200 about 15 years ago. Wasn't that before you were even born? ;D
My reason for starting this thread was just to be satirical, no need to be so literal...
I have known Greg for a long time and I used to consider him a friend. But it is time that people knew the truth about him.
I did some Machining of heatsinks for him about a year ago and in return he only goes and sends me a parcel of 5 of his new diodes and 5 Aixiz Housings to mount them in.
I...
