Laser Kinect display at Codebits - YouTube
Interesting video, nothing amazing but it's interesting to see the Kinect camera output display via a scanner.
Whats the recommended way to ship and disclose the contents of a 3b laser to a restricted country? I'm trying to sell my lasers but don't want to ship abroad with the whole issue with customs and restrictions on >5mW lasers. I realise I'm limiting my options and want to at least try and find...
For sale is my Spartan BP and Hulk both from Dragon Lasers. Things have come up in my life so I'm having to let these go especially since they don't get as much use as they should do. These lasers have been underused and well looked after, kept in storage most of the time. I accept PayPal...
Okay, so before I start, here's a little information on the Inova Microlight and why I want help with this "miracle." The Inova Microlight has three modes, high power ("constant wave"), low power ("pulsed"), and strobe. Typically, there are two types of LEDs which take advantage of these...
For sale is the Dragon Lasers Beam Expander which is currently out of stock. I'm in need of a new camera so this is one of the items I'm willing to let go in order to make the money I need. The beam expander is barely used and has been used three, maybe four times in the amount of time I've...
Sorry for any inconvenience, but I'm having to put this sale on hold as I've had to make unexpected payments and can't afford to ship this out to someone untill next week. I get paid next week so when that time comes I'll put the item back up when I'm in a more suited position to get this out...
So, I was wondering, how versatile are laser systems in what they can do? What are the limitations? I know people use computers and software to program in effects to use in shows, but is there any way to control the system directly? And if not, would it be possible?
The idea comes from my...
Just thought I'd share this picture of a double rainbow I took the other week... Have any of you guys taken pictures of rainbows?

Here's a few beam shots of my Hulk, plus pics and vid of my it being shone through the diffraction grating. It was advertised as Hulk 150mw but is extremely overpowered and averages 200mW!

I was wondering, does anyone know how these effects are done? Is it being projected onto a pain of glass?

So has anyone ever looked into persistence of vision and attempted to make a set-up? I have to admit, the concept is really cool and I'd love to have something like this to mess around with!

So an incident that happened a while ago was reported in the paper. I was told yesterday that the court hearing had happened and the guy got off with no charge. Sorry I don't have a link for you guys, but if this is true... Man...
So I thought I'd show off the Spartan a little bit. You guys have seen very little of this laser and I've seen a lot of yours so thought I'd put this up. My camera is really quite terrible for getting beam shot videos, so this will have to do you untill I get a better one. There's two here...
So lately one of my lasers have been making a really horrible screaching noise. Now I actually think it's the battery, the LI-Ion that got shipped with it. Has anyone heard of or experienced this before? I've pretty much thrown it away now because I don't want that thing in my laser, if it is...

This time less than 7 miles away from me... :( A couple of weeks old now but just got wind of it today. Just as well I don't bother shining them in the sky any...

I don't know whether they will still ship them like DX, but looks like the Viper, Spartan and other...
Divergence explains the ammount the beam will expand each meter, over a given distance. But what I was wondering was, how the divergence is effected after a reflection and whether using a device to reduce divergence (i.e beam expander) will increase brightness after a reflection.
In a few...
I tried googling the subject, but the info is a quite vast and rigerous to get through. I was wondering, what is it that analogue modulation actually does to help get a good mix of colours with an RGB set up? Obviously it must change some properties with the beam, but I'm lost as to what that...
So at the end of the month I'm going to start putting money away for a 473nm labby. While I wont be buying for a long time, I want to know what exactly I should be buying and what prices are at those options.
If I didn't want it for an RGB set up, to me I would be looking for CW, good...
While portable lasers are cool, I feel I have enough to stop spending big money on them. I have a 200mW green, 40mW blue and am soon working on a red and violet build. Besides a yellow laser, I don't see any reason why I should buy any more pointers. Sure they're good for portability, but try...
