2 Blu-Ray Pointers made w/PVC

[DREW8110]

Here's 2 quick Blu-Ray builds. One is made with 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe, and the other made with 3/4" and 1/2" CPVC pipe. Both are made with PHR-803T's. Had both at over 150mW but turned one down to 110mW.

how much heatsinking!?

 

[DREW8110]

Not much. Besides the aixiz module, I took a sheet of aluminum foil and folded it several times so that it was about 18 inches long and 1 inch wide, and wraped it around the aixiz module very tightly. That gave me about 1/8" or more of aluminum. Whether that is doing very much, I don't know yet. I have not left on very long at one time. I did basicly the same thing on several red burners when I did not have a host, but wanted to build something quickly. I ran those a lot and never had a problem.

Even on broadband this took 2 minutes to load :-[ In future Before uploading:-
In your photo suite....
Open a blank picture window.....File/image choose size 640 X 400
Open the picture you want to post........ edit/select all/copy
Select blank picture.... edit/paste......shrink image to fit..... save as (image name)small

If you have loaded ones that are too big use the modify function on your post (top right corner)
browse for the small picture and insert it.....it will replace the big one.

Al foil is no good for heatsinking :-/ it has lots of air gaps between the layers and causes it to conduct heat worse than a normal block of aluminium.

Washers make a good cheap heatsink.
