Okay, later on I might try to record a video of what I am experiencing, I haven't posted video before though.
This is a little hard to explain but a very strange effect.
I have my bride of frankenstein build that is all DIY...
for lookin'at... http://laserpointerforums.com/f42/bride-frankenstein-58519.html
Now the battery connection is through twisting the end cap to make contact, as of late I have notice that it emits a quiet high pitched sound when "ON". This hasn't really bothered me and I still play with it from time to time, Even at the low power its running, at the focal it still burns.:evil:
Tonight I'm playing with it, the quiet high pitched sound is happening, I put it to a close focal, slide a match book in front and it begins to burn like usual, what I do notice is that the sound coming from the host begins to 'modulate'(sorry not sure how to explain), either way I would expect the sound to stay steady because of some battery connection trouble, but NEVER to change because the beam is breaking(burning carboard)!
I tried it a few times and get the same result, steady quiet high pitch sound, then when I break the beam at burning point, focal, the tone changes?:undecided:
This is curious! Anyone lend some light on this I would be interested.
Thanks:beer:
Edit: just wanted to try it again to make sure i'm not posting something crazy..I though perhaps I was shaking it around in my hand. I put it down on a cloth and moved the matchbook back and forth and still had the same result. The sound is very faint, I may not be able to catch it on video, but it sounds almost like harmonics(my ear is trained more to music than science though)
