8X Diode Murder fund






IgorT, regarding the duty cycle myth. Although it would be nice to bust that myth, I don't think most people are going to run them for 5 mintues on 5 minutes off. At least I don't. I usually run them for about 1 minute at a time. Maybe 1.5-2 minutes if I'm doing a video or something. IMO, only one variable should be changed with the second diode. So if the first diode dies to quick, then the current should probably be turned down. If it keeps going and going, then the current gets turned up for the second diode (like you mentioned before). But if two variables are changed (duty cycle and current) then we won't know what caused the difference in results.

cmon guys only $60 more!
 
I'll need some time to plot PHRs anyway, currently i have them sorted by efficiency (a few partial steps on the Analyzer) and wavelength...

Yes, i already said at the bottom of that post that the test parameters NEED to stay the same, i changed my mind in the meanwhile, because other things are too important.

I have GGWs i can kill for the duty cycle thing.... I already did an experiment on a few PHRs once tho...

ahh ok. I must have missed that chapter in the book :)

My hosts still not there yet?

This would be IN ADDITION to anything you can wrangle out of IgorT ;)

I already mentioned my offers several times, i think everyone knows them, and they go regardless of what you contribute, it's a great offer for anyone who can afford $40!

A fully working module, and some diodes from me!

The number of diodes for $40 should be:
4x PHR + 4x LCC red

It doesn't cover a GGW tho, but that's over i guess...


We're almost done! :)

Hmmmmm . . . .Maybe I should donate the last $40. ;)
THAT is one heck of a deal there!!!

Peace,
dave
 
Haha, if you want four PHR freaks with PIV plots, and four LCCs.. :D

I'd donate but then i can't get Glenn a diode... :(

And i really need to until he gets the money together, i want to have as many diodes at once as possible for selection....

Ok, Bryce wants to donate the missing $40.....

Are we done? :)

If he does, we are . . . .

Should I shut it off? I haven't heard anything from him about it.


Although I believe he is good for it ;)

Peace,
dave

**EDIT** Bryce007 has ALWAYS followed through. Imma shut it down
