A baby 473

A baby 473nm DPSS 10mW putting out 50mW that I'm testing.

473nm is such a nice color.

Nice, but as nerdy as it is, those caps are intriguing me more =D

Those caps provide the ample explosive energy for the flashlamp in my Nd:YAG homebuilt.

450V 1800mfd each

I've got one of these in a super-cap form... ;D It's about the size of the BluRay in a box, but rated up to 700V and 2200mF! (military surplus store, last one that had )

Ive got a nice fat cap, pulled from a old power supply with very fat rails

Makes for a nice coil gun

Ok since we are talking about caps, I'll repost the video of the caps in the picture above in use:

That's just beautifull....50mW of 473 is a treasure indeed Is that a handheld?

Anyway, since we're talking about capacitors and coilguns on a laser forum, my dream device is a semiautomatic coilgun/rubylaser gun (swichable) with a predator-style triangle 3xgreen laser(>100mW best beam specs on the market and perefectly parallely alligned) sight, powered by at least one nice 10.000 microfarad cap (eventhough it might get a long time to charge up from batteries,and probably wouldn't last for more than 5 to 10 shots ) all in a nice futuristic pistol-phaser/pulse-rifle package...yeah When I'm gonna have the resources to build that and post it on youtube I could die happy(well...that and have a threesome : )
