He was nice enough to send me one of his latest creations.... a Red laser made by himself with a focus ring on front.
The Focus ring is way cooler than I thought it would be.....
This is a pen style thats chrome with a on off button.
At first, I thought it was broke as it would flicker or not come on at all...... I had NiMh rechargables in it... I put in some regular Alkalines and now it works perfect without fluctuation or failure.
I was able to pop a black balloon from 15 feet away... but it has to be still "thats a given"... I was totally surprised?
I've never played with a red laser this powerful... interesting that I thought it was weak at first as I can barely feel the heat from it...even when its focused on my skin "unlike the green"...but this sucker will punch a hole in a balloon no sweat!....
I tried to burn a red tipped match to no avail...... I bet if it was green it would go up in smoke...... I didn't try painting one black and letting it dry or anything.
This is a pretty cool accomplishment!
Seeing how the Alkalines made such a big difference... I would think Lithium would be even better.... but seems I remember lithiums are a no no in Reds..... so I didn't try those.
Way to go Senkat!
