The funny thing is, a lot of guys rag on him for that video regarding all
the diodes it 'may' have killed...

But many forget the fact that the video told you how to do it with junker parts.
That in mind, the LD was to be taken from a dead DVD burner, he didnt say
to go out and drop a wad of cash on a burner..

I got my DVD burner for 100$ at the time, and it would have been my own
stupidity if I would have killed it..

I did some reading around and made mine with a resistor to limit current.
Several months later I found LPF and went from there.

If you looked at the IR with no optics I wouldn't be too worried, unless
you tried to look inside :undecided:

While its not a good idea, I think I did the same thing :shhh:

He could emphasize more on safety, especially with a larger audience,
needs to be drilled into their heads.

My thoughts exactly

After I saw that video I stole the DVD burner from one of my computers and dusted off my old maglight...

I took apart the drive and extracted a diode no prob, unfortunately I had grabbed the ir diode not the red. I powered that thing up and thought why is this so dim. I remember looking straight into the bare diode, it's a wonder I'm not blind.

I still have that diode, the diode that caused me to search the Internet about how to properly build a laser pointer... The diode that led me here.

So I thank him for showing me a laser could be more than the little toys at the dollar store, and I thank him for doing it improperly.

Hopefully no time soon.. It will all depend on how many idiots try to laze aircraft.. Lets
just hope Molsons doesnt add 5mW greenies instead of T-shirts in 24's this year :drunk:

I like his Non-Laser Videos....
I like the dramatic intro to his videos...
I don't like his disregard of simple Laser Safety in his
Videos containing Lasers that he presents to his (some)
very young and clueless fans...
I see that he has started adding some small Laser Safety
tidbits recently...

Once he has accepted responsibility for his lack of emphasizing
Laser Safety and has corrected that.... sure I'll change my views
on his actions or lack of...

IMO.... only God can forgive him if/when someone hurts himself
using/following any of his videos...

^^Very True, Do You Think His "Huge" Ego would Allow it?
 
Every dysfunctional family has their victim/scapegoat (s)

Kipkay and WL are ours :whistle:

Peace,

^^^^^ Exactly my thoughts when there....
It's easy to fit in if you scout the surroundings first....:eg:

Acktually, yes it should.

Every time he reaches a multiple of 100 posts, he notes his post count, rep power, and rep points.

As for why, I have no idea.

We mods like to mess with him by randomly altering his numbers :tinfoil:

We do it to many of you, but you never notice :eg:

Hey! A guy's got to have a hobby, right? :na:

whats pl

PL = Ph0t0nlex1c0n

It is another laser forum. It is focused more on laser projectors and professional shows. There is an undercurrent of hatin' on hand-held lasers there.

Peace,
