Three of your favorite laser aspects in one!
The spirograph was gutted from a $15 laser light show thing. Smoke was from a 650W Chauvet fogger. Camera exposure was less than a second. The yellow setup was with about 50mW of green and 200mW of red. A purer white to the eye seemed purple to the camera (at 200-60-30) and a purer white to the camera seemed sea-greenish to the eye (at 200-100-50). Alignment and ratios aren't perfect, but pretty damn close. The whole thing took about two hours. Lasers used are in my sig.
Total power for red is 200mW; total power for yellow is 250mW; total power for sea-green is 150mW; total power for purple is 250mW; total power for white is 350mW.
With everything on one power strip, I only blew the circuit breaker once. Argons are like fat people in buffets. Even the 14AWG from the power strip was warm to the touch.
