Cryptic laser build






The picture does look quite intriguing. Hoping for more info! (and a few beam shots, their always a crowd pleaser.) hint hint. :)

What's with those many switch???
looks really intriguing indeed.

two of the switch gonna turn on the laser, while the other switch will causes an explosion :crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup:

It's the safety :D They have to all be on in a specific pattern for one laser to activate with the button, and another pattern for the other :rolleyes:

Like a code? That would be child safe and too cool. ! :)
 
Maybe switch in or out resistors to change the amount of drive?
 
Some of you are quite right and some of you quite wrong. But there are still features I haven't seen mentioned yet.






And yes, steering cats is a feature all lasers should have, so that doesn't count.
 
CATS!!!!

It would be nice to install some alarm inside, so that when the wrong switch got flipped, the alarm will goes off for about, say one minute :crackup:
And then, of course the nuke will be launched!!

So give us the details --The assembly looks good and interesting with all the switches however what about heat sinking of the modules if only 12 mm modules were used. What is the duty cycle?
I would use as large a copper module as will fit next time---maybe 20mm or 25mm that DTR sells here: https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diode-modules

Nice compairsion beam shots. :gj: But some info on the build would be great. You've got us sitting on the edge of our chairs. Some pics of the insides would be great also. :thinking:
 
I planned to post this sooner but then people started asking for crappy beamshots.

Heat sinking is bad, but this was a 1-day build anyways. Duty is about 60s before they get warm, and after about 120s on/off duty spread over 5 min they get finger-hot (45C).

Get a load of this switch wiring elegance.



Those white things are relays. More later.




(btw why does this board lately say "token expired" every time I try to reply after refreshing the page? It then discards my post entirely and suggests I press back and reload, which doesn't even work. I have to hard-reload.)

That some nice clean work. :thanks: for the peak inside. :)
 
Hi Z,
Absolutely astonishing work , nicely thought out and prepared. alignment of all components are in sync and proper. Thats a short duty cycle build buy effective great job.
