Distance Experiments
hi all, this might already be covered somewhere else on the forum i'm sure someone must of thought of this before, if so my apologies (suppose links will follow) but I was just wondering if any of you have some links to video clips where; from a high altitude fixed position someone blasts a laser across the night sky and someone else travels to it's furthest point to get an approximate (or as accurate as possible) REAL distance that these various high powered beauties can achieve? i've tried looking for similar type videos on youtube but couldn't find any.
if not maybe we could use this thread to kick off such experiments? I suppose apart from the obvious requirement, a nice dark sky, one or 2 devices to capture the video, a willing friend/s and a full tank of petrol lol :yh:
my laser is on order so i will have to wait until it's received before posting my contribution but if any of you guys are up for the challenge it would be interesting to see the results....
hurps
