Hello from Johannesburg, South Africa

[Rmontjoie]

Hey guys, Richard here from Johannesburg, South Africa. I often find myself working on weird projects, and my latest one is a Mutant Vehicle for AfrikaBurn, our local answer to Burning Man. This has forced me into doing some research into lasers, as our mutant vehicle is a giant unicorn (we call the BoomiCorn) that will be a sound and light display with a built in DJ booth and beer dispenser from underneath the BoomiCorns tail. Stand by for pictures as the project progresses, or follow it here if you're interested. https://www.facebook.com/boomboxbus/

I joined the forum for some assistance on static lasers and potential overheating problems.

Check out Kvant Lasers. They sell or rent laser display systems. Handheld battery operated type lasers aren't practical in this situation.
