Hi everyone, Im from New Zealand and havnt had much experience with lasers at all, ive played with the odd one and teased the cats, thats about it. However, I am very much into making things, and making them do certain tasks. So ive had an idea. -->
What I need is a colourless laser, something that animals cant see, humans included, that can be safely shone at animals, people, etc. average range would be between 50 meters to 1km max. But it would have to be safe enough you cant burn your fingers with it.
The second half of the equation is a reciever for such a laser, that when hit with this beam activates a relay, after that its easy.
The third part of this idea is that the laser needs to be somewhat broad, at approx 100m it needs to cover the area approximately of two adult men, standing side by side, with a reasonable gap between them. Approx a 2meter radius would be sufficient.
The idea came to me today when I was in a friends car and his radar detector went nuts, screaming laser!, around the corner was a cop with a speed gun. This sort of thing would be perfect, but expensive in the long run. Something i can make myself, then have made on a larger scale is what im aiming for.
Thanks everyone in advance for your input, help, thoughts and criticisms.
