The bad thing is that the 100mW is probably only half as bright as the 1W and unbelievably less likely to injure your eye.

Based on Sony's safety data sheets on laser safety, I am of the opinion that >500mW is where things turn from pretty dangerous to REALLY dangerous.

Yeah, you can get injured from 100mW, but you also stand a good chance of getting a very temporary injury or avoiding injury altogether unless it is a very direct hit.

At 1 Watt, the odds change radically. Now the same accident will almost certainly cause instant, permanent injury to one, or both of your eyes.




>5mW

I let my 3 and 4 year-olds play with a 3mW (metered by me) 635nm supervised by me or my wife.




It is funny, when I show friends my lasers they always ask, "What are these FOR?"

I give them a quick star pointer demonstration (Orion and Sirius are up right now) and then I grin and say, "basically they are toys!"




Definitely a blind spot in his eye anyway!

And i will still buy a 1W laser...

''For the last time, I AM NOT STUPID, i am aware of all the dangers,
tough i am young, i know all of it, ''
..not strictly true is it, but nonetheless..

Kevin, just do yourself a favour and stop posting 'wanting to buy' type threads.
No-one here in their right mind is going to sell you a Laser (powerful or otherwise).
Stupidity has nothing to do with it, it's your age, pure and simple. When you finally get that through your head you can stop wasting everyone's time.
You can keep saying it, it makes no difference, YOU'RE 11!!

When you started down here you were looking for a laser for your dad. Does he even know you're on here?
The responsibilty of providing this laser you seek should rest with your parents. No one here wants to risk the 'what if...' scenario.
If dad thinks you can handle a powerful laser responsibly and wants to help you get one, get him to come on LPF.

Ahh I don't mean to interrupt this thread on my first post.

But if he's under 11. And this forum is hosted in the US. Which to my understanding it is. Wouldn't he require proof of consent from a parent even if he's in the Netherlands? I mean the actions are taking place IN THE US, on US servers?

On top of that to the people saying you should coddle to the request of an 11 year old due to the fact he's "only 11" and has a "curiosity". Is akin to him saying HE LOVES MATH AND SCIENCE!! HE JUST CANT BE BOTHERED LEARNING THEM!!!! You're saying he's entitled to do none of the research or work that everyone else here seems to be putting into their efforts just because hes a kid who happens to have a little money to buy a laser? I don't think we should be appealing to his selfish attitude when he clearly doesn't have any responsibility nor does his father if his father isn't even the one attempting to procure the laser for him. So regardless of the how, why, who, what, when and or where of this kid. You're expecting him to learn to be safe with the laser when he won't even bother learning how it works?

And do you know WHY he isn't bothering to learn how it works? Because he can't. He's 11. His brain isn't even fully developed. He has no ability to comprehend the structure of it. On top of that at 11 years old your brain also has no inhibitions. E.g. that shit that tells us it's NOT okay to sell a laser to a 11 year old. Those are the exact things hes missing.

So yeah, j/sin.

Read this. Read it and really try to understand it. Google the words or phrases if you do not know what they mean. Prove to yourself that you are not as stupid as many people here believe.

You have been given information, defended, been called names and been dismissed. What do you not understand? You are TOO YOUNG TO PURCHASE A LASER.
If you want a laser, then ask your parents to come to this forum, read about safety and buy you one for you. Your parents are the ones who are responsible for you and your parents are the only ones who can give you the right to use a laser. Nobody here can change that. YOU can't change that.
Now get off the computer, tell your parents what you would like and listen to what they decide. If you go behind their backs, it only PROVES that you are incapable of acting responsibly and listening to reason, and that you WILL end up hurting yourself or someone else.
If you really, truly want a laser and are denied it by your parents, I have some good news for you:
In a few years, you will be able to buy and build as many as you like and you will still have started the hobby earlier than most other people do.
You don't need a laser now. I don't know of any 11 year old kids who have a high power laser.

I will no longer be replying to this thread.

Not here you won't...
Not if I can help it...:tsk:

1) You have proven by your posts that you are too immature
and don't have enough Laser knowledge to operate a High
Powered Laser safely...

2) We know that children think they know everything even
when they actually know very little...

If there is one thing I agree with. I is the fact that I will do everything in my power to stop you from purchasing a high powered laser on these forums.

Re: Help!!!

must be a 54 inches to ride these rides, sorry. By the time I was 11, I had already shot someone with a 16g, set dumpters on fire, and get kicked out of elementary school for drawing porn... I can only imagine the trouble a laser would have brought me. Stay away kid, trust me. Its for the better.

Everyone used to draw men's pineses :)
I had a special talent drawing boobs though ^^

He;s banned.

Good to hear....

He won't be drawing any legal authority attention
to himself by blinding himself or someone else...
because we encouraged him to get a High Powered
Laser at his age and experience....
