Now I see what the ssy1 can do!! Im just useing 1100uf at 343v! it doesnt come close to that! mine barely makes a round burn on a piece of e tape! How many shots do u think u will get from the laser before it starts to hurt it? I have taken out my qswitch before even trieng with the cap I have, I didnt wanna kill it right away... my cap is only rated 330v, im supprised it charges to 343... I have seen it punch a hole in al foil, but usually takes 2 shots with a lens in front of the laser. This is an awesome video, thanks for sharing it!!! I was the one that asked how u got the pic. cause I was hoping my ssy1 was as powerfull, now I know thats the same model laser as mine! I wonder what would happen if u were to take 2 ssy1s, take out the output mirror of one, and the rear mirror on the other one, carefully allign them, hook the flash lamps in series, and dump a cap in it. would it just take less power to fire the same optical output, or would the optical power be doubled?
now I wanna add more cap to mine! I built mine in a sweet case and its all self contained with a red diode module as a target indicator! the cool thing is that when u focus it with a lens, the red dot still tells where u are going to hit. I have had many hours of fun with mine already.
, very nice!!
