I have done it, I have the power!

[dnar]

I feel sorry for that poor screwdriver...

 

[Prototype]

Sorry, I'm pretty sure someone here has a 40W YAG, so you've still got a ways to go. Two projectors focused to one point might get you there .

MarioMaster has a 60W Coherent diode bar

 

[Pontiacg5]

Is it visible though?

 

[MarioMaster]

Oh it's visible, it's just not visible

 

[kevinmassey]

Will it ionize the air at the focal point ?

 

[Ramsey_innovations]

@ Pontiacg5, is that just the rest of the optical assemblly from in the projector that is focusing all the diodes?

 

[Pontiacg5]

You can tell that these are pulsed. It makes a peculiar humming sound when you hit something in the focal point.

I'm not sure about ionizing the air

 

[ICU]

Wow :bowdown:

I'd be investing in a box of the longer fireplace matches and keep my fingers a bit further away after seeing that screwdriver

You would need a bit more power to do that... Q-Switched is the way to go.

I hope no one wanted the stock lenses with their diodes... because they'll have a nice coating of plastic fumes all over them!

 

[Pontiacg5]

No plastic fumes! There is a lens in front of everything. The diodes and lenses are sealed inside the knife edge assembly.

 

[DiRollin]

:

I no longer have the strongest focal point

Its been dismantled and all diodes extracted. Can't keep the people waiting.

I just cant believe it doesn't exist anymore! Gone way too soon. R.I.P. :cryyy:

 

[Pontiacg5]

There will be more

 

[HaloBlu]

Awesome. Seriously watch your fingers man.

Expect more vids from the next projector. I need to prepare a place outside because the amount of smoke this thing puts off is nuts!

I would send you a respirator just for more videos!

 

[Pontiacg5]

I smoked for 4 years, this is nothing :undecided:

 

[HaloBlu]

I'm really lucky, back in my high school days I had quite a few drags & few whole cigarettes even but they somehow didn't hook me.

«EDIT»

Hell, I was so mesmerized first time watching it that I somehow didn't notice you sliced that match in half after lighting it.

 

[DiRollin]

There will be more

Ok well until then change the thread title to "I had done it, I had the power!!" :crackup: Just kidding
