..lazer... ;D ;D ;D
JECS said:eesh.. from 80 to 180 close enough to double not many people are gonna use a calculator to say its 2.25 times stronger when they can just look at it and know its about double.
i still have no idea what im driving mine at though.. mine are only the 8x diodes and they get hot pretty quick in just an aixiz module. i usually leave them on for a few minutes at a time though. i can pop a balloon instantly at around 10ft (my apartment is small cant check much larger) and even cut black electrical tape in a few seconds at the same distance. my driver cicuit is just a cap,diode, and 2 10ohm resistors i think. i run it between 3-5 volts no idea what amperage. im guessing my psu is putting out more than 2 aa batteries. if mine can do it i dont see why you cant get more out of yours
thats not a driver, thats more of a current limiting resistor cap setup. using a full driver will ensure proper current regulation
but hey, resistors work too!

er right.. i will be adding lm317 in the future.. right now im running it off a variable volt and amp psu that i made in high school along with those other components. i just set my voltage and amperage on the lowest settings and turned them up till i was happy with the results. still waiting to get a decent pair of batteries and something to put everything in. cant make a decision. just got everything stuck in the proto board right now along with my ultrasonic sound emitter just in case im feeling mischievous
yeah senkat diodes are rated for around 100mw cw..but uh.. you ever overclock a computer? its pretty much the same thing.. my cpu is like 1.7ghz stock.. i got it set at 2.5ghz right now just takes a big chunk of aluminum and a large fan strapped to it

lol sorry for OT
so, these senkat diodes are rated at 100mW? I thougth they were capable of like 200mW when pushed to the limits...
