Lighting wood on fire 3.2W 445nm

[JLSE]

Is this the same ***** 445 nm that others are getting or is this one different?
Cool set up. Thank the FSM for computer CPU heat sinks!

Same diodes, just 2 of them combined into a single beam :beer:

Glad the link still worked... Most times they get taken down after
a bit..

Enjoy

LOL I can hear your fans speed up when you cut the power back to the array and vice versa. Reminds me of using a shop vac to pick up water when it gets full and the little ball gets sucked into the intake!

 

[JLSE]

Its the first thing I noticed on the first firing :eg:

When you take up water with a shop vac though,
dont forget about the violently shaking hose

Hi,

Nice laser. You just inspired me. I would like to build one of these. Where do you find a 3.2 W 445nm laser diode?

If you took time to read the whole thread, you would have come to the conclusion that this build consist of TWO 445nm diodes knife-edged.

If you did read the thread and failed to come to that conclusion you really should start with a lower power build, maybe a PHR for you?

Not trying to necro post or whatever blah blah blah, please don't jump on my back guys... But, has anyone else ever seen this? Who is EMI? and why is my country copyrighting wannaburns video??

Thats what you get when the*cough* *uploader* uses music in the video...

For some reason, some work and other dont... All my future videos will
be without a music track just to be safe..

Its a copyright by location type thing.. As far as I know, it works fine
in North America, but that may have also changed..

 

[jakeGT]

I live in kentucky, I'm pretty sure that's still north america correcT?!?!?!?!
and what song was it? or if you told me would you have to kill me? haha

I just wanted to watch the video of a 3.2W burning....

 

[JLSE]

Hmm... Hadnt realized your location, but no worries..

I am working on re-uploading all my videos that had music.
I noticed a while back that certain locations couldnt view them
so since then I have pulled them up from the archive, just have to re post.

Its okay though, that video is like so last week

my new stuff is much better :beer:

BTW the track is an edited version of a Floyd song..

 

[jakeGT]

Well let's see it! Floyd is one of the big reason I got into lasers so that sounds just phenomenal

WOW all i can say is must have been expensive.

WOW all i can say is must have been expensive.

Actually it started as a prototype for a handheld design. I made it in a
labby form so the work piece wouldnt keep rolling off my desk
The cost was only that of the 2 LD's, aluminum stock, and a few
hours spent on the mill..

@jakegt, the video is the same laser in my avatar...

 

[david1235102]

Jake I have the same problem.

 

[JLSE]

Making a few new videos.. There wont be any issues with these. No more
Floyd though :cryyy: ahh well...

Some of the 3.2W footage was added... Those curious may now see :beer:
