Hello, I sorta wish to keep my actual name anonymous due to some privacy attacks I have experienced before, so my apologies if that is inconvenient.
Anyways, I’ve been huge into lasers ever since I was 16. I’m 18 years old now, I’ve been studying safety of laser operations and the basics for about 2 years. I love experimenting with things like high voltage as well (I’m building a Tesla Coil that is driven by a valve / tube and makes huge sparks that are safe to touch). I was inspired to get into the laser hobby by StyroPyro, a Youtuber who has been in the field for a long time as well (more than 5 years if I’m not mistaken).
I once had a really nice set of high power handheld lasers (one was blue, one was green, and one was a stunning red colour, I loved to get a prism and some lenses and join the beams to make an incredible white laser beam). Unfortunately, since I live in a military family, we move a lot... and when we move, things get lost. My set of nice lasers sadly fell victim to a move, and I couldn’t find them after that.
I’m hoping to get a collection going again, as I do miss the awesome experiments I could perform with the lasers. I’m planning on actually buying a few kits from eBay (despite how dubious the legitimacy of the seller listings can be). And of course, I’ll make sure to get a pair of REAL laser safety glasses with them (and not use the ones that come in the kits).
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this little intro. I look forward to hopefully rekindling my hobby.
