My top secret project- but what is it :-P

[SMIDSY]

Well I was away for a bit and built my RGY scanner/ spirograph but I also started on this:

Its actually a different colour to what the camera picked up confusingly... but the question is what is it

Ill probably abandon it but for the moment its cool.

 

[SMIDSY]

straight into the lens.

 

[Viracocha]

Is it what the people at CERN should be seeing by now?

 

[thesk8nmidget]

hmm no idea!

 

[SMIDSY]

hmm no idea!

im not sure this counts as a BR..... lets put it that way

 

[thesk8nmidget]

you know secrets dont make friends

Is it just a red diode, your camera made the wrong color from shining it straight into the lens?

 

[Joshewon]

Come with me and Secrets told shall be ;D

no i have done into the lens shots with my red laser 100mW

im actually no longer sure what it is myself.

Its a diode (I think!) I got from fleabay. But seems to uotput in the UV not blue spectrum. Its virtually invisible and even when its invisible it makes things floresce so I know its working....

camera picks up thet nice blue color which isnt there!

So you know blu-ray diodes a violet right? I know its a dumb question but it seems like its just a normal diode.

Sounds like a <400nm diode??

 

[Dark_Horse]

Interesting, are there more available?

 

[thesk8nmidget]

very cool! but be careful uv can be very dangerous! can you also shine it on glow in the dark stuff and make it glow! that would be an AWESOME little trick!

LED or LD?

 

[FireMyLaser]

I want to know more!!!

Dude, if it's a UV laser diode that's awesomely cool, but could also be awesomely dangerous, please be carefull at shining it on or near your skin, who knows what wavelength this is.Have you taken power readings? (on a thermal meter preferably)
