hey guys, i saw a thread on the LC about the mythbusters doing a myth about lasers, and thought it might be a really good idea if they did one that had lasers in it?? maybe they could test if someone shined a laser at a plane, is it really that serious???
i don't know, but i though it might be something cool they could do??
their emails are:
Jaime's Email: mythbusters@m5indu[nospam]stries.com
Adam's Email: adam@adam[nospam]savage.com
i got this off the LC, so i don't really know if these emails are supposed to contain the [nospam] part, although they prolly would with the popularity of the show??
what do you think??
thanks
 





I think it would be awesome but I just can't think of any good ones. Maybe test if all of WLs lasers are teh suk? :D


You know in the movie Real Genius? I was thinkin about something from that...
 
ya hmmmmm?? i reckon they could test whether shining lasers at planes is really that big of a deal, i mean what is the chance of getting a 1cm or whatever size dot, into the cockpit of a moving plane?
 
1 cm dot on an AIRBORNE plane things??? Geez either u have low flying planes dodging telephone poles or a AWESOME laser.... :P sorry could not resist hahah......im an as s lol! wouldn't the beam be big when it gets to a reasonable altitude? i thought they were only a danger to planes landing/taking off.... hmmm needs busting me thinks :P
 
ya me too, but it is mainly when the planes come into land, and take off! does someone want to email them and ask em??
 
the emails will be without the [nospam], adding that to emails shown online stops spam bots harvesting the addresses because the email *with* [nospam] in it isn't valid but a human knows to remove it.
 
I didn't make anything fancy, just a short paragraph or so:

Hi,

Us folks at www.laserpointerforums.com would love to see you test the myth that a high powered laser can really blind a pilot in flight. It's hard to imagine that someone on the ground could hit a pilots eye since the cockpit is on the top of the nose.

Besides, a laser pointer that can light matches and melt/engrave plastic, isn't that right up Adams ally?

Thanks!

ooohh nice! yeah i thought adam is intot hat kinda stuff aswell, so yeah, hopefully they decide to test it!
 
Bunch of pikers. ::)

The REAL myth that requires testing is determining if it's really true if being held by a bikini-clad Kari Byron will up a 5mW $.99 pointer to over 300mW…. :D
 
Bikini no, but if she was naked I'm pretty sure I could output 300mw...
