Omnichrome Argon Laser

[madmacmo]

I am hopeful someone will snatch this up and remove the increasing temptation that is getting more difficult for me to resist. However, this guy would be way too big for me to hide, and if it shows up at my house, I am afraid both I and it will end up on the curb.

Holy cow. 400mW of multiline argon for $500 buy now, and starting bid of $100...? That's amazing D: I WANTS!

Holy cow. 400mW of multiline argon

It won't do 400mW. 150 if you're lucky.

 

[Wolfman29]

Why do you say that?

 

[Cyparagon]

Because small frame ion lasers just don't go that high. He probably read the danger label. And if you know anything about ion lasers, you know sticker-power ≠ rated power. For sticker power, it has long been convention in the US (for industrial lasers anyway) to take the absolute maximum the laser could produce under any circumstances, and multiply it by a factor of 2 or 3 for safety.

It's sort of analogous to seeing a Chinese 2xAAA green pointer sold as a 1000mW laser. You know and I know it's just not happening

 

[Wolfman29]

Ah, I see! Well, that's interesting.

Still a good deal though

To bad I don't live near Ohio....

 

[Wolfman29]

Actually... I have cousins who live in Ohio... Hmm....
