TANK007 Cu H.S. GGW diode WOW

why do you think the flexdrive isnt efficient?

for example, if your diode would need 6.0v and be driven at 200mA and your battery is a 3.0v singlecell. if the currentdraw measured at the tailcap (at the input side of the driver) was 400mA, the driver would be 100% effective! the input current is double the output current, but the driver raises the voltage to the double too.

your numbers:

18650 cell, i assume 3.9v input (from a 3.7v nominal cell)
215mA "input" draw
that means: input: 3.9v x 215mA = 0,84w

149mA output
diode voltage-drop: 5.42v
that means: output: 5.42v x 149mA = 0,81w

that calculates to more than 96% of the input electricity is stepped up and put out! I call that pretty efficient! ;-)

oh, youre right! definitely deserves a cookie!

so right now current measured at the battery is 318ma, diode current is 200ma, diode voltage is 5.50v after 30 seconds, power out with acrillic is 159mW, seems to doing just fine, it's burning little holes in a chunk of ebony...

Thanks Krutz, Chocolate Chip are the cookies are great, I wouldn't have said no to an oatmeal one either. :p


Good to hear FlaminPyro, that makes it 200+mw with the 405-g? Not bad at all.
 
Sweet! Sometimes the elevator simply doesn't reach the penthouse, eh?

Peace,

Yes all to often the elevator will sometimes hit me in the head :banghead: but then some times that is what it takes :o Thanks to all who helped to open my eyes !!! and you also Dave lol :wave:

WOW what a cool laser is that one for sale ? I sure would like to have one like that !!!
