This thing

[FireMyLaser]

Have anyone seen this before? I hope not. This was a prototype for a serous school project for a hopefully brand new kind of laser projector/scanner. But my backstabbing mentor cancelled it, after a promise to make it real. He's so full of bs.

Ok rant over. I saw this thread and reminded me to post it.

1000th post special!
I made this in may and kept it secret till I got to make a more clean and better working model... but since that ain't gonna happen I've decided to "show off". For building materials I used toothpicks, component leads, a VCR-thing and other scraps. The vids are short because the laser has a duty cycle and I used real smoke, which makes breathing difficult and stings the eyes. I do have a smokemachine now tho.


It basically does 360 degrees liquid sky, spirograph-like pattens all over the place, and tunnel. Looks nice. Enjoy!

Dam thats cool, really good idea........ but the boys over at PL have this, 2watt green scanner in a moving head http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4652

Now that is crazy!

 

[diachi]

Wow thats awesome ! though I think FMLs is better because the laser doesn't need to move

Yeah that's a moving head, it only moves the scanner this way or that way, it doesn't spin.

Thanks for the rep Dave!

2 watts of green, with DT40 scanners, a pangolin FB3 and all squeezed into a moving head.... common its too cool!!

But i must say for a DIY project yours is dam impressive, any chance of a tutorial?

 

[FireMyLaser]

Sorry, no. [smiley=engel017.gif]

And that moving head scanner is cool indeed.
