Well typically most often we're just collaborating and discussing laser physics with MIT, Nasa etc, they come to us with ideas, we throw a few at them and give them some advice and quite often we get sponsored green diodes from a few companies to checkout and test for them which can be quite interesting.
We also have many builds to dangerous to post on the public forum which get discussed in there, to be honest I spend most of my time in that section there's no real need for the public area of the forum any more which is kinda quite compared to the vets section.
Also how did you find out about the nuclear powered black laser? dammit
