WTB: I WANT High power portable Laser!

[willpine]

i think we have establish buy low power at first

??? Someone - Death Simple --- NEEDS a high power laser right away??? WTF? Parents buy powerful toys ??????
Sorry -- I don't get this thread. Who NEEDS a high power laser -- for what?

Attempting to lower power by using low charge cells will cause driver overheat conditions on some modules. READ

My parents are confident in me, I've already won the 1st place on the Renewable Resources competition last year, I've made an electric water boiler with two huge electrodes and assembled it in a glass jar for sugar, making it safe-to-use with a good organised power line and firm joints.. What was dangerous in that project was the power input, which was directly connected to the town network (220V ~50Hz).. I've also done many more much dangerous things without mom and dad knowing (napalm, gas bombs, hydrogen balloons, HCl bottle 'bomb' - one of my friends got hurt showing off his bravery, now I'm working on a Jet rocket with propane as fuel, but it's quite harder than I thought..) .. and no one helped me making this projects, except for getting the materials.

So, I'm always working with power tools, knives, scalpels, electricity, propane torches.. Had few explosions and fuel ignitions on this desk, but I knew what I was doing, so I'm still alive. I've got a powerful class of Neodymium magnet 10x2cm cylinder and who knows what I bought it for.. I don't need things like that to play with, maybe one day I'll find a use of it, until then, it will stay in my locker..

And yeah, I agree about the driver issues that may come up if I change the batts, but wasn't so sure.. Thanks about that.. but I'm still not clear with it, how can the driver overheat when its job is to keep the current stable by lowering the output power, while for lower currents, high power diodes don't even need a driver if the input is not spiky.. and I don't want to change the charge, I don't know how you call it in US, but I think it's the volts (V), I want to change the current, the amps (A).

Win.. this is what She said: The current input the LD been pre-set well.
We are not suggested to adjust it by the trimmer resistor for avoid any damage to the LD. From the theory to lower the current for reduce the power will not damage the LD.

It seems you asked advice after you'd already made your decision.

Well, this thread is actually a bit old and I've changed my mind few times already.. I'll get the parts I need from Jayrob and assamble the laser by myself, or someone else will do it for me.. I hope it all goes as it should If so, review is guaranteed x)
