my 100mw 650nm laser cutting electrical tape

[MMKK8908]

i can do that faster with my teeth.

[mca0824]

@MMKK8908 But your teeth are not bad ass lasers. ...

[xTalentHD]

whats the best laser to get which travels a long way but doesnt burn anything?

[Flea5000000000]

@xTalentHD 30mw green so you can see the beam

[mca0824]

@xTalentHD any 5mw will travel well and is safe. I like the green laser for visibility and get one with a adjustable lens. You can focus even the low power 5mw lasers at about any distance.

[GIHO5IT]

whats nm?

[busterhax]

@GIHO5IT nano meters. The wavelength(color in this case) of the light.

[1mc001]

@busterhax Actually 650 means like infered, like 532 is green,

[busterhax]

@1mc001 650nm is red. Look at any wavelength spectrum chart. IR starts ~800nm.

[1mc001]

@busterhax Thats what I was saying, 532nm is green. 445nm blue etc..

[busterhax]

@1mc001 Looked like you were saying 650nm is IR.

[mrsheepy1000]

is that rick roll in the tape?

[hotlulu331]

cool multi tool

[w33ddr3am]

i think thats why its called "electrical tape" not "laser pointer tape"

[Lacasito0100]

i going to buy it !!!! :)

[Kalanchoe1]

?????? was that a red laser

[Bastiest]

Well I'll be damned.

We might get laser guns soon afterall! :D

[SoulshatterEvolution]

If you're wondering what happens if this thing touches skin, refer to the Star Wars movies.

[jpeel132]

@craponthelap ok so ill give you like 30-40

[jpeel132]

@craponthelap how much are the parts

[jpeel132]

@craponthelap im too lazy to follow his schematics

can you make me one and i like buy it off of you

[jpeel132]

@craponthelap haha turns out the website took my money >:o

i got no lazer :P

oh well

[plozking5]

yea i dont think any1 noticed the 2 medal bars holding the tape down ur super convincing (my ass)

[thecsslife]

My 100mwred laser is $30 and is red too... DEALEXTREME !!!!

[hiopppe]

sweet

[andronikosly]

where i can by 1 of these?...

[busterhax]

@andronikosly $100

[Devikvampire]

@busterhax

He asked where! Not how much they are..

[Klimerts]

@busterhax Not how much, but WHERE? :)

[ClutchSins]

@Klimerts Here buddy, it's a 100mn Green from gears.com for about 30 bucks...

[Klimerts]

@ClutchSins okay thanks!

[iEugene1994]

@Klimerts Cheapest way - buy somewhere stolen DVD-R drive , get from there laser diod , buy driver and optics module , and woila - 300 mW 650 nm burning laser in your pocket for only 30$(7$ for driver , 10$ for optics , and 13$ for optical drive) .

[TL3C7Y]

@iEugene1994 why buy a stolen one when you can find them for free?

[iEugene1994]

@TL3C7Y Like where ?

I'm talking about powerful(that can give 1+ W beam) laser diods in 445 nm part of spectree .

And not buying , a stolen one . Getting .

[TL3C7Y]

@iEugene1994 like the computers people throw away in the garbage because they dont know how to format a computer, thats usually a good place to start for computer parts

[iEugene1994]

@TL3C7Y Interesting fact about Russia :

There is no lamers , end even if some one is lamer , he has a bunch of friends-nerds that can help him with computer problems . So no one throws away any devices , and even if they are broken at all , they'll storage it as bright part of their life in the nearest closet .

Also , from DVD-Roms you only can get 650 nm , maximum with 400 mWatt beam laser diods . Toy for 10-year kids .

[TL3C7Y]

and when you get to 1W its not a class 1 laser anymore, you are talking class 4 high powered lasers, those dont come cheap

[dariuszdavies]

@busterhax where do you buy it

[helpas345]

@busterhax he said where not how much... moron

[1mc001]

@busterhax As for I can also buy a 200mw for £20($31)

[busterhax]

@1mc001 Yep, this was back in 2006 when high powered laser drivers weren't readily available yet.

[Caboose129]

@andronikosly if ur still wondering where to buy wicked lazers

[Klimerts]

@andronikosly You can buy 1 with 100mw for $49.95 on WICKEDLASERS[dot]COM

or one with 200mw for $79.95

[ThaQuickscope]

@andronikosly

check pickegg on google you can get a 150mW 650nm

for only like 25 $

[lemon7777]

thats pretty cool :o

[busterhax]

@jpeel132 $100

[Fantomius93]

Is that a red or a green laser?? (sorry if the question looks dumb, from my point of view the laser is red but I have never seen a red laser that has so much power...)

[BoyMaple]

Lol can somone tell me how to get those fucking lasers in sweden

[Scared65]

sure ur laser can pull it off but see how long it takes without the huge chunk off wood in the middle of the tape

[busterdgmn]

you mean the harmonica....? idk where ur from but those aren't usually metal

[KODAKGUYNUMBER1]

@DragonToko Its a Hex key set.

[Kdragonlaser]

my 30 mW can do it faster!

[tugfngjfuvj]

That will definately hurt much more than doing a tattoo the conventional way :D

BTW:

That wouldn't be tattooing, thats branding (like farmers did it with cows and horses)

[L3G3NDARYK1LL3R]

@tugfngjfuvj its actually radiation

not branding or tattooing

[tugfngjfuvj]

@L3G3NDARYK1LL3R

i know, its radiation, but it would look like branding :>

[L3G3NDARYK1LL3R]

@tugfngjfuvj yeah i guess it probably would

[highfire666]

@L3G3NDARYK1LL3R

so actually if you keep pointing this to someone they would die of radiation sickness ?!?

or is this an other type of radiation :P

[L3G3NDARYK1LL3R]

@highfire666 maybe? but I'm guessing it's not a huge amount, but if you look it up it is laser radiation

[csarefront]

nice

[strapwood]

Is it true that a burning laser(like kipkay's)can only burn black things?

[andersro93]

I don't think so, but black colored stuff is the material that attract most heat, more then white material maybe that has something todo with it ;)

[LactatingsLemons]

they dont really attract it they just retain the heat.

[RedRoost80]

yes. black attracts heat. and 100mW isnt that hot so i mean yeah black and heat.. = burn.

[mapleguy1029384756]

No i have a hacked flashlight that is 200 mw and is kipkay's project... it cuts stuff that is not white and it hurts your eyes indoors and Dont wear sunglasses it makes it worse.This video is only 100 Mw kipkays is 200 so it is 2 X more powerful

[foxtrot4697]

thats one racist laser

[howisdiscool]

@strapwood its esier to burn black thing because they kindof absorb light, while white things its bounces of a little

[Zlyzer]

It cuts through BLACK tape pretty easily because the colour black absorbs most of the light energy :P

[MrDarkHawk]

wtf man i have the same thing and it burns nothing

[nevermind1534]

If yours is "the same" and does nothing in comparison to this, you were probably sold an under-rated one.

[nevermind1534]

I mean over-rated

[BANKAICHEESE]

i would bring it too school and start burnin sum arses

[maux999]

Haha ho dont?

[ixioxi]

buy a 5mw laser from ebay if you live in the USA, 15 dollars then pot mot it :)

[stolas09]

he said the wavelength was 650nm, that's red

[stolas09]

crap, I meant to say that to the guy below you. by the way, you're saying you could make this? i'm interested

[ixioxi]

You can easly do it lol, go search youtube for 5mw green laser how to pot mot it loads of tutorials :) gl

[jpacosta94]

Its not a green laser

[ironcity1933]

where did you get this I want one but am in the USA.

[busterhax]

I'm in usa too. I am selling one that is twice as strong if you are interested. Theyre not that cheap though

[stolas09]

how much?

[busterhax]

120 shipped and it is yours with safety glasses

[nicksoccer999]

you still selling it?

[busterhax]

yes. message me if interested

[jpeel132]

@busterhax well i just bought a 100mw green 532nm on the internet for 35 bucks so ill pass

[busterhax]

@jpeel132 And it has no IR filter and is not a true 100mw of 532nm. Sorry.

[jpeel132]

@busterhax err i dont care...as long as it burns shit im good

[busterhax]

@jpeel132 You will care when the invisible IR radiation damages your eyes long term...

[jpeel132]

@busterhax i dont understand when u say "its not a true 100mw of 532nm" makes no sence

[busterhax]

@jpeel132 Actually it does make sense. A green laser(diode pumped solid state) uses an 808nm IR diode. Pumps the laser through a crystal that changes the wavelength to 1064nm then through another crystal that changes the wavelength to 532nm. In that process, there is a tun of IR radiation mixed in with the beam. A real true green laser has an IR filter that dumbs most of the IR radiation so you get almost all 532nm. Unfortunately the ebay lasers do not have those IR filters.

[busterhax]

@jpeel132 Think of it like this...If you take the IR lens off of a true 100mw laser, you will end up with a 200mw ebay quality laser. So...your laser is not 100mw of green. Most of what is burning is the IR radiation which scatters and totally eats away at your retina long term. If you were to hold a true 100mw green laser next to your 100mw ebay laser, the beam and dot would not be nearly as bright.

[jpeel132]

@busterhax so would protective glasses help

[ExtraTerrestrials]

cut off your penis

[mschillings123]

what happens if that touches skin lol?

[laserbam]

it makes you eat a computer and you dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Zlyzer]

I've tried it with my 200mw and frankly, I couldn't feel a thing.

[cooljoe411]

it burns

[jimbob1204]

a burning laser is still a lightwave which means it still travels at the speed of light. having said that if it reflects off of something (like a mirror) and hits you in the eye it will burn your retna and blind you at the speed of light, and the damage is irreversible.therefore why would anyone play around with this. I haven't seen a single youtube video yet that posted safety precautions when playing around with burning lasers. just because you can doesn't necessarilly mean you should.

[busterhax]

it would have to reflect off of a perfect mirror. most of the time the lasers are burning things, they are focused into a little dot, therefore if reflecting off of a surface, the beam would be highly out of focus where your eye is

[utubejudger]

is small nm better than big nm for power and length?

[Zlyzer]

No. the wavelength bears no significance to the power of the laser.

[RAZ0R1101]

the wavelength just determines the coulour. the millewats are the power output.

[jeanclaude1996]

WOW :|

[riper2142]

007

[Desmonddd2002]

Fey... I wanna ask, what is the minimum mW to make a burning laser, because I don't have much money, I wanna buy a cheapy one? LOL<50$ is it possible...

[benjaminschneiderGL]

no its not... theyre available from about 1000$ :)

[NickTuber]

You will never be able to buy a good 100 mW laser for under 50 bucks.

Heres what you can do though.

Buy a 5 mW green, prices ranging 15 to 75 dollars, and pot mod it.

You MIGHT break your laser in the process, or you MIGHT make it all IR light be screwing up NM wave length, but it will become a burning laser if done right (all the extra energy is IR light, DONT LOOK INTO IT, you will get blinded).

This WILL shorten diode life, breaking laser after a while. But for under 50 bucks burning lase

[Durken316]

my dad got burning laser diodes off of ebay for 100$

[NickTuber]

The diodes or the laser?

If its the laser, he stands at risk of getting a pot modded laser for an extremely expensive price.

If its the diodes, he still stands at risk.

they can advertise "burning laser" diodes, while on the other hand, when you hook it up to a safe voltage and ma, it only produces a shiny light. You ask the company, they tell you to hook it up at twice the voltage! Look, it created a surge which lasted 3 seconds and popped a balloon! now its back down to 5 mA. And your diode

[NickTuber]

has a shortened life span! It broke the next day.

Unless your dad knows what hes doing, i dont suggest buying off ebay.

[Durken316]

no it didnt break the next day.  who has a shorted life span?

[NickTuber]

Im saying it runs the risk of breaking.

And the laser diode has a shotened life span.

[NickTuber]

Also what you can do is make your own laser.

Buy a Aixiz EMPTY casing, 25 dollars for set of 10 from aixiz, or 6.50 for one from stonetek.

Buy a mA regulater OR make one, about 5 - 15 bucks.

get ahold of a 16x dvd burner for a red diode, ebay sells these alot, you can also ask neighbors throwing out old computers.

OR

buy a hd/dvd xbox360 for 20-30 bucks from ebay, or just the rail for 16, OR just the blue diode for 16. This make a burning blue laser.

assemble everything and your set.

[Jistga]

now my teacher will burn in hell

[grantkielyyyy]

It wont burn white skin, your skin reflects red light

[zach9500]

racist

[grantkielyyyy]

your a idiot

[zach9500]

its a joke buddy.. chill and go change your tampon

[rabandario]

where i can buy one???

[busterhax]

i have one thats twice as powerful for sale. i would want $150 for it with the safety glasses

[lovelyBoy1990]

i need a burning laser, i will cut girls clothes :D

[bernierinthazone]

BEST..

IDEA..

EVER!

THUMBS UP!

[DarkStare100]

ull have to get very close tho.

No match for my 300mW 660nm laser tho.

I was wearing black nilone trousers and I burned a small hole in them and it stung my skin!!!!!

[niko911]

LOL its like a lightsaber :p

[zpsh1212]

so, can i shoot random pedestrians in the ass with this?

[jando86]

yes! stings the skin... I have a 100mw novalaser

[Swissheadhunt]

how much is it?

[dhudson369]

yo i got a 240mw 532nm and i dont think it will do that i tryed burning paper with it and it didnt work will put a vid of mine on soon mine really does look like it is touching a star when you point it at one though. goes for about 3 miles 6 km

[jando86]

ebay FTL sir, sorry. a 240 is SERIOUS power for a beginner. 240 including IR light...maybe.

[thomasgWD]

mine is 0.5mw

[busterhax]

i have a better one for sale. I have a 200mw version that is twice as strong. selling it with protective eye glasses for 150.

[Raver2k8Lol]

Yo, i got a 50mw version, what do you reacon that would do?

[iwillplaysoccer4ever]

how much?

[busterhax]

i have one thats twice as powerful. i would want 150, with the safety glasses

[yomomasface]

Ignore the other dude... Go to DealExtreme. They have a 200mw for 43 frekkin dollars. I just got mine and ive burnt literally everything! lol Including my retina... D: lol

[iwillplaysoccer4ever]

wheres that?

[butterfenco]

lol, and only like 30-40mw of that is actually green, the rest is infrared!!! :p

[Cherillix]

how much was that laser ???

[Ocgamer666]

Give me one

[mazhas08]

where can i get one of these?

[KkF00]

Dangerous, yet so cool!

[atvrider666]

shit bjh1414 u wanna go to jail for attempted murder? lol

[JohnCrisis666]

ill give u 50 $ 4 it

[bjh1414]

thats would be sweet in school to burn someone you hate or a bully lol

[pakan357]

240mw is logical stronger than 100mw. But is it 100% true? /I want to buy 240mw but I dont know that 240mw is really stronger than 100mw/

Sorry for my dumb :-/

[kierancraig1]

that hurt some one kool

[lutherrammstien]

where do you get them plz

[Chamtechie]

I am working on building an ultraviolet TEA nitrogen pulse laser right now. if it works properly, output should be around 100,000 watts.

[busterhax]

how big? what are you using to cool it and to power it? sounds like something only the government/scientists would have their hands on

[Chamtechie]

It basically uses a flyback transformer from an old TV to raise 12 volts from a pair of lantern batteries to 10 kilovolts. The electricity charges low-inductance plate capacitors which release energy very fast, creating a nanosecond in which electricity arcs between two parallel electrodes, actually causing the nitrogen in the air to lase. The laser will be at a wavelength of 337nm, beyond what the human eye can see. Not great for burning cuz very short pulses.

[busterhax]

thatll burn like crazy. i have a 405nm laser at approx 10mW and it will sting the skin if focused properly. that short wavelength tears through material a lot easier, and with the power you are hoping for, itll have no problem tearing through a cardboard box, regardless of being a .1 second burst

[Chamtechie]

actually, more like a .0000001 second burst. I don't know if i will actually be able to make a 100kilowatt one, but it will still get my an "A" in optics class... xD

I'm getting a little help via email from a professor of laser mechanics at a college in canada.

[Chamtechie]

re-read isntructions, definately will NOT be 100 kilowatt. not even close. maybe someday though...

[binmanbruce]

i didnt think so cos 100milliw will burn while what your talking about is 1,000,000 times stronger if im right

[bb569910]

o yea well min is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,00­0

YEA

[binmanbruce]

so, my new un is 957,000,000,000,000,000,000,00­0,000,000,000,000

[tsiturbotalon]

can you make me one and ill pay u 4 it

[busterhax]

whats it worth to you?

[tsiturbotalon]

haha what would you charge for everything laser and time

[busterhax]

well, i have a 200mW red, professionally built by a company with 560nm safety glasses. id say around 200 is fair for that package

[puppyluv1221]

o thanks

[robbert555]

2 bad it's red, and you need extra weight on the tape...

[busterhax]

unless you are 600mw+ you will always need weight, or else it will just boil the tape in stead of straight up cutting it

[redsplash168]

it cuts it bcause it boils it and the weight pulls that boil apart

[busterhax]

yes. theoretically, it is impossible for a laser to cut anything. in reality it is melting it.

[puppyluv1221]

where did u get that from cuz i got my laser from raido shak and it doesnt cut/burn anything!!!!!

[chriswchris]

To give you the basic idea, the one you bought from radio shack is probably 5mw. You need a laser with like 100 mw to cut/burn things.

[sean1892]

you had weight to it. whouldent that make it significantly easier to "cut" it?

[busterhax]

yes. you would need easily excess of 600mW to cut it with no weight. otherwise the laser just boils/melts the tape as if its just a slab of rubber

[sean1892]

ok, its still a pretty cool laser tho :P

[tone1132]

where did you get that laser!
