The new AMS lasers are putting out 150 watts of green. We have one at the hospital. So in ten to fifteen years , "when there cheep enough " kids will be shooting them in to the sky. Great that's just what wee need .
What a complete shower of imature assholes. This clown sounds so bloody thick he still wouldn't have the sense to understand what had happened if he lost sight in both eyes. His age hs clearly passed his IQ.
wow, thats way cool but that really is too much too be looking at so close without safety glasses, just a 1 watt laser on the wall/floor/cealing should not be viewed any closer than 4 feet away and only then just for a moment and not on a regular basis, you can do biological/chemical damage to your retina that wont show up until the next day, seriously get your buddy to take the time to read about it and avoid the horror of losing his sight. tc and hag1
@mewrox99 look at how bright it is. it used a water cooled head with a modified power supply and some other modified parts to be able to crank up to close to 100w. but he wouldnt run any more than 30w because of the danger. i would have to ask him what exactly was modified on it.
@mewrox99 oh yeah and the damn thing was wired directly into circuit breakers on the electrical panel!! LOL thats how much power it needed. im pretty sure it was 240v.
I definitely wouldn't be staring at that laser, given that YAG lasers require only a percentage of a second to cause permanent blindness.
I once knew a guy who never wore safety glasses. One day he heard a *POP!!* and looked around to see what it was. Then his vision started dimming in his left eye.
Turns out the popping sound was his eye, which got cooked pretty badly. He's now blind in that eye.
All it takes is for the laser reflection to hit the eye at just the right angle.
@MaximusCerberus My god, that's fucking disgusting. But diachi is right, this is a q-switched laser than can peak over 1 KW, plenty for the reflections to blind or dim your vision.
Yeah, it's brutal. I'd hate to know what some of the higher powered lasers can do.
We bought two full-sized 3D laser etching machines back in 2004, and just for fun we used to stick our hands under the beam while they were running. No permanent damage if you only do it for a few seconds, but even there you could feel TINGLING inside your hand. The weirdest feeling in the world. It was enough for me to say "Okay! Time out!" and I never did that again.
The IR frequencies used in etching machines are capable of penetrating deeply in to human tissue, or so I've heard. It could be that they were heating your entire hand, not just the surface, and the nerves that deep are NOT used to significantly increased temperatures, hence the tingling. I probably should never try that, or else I might keep doing it! As a little kid I would constantly put batteries on my tounge or shock myself from a wall outlet XD.
I think the reason is due to the focusing output. In order to penetrate the inside of a crystal and create a 3D image, it has to pass through the solid crystal and focus within it, causing thousands of micro-explosions that create the free-floating 3D image.
I guess it was attempting the same thing when I put my hand under it. It shouldn't react the same to human tissue as opposed to crystal, but there must be some residual effect.
I really highly doubt that each pulse is a few kW - most radar systems taking up a whole room don't output that kind of power. There are plenty of similar videos on youtube claiming around 1W lasers.
Doubt me all you want. That's a laserscope 532nm, can do up to 60W q-switched. Rep rate can be safe from 15-60kHz but the power is highest at 15kHz.
Trust me, that there has peaks at well over a kW. At 60W and focused it could probably ionise air, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a q-switched laser like that with similar average powers do so.
I'm not sure that the radar you talk about uses visible light, probably microwaves instead. That's a whole different kettle of fish.
I stand partially corrected. After further research it seems that Q-switching is a phenomenon peculiar to lasers and different from more general electrical switching which makes the kW peak pulse a more plausible figure. However, average power is determined by pulse width not pulse frequency and as such the average power of a Q-switched laser is still down in the W range.
Yes, the average power is still in the W range, although some commercial systems may go into the kW range (I've seen green systems which go into the 300W range, so the 1064nm output from the first lasing medium must be at least 600W). Marking systems and cutting systems need the most power. The laserscope is a medical laser, can be modified for show use, so it's power needs are less. They can do 10W CW.
@spuzzdawg Except those videos claiming 1W 445nm lasers are all true. They come from a DLP casio projector that uses 1W 445's as a light source. People take apart the projector and sell the diodes. They do actually put out over a full watt of laser light.
oh my god i've blinded myself, and burned my balls off, shit the house is on fire and i can't see the door, ahhhhh i wonder how many people will blind themselves playing with lasers?
dude do u know wat that does to ur eyes if u star at the beam that close...lets just say either u would be wearing glasses with in a couple of years 1-2 yrs wear fucking safety glasses u bought this thing for thousands but cant buy safety glasses for 30bucks nice hope u dont go blind one of these days
Silly stoner, too bad your eyes are going to be shot when you get older because of the high power diffuse green laser light.. Buddy, GET SOME GOGGLES!!!
but shouldnt looking at the dot give you a rather LARGE blind spot? if my 300mW red gave me a bad blind spot from staring at the dot, then what does this do?
its not actually mine haha, i was taping the vid. the guy lighting the blunt was my friend and its his laser. he used to be in the business of buying/selling/trading medical/industrial lasers and made good money doing it. so its basically an old laserscope unit that he tinkered with to get it to run without the computer. in this vid he was running it at about 200x the power of yours. do the math ;-) and that was low power man. its too bright to look at on higher power.
yeah yeah lol, well atleast mine is portable, and as long as it amuzes people and myself, thats all i need haha. but it must be nice to play with one of those powerful ones.
the one im refering to as "mine" i dont even have yet, the first 2 laser's sold have had good reports, hopefully mine will be good, you just never know with DealExtreme and KaiDomain. So the only laser i actually do own is the 30mW Romison which probably puts out about 40mW
lol well the laser is originally a surgical laser.... it got a shot of steriods and now it can cut and burn the neighbors garbage cans across the street ;-)
What state are you guys in , Im down in fort lauderdale. I cant find any body thats got laser shit down here. Any way if your friend would like , I can show him how to convert his laser in to a roll around cart. Mine is just above two hundred pounds. Its allot easier to get around then the 600 pound monster. If you check out my vids you can see what i did! Is his system water cooled or air cooled?
yea ive seen your videos before... very nice :-) you should try to really burn some shit or put on a lightshow with a galvo. this is my friend's laserscope not mine, and he doesn't really have the time to experiment with it anymore. but id like to see some more vids of yours...
Thanks man, Im dieing for some dam scanners! I was going to save up for the good ones, but fuck it im just going to have to buy the cheep ones on ebay. My laser head is getting a custom cover for it so Ill be burning shit in the future. I want to burn a dam pen lasers to show theese little bastards what a reel laser is all about!!
lol werd up... when i told my friend i posted up the vid here, i guess he tried looking for some more laserscopes, and he said all he found was vids of ppl using shitty little lasers to pop balloons and light matches hahahaa .. he thought it was pretty funny. he was in the laser business for awhile so hes used to high power stuff and hes got a co2 laser that "will blow your fucking head off" lmaoo.. its not actually set up tho... im gonna try to get him to do some laser stuff over the summer.
This is one of those cases when, if you play with it, you really get a good chance of going blind :))
