Burning Laser Pointer Project

Higher Quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izmUegREsaY&fmt=18
Found a guide online that showed you how to make one of these, and I tried it out. I am pretty happy with the results. I am very careful with the pointer, and keep the batteries out of the unit at all times unless it is being used. I also do not let others mess with it, as it is very dangerous.

The music is made by me


UPDATE!!
This laser dies after a while (very short while I might add).

I followed a guide from a person called kipkay but here is the problem (taken from laser pointer forums)

"I saw KipKay's laser flashlight hack, can I have some help?
DO NOT follow KipKay's laser flashlight hack. In that video, KipKay hooks the laser diode directly up to the batteries with no current regulation at all. One of the biggest "no-nos" in the DIY laser hobby is to hook a laser diode directly up to batteries. This is why KipKay's laser hack doesn't work: there is a difference between light bulbs and Laser Diodes. Light bulbs are controlled by the the voltage, that's why the bulb itself is working so well directly on the supplied energy. Laser diodes, however, as well as other semiconductors, are controlled by the current. So, if you try to feed a LD directly with the batteries, there is nothing that controls that current. Let's say that the LD needs 3.0v, 200mA to operate and you hook it up to the batteries (3.0v), will it work? Yes it will, but with even the slightest change in temperature will make the LD require less voltage and a HUGE amount of current will flow through it, and kill it. See Ohm's Law.
In short, driver boards greatly reduce the risk of voltage spikes and current over-saturation."


So what that means is too much power is going into the laser = a dead laser.

It is much easier to buy the laser!
There are several good sites for nice lasers for cheap
www.dealextreme.com
www.Kaidomain.com

They both have some nice lasers but deal extreme has stopped shipping to the US because of new regulations. You can not legally buy over a 5mw laser = a normal laser point that doesn't burn or anything. I recommend finding someone who is willing to buy it from another country and ship it to you or buy from kaidomain ---either way works


Hope this helps.

this was a total waste of my time. I could have been watching Kipkay

[darkein]

@Herarion9 Just think of all that time you could have saved if you didn't write this comment.

[DAHstudios]

Do i sense a salesman?

The desc you attacked Kipkay, who i bet has way more frigging experience than you.

And then you say how easy it is to regulate a current ant etc, then you say it is easiest to BUY one.

And I bet those sites are yours, your friends, or someone your advertising for.

@DAHstudios Please take into consideration that not everyone on the internet has a secret agenda.

SONG NAME PLEASE! :D Anyone else who wants to know the song thumb this up!!!!

[ZIQUIZIRA34]

Man... Gotta have this song... Perfect for Brazilian summer nights

[aLyNuSh009]

what is the song name?

[captainofpineapples]

@doppydufus just for the hell of it........

[captainofpineapples]

@doppydufus oh well that explains alot.......i realize people are getting dumber but seriously dude no one gives shit.....if it was an english report thatd be a different story...if your so smart then find this out: the average time it takes the average person to add those capitalizations and apostrophes in average sentences....then find out how many sentences the average person types in a day/week/month/year and find out how mutch time you save in a lifetime

[doppydufus]

@captainofpineapples No I was schooled in a Catholic school. But seriously, there vs their, your vs you're, then vs than, are all very simple and only take a moment to use correctly. Unfortunately people in the US are becoming dumber every moment.

PS My IQ is over 130

[doppydufus]

@cowthegreat Not sure where you learned English, you're is the contraction of you are. Do a search of Google you will find it.

[ron676767]

it looks like you have a lot of coke to sniff

[ElcondeT1000]

bored



[captainofpineapples]

@doppydufus did you bother to read anything but the last line? notice how i said IT WOULD LOOK QUITE STRANGE WITHOUT CAPITALS....also I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT IF THE WORD ENGLISH SHOULD BE CAPITALIZED OR NOT.... maybe you should get some common sense and try to act like you have even close to a tipple digit iq............lemme go out on a limb and guess you were home schooled and the internet and proper english is your life
