Hard Drive Laser Show (Hacked Gadget)

Hard Drive Laser Show (Hacked Gadget)

A laser is a mechanical device that produces coherent radiation. The term "laser" is an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A typical laser emits light in a narrow, low-divergence beam and with a well-defined wavelength (corresponding to a particular color if the laser is operating in the visible spectrum). This is in contrast to a light source such as the incandescent light bulb, which emits into a large solid angle and over a wide spectrum of wavelength.

You could probably cut one of the old platters in the drive into a square and use that as a mirror too

Cool. I will do this with one of my old discs, just need a laser. Question: The wire from the arm to the mirror, does it go on the outside of the "leg" or between the mirror and the "leg"? And one more thing: Western Digital? ;)
