Finally, someone who can appreciate my lust for lasers and the compulsion to spend tons of money on them.

Though I am nowhere near rich enough to get those Spyder lasers, I am getting a very nice 100 mW green Wicked laser off ebay which I got a very good deal on.

(Also if you want a 50 mW green I'm selling one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250072979552&rd=1&rd=1

Well I know someone who knows someone that works with industrial lasers to cut metals and stuff. A portable metal cutting laser would be the best!

Yeah... the company is in Shanghai or something. That can explain $120 shipping.

Not it doesn't. I can buy 8,000 LEDs from the Chi Wing LED store and have them shipped across the world for free.

Jesus ****ing christ. They have lasers up to 300mW. From Wikipedia, this is under the old laser safety classification system. The new one did not have such a powerful description.

Quote:
class IIIb

Will cause damage if the beam enters the eye directly. This generally applies to lasers powered from 5–500 mW. Lasers in this category can easily cause permanent eye damage from exposures of 1/100th of a second or less depending on the strength of the laser. A diffuse reflection is generally not hazardous but specular reflections can be just as dangerous as direct exposures. Protective eyewear is always recommended when experimenting with IIIb lasers. Lasers at the high power end of this class may also present a fire hazard and can lightly burn skin.
These things are not toys. :eek:

If you built a rig to focus three of those at one point, you could set **** on fire in no time.

Also from Wikipedia:

Quote:
As powerful handheld green lasers become more popular in today's market, it has become known that irresponsible use of higher powered green lasers can be disastrous. Experts say that a direct shot to the eye from a laser over 15 mW can permanently damage the eye within a fraction of a second. The risk becomes greater with more powerful lasers, which are readily available on the internet today.

!!! I'm never touching a ****ing laser pointer again. Apparently even the cheap red ones can cause permanent damage. I <3 my eyesight WAY too much.

I got the original version of this for Christmas a year ago. The only problem I have now is trying to justify spending the money to get the new Galaxy model :P It's still awesome to watch, especially in the dark with the right music.

Only reason why I want that 300mW laser is 'cause these annoying guys keep on flashing my eyes with some cheap 99c laser in my eyes which is starting to piss me off.

Hahaha...if I get some glasses and some other tools, I can definatly rig it enough so I can burn them from a distance.....:D

Dude the blue one looks awesome.

My friend has a powerful green laser, don't exactly know how much but it doesn't burn things. We were still lighting up people's houses like 500 yards away:v:

Yeah he got it taken away :gbk:

Legal regular lasers less than 5mw won't. You have to have them in your eye for thirty seconds* or more to cause detectable permanent damage.


* I totally made this number up. All I remember is that it was a reasonable number of seconds.

Sir, let me take this moment to compliment you on your fashion sense, particularly your slippers.

Really, why would the majority of people buying those high-powered lasers need them?

However, when I said particle beam, I meant more along the lines of dense, high velocity particles that deliver massive amounts of KE.
