      Can you try to focus all the eight lizers in a point of the twisted lins

    Awesome build! Using an actual gun stock makes it a lot sturdier and cooler looking than my build on an airsoft gun...lol. Be careful with all that power now...like I've said there really isn't a good reason to own that. It took years for the scar on my hand to go away after grazing the beam of my 40W gun (with a lens). Your gun was missing one major part though... the moth.

    • @styropyro

      also...when you scoped that LED driver did you do it while it was driving a LED/laser diode? I never trust LED drivers for laser diodes, and typically use simple linear drivers instead. Maybe that's what popped one of those diodes.

    5:46 lasers are not affected by distance in the same way a normal light bulb is because all the individual photons are moving in the same direction so the intensity stays almost the same for a very long distance, whereas with a light bulb the photons spread out in all directions and therefor decrease in intensity the further away you are from the source. There would be an extremely small change in speed that the balloons pop due to the laser travelling through more air and possibly efficiency from the diode heating up but it would be an extremely small difference in in time.

    • @Taunus-Tim
      @Taunus-Tim Před 6 lety +11

      @neft16 Před 5 lety +3

      As he said they have poor divergence, the beams are not parallel, so in fact distance is very important. They will have a very high power at the focusing point, but away from that the beam is spread over a larger area so might not be able to achieve the level of heating required to pop the balloon.

    The thing is that there is really no purpose to a handheld continuous-beam lasergun. Megawatt-class beams are doable, even cheap, if you're talking about very short pulses, and that will craterize whatever it hits, even mirrored surfaces. Single Joule pulses a microsecond long are strongly preferable to expending hundreds of Joules trying to just dump heat into the target for several seconds.
    Like, from the standpoint of stopping power vs anything biological, 1-Joule explosions on the surface of the target far exceed the effect of sweeping a few hundred Joules over a wide area in several seconds. The former probably does similar nerve damage to a bullet impact, albeit without harming internal organs. The latter does nothing of the sort.

      Actually, I can think of several uses - it depends on what you mean. At lower powers (you don't want to burn up what you're testing, after all), portable RAMAN is one really good use for CW laser energy (I'm working on a set of adapters for my optical spectrometer that uses different color diode lasers running between 50mw and 150mw to do portable RAMAN spectrometry). VERY sensitive movement detection is another use, and I've got some other ideas for moderate power CW lasers that I might explore some time. I was a bit surprised at the amount of charring from a 5w blue laser diode - my 50mw range blue module starts wood smoking almost instantly - but then, it's also focused. I would think 5w of blue laser energy in a small spot would be flaming almost instantly. Now, a 40 watt SINGLE BEAM would have several good uses, especially if it could be focused. (Tripod mounted might be a bit more useful than hand-held for something like what I'm visualizing.) (Laugh) In fact, I wish I had something like that a couple of years ago - we had a tree die and couldn't afford the prices asked by local tree firms to remove it. If I'd had a laser capable of burning wood at (let's say) 100 feet, it wouldn't have caused us the grief it did. I could have cut through the branches (even if it took time) small section by small section, rather than having them come crashing down in a single piece!
      Pulse lasers have plenty of uses as well - I've been gathering the parts to build one for Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry. I hope to get at least a joule out (using a YAG rod). Maybe I'll have some of this going by the end of the summer! I get the laser built - I've got some other ideas I'm going to experiment with.

      Pulse beams has is strengths as do continuous beams. It depends on the target and the material it's irradiating on, and what wavelength you're using and the beam quality...

    • @Soabky
      @Soabky Před 6 lety +2

      Assuming it’s a normal combustion reaction (and not something like magnesium reacting with oxygen for whatever reason), then you would actually still have carbon dioxide and water after. Not to mention “air” would have filled in that space quickly. It probably has more to do with actual damage done to the drone than any sort of lack of air.

    • @TKO593
      @TKO593 Před 6 lety

      Lagnak I have a mavic as well. They don’t drop that easy unless you can stop the props from spinning. I’ve seen them fly with the props cut in half in torture tests.

    • @upbe4trecon107
      @upbe4trecon107 Před 6 lety +1

      TKO593 actually I think it was just the combustion in general throwing the drone off to a vertical angle loosing lift

    • @TKO593
      @TKO593 Před 6 lety

      UPBE4T RECON these things can fly with 25mph winds pushing on them. The gyro and gps hold it in position. You could push it hard with your hand and it self corrects. I don’t think the explosion had enough force to push it to a point where it could not regain its composure.

    If you diffuse the laser and use a bandpass filter for that range it's great for high speed illumination especially in 620nm and 808-850nm range will reduce diffraction or obscurence from flame and muzzle blasts

    @Spirit532 Před 6 lety +37

    "40 watt" is misleading. This is an array of eight 5-watt diodes, each with its own beam. It does not deliver 40 watts to anything besides the heatsink.
    The only way to get a true output of 40 watts is to use a fiber-coupled array system or a CO2 tube.

    • @AltMarc
      @AltMarc Před 6 lety +13

      Even the 5W is misleading, one of these 5-7W diode (NUBM44) is made with 4+ emitters at 1.5W each...
      In reality this contraption is just a 32x 1.5W laser, that have an utterly bad beam quality.. Even a Na street light would have more laser propriety than this.
      But what do you expect from this "wix" ad.

    • @Spirit532
      @Spirit532 Před 6 lety +1

      The divergence isn't too bad on the NUBM44s, but it's definitely not as perfect as pure single-cavity systems. Fiber-coupled blade stacks still perform better though.

      It's nubm06 and you can push them to 5W. Also I mentioned it was 8 5W diodes in the video. If you want to get so pedantic that each diode has multiple emitters that's just ridiculous.
      I bought a 30w 975nm fiber laser on eBay and I'm going to mess around with it and see how easy it is to collimate and focus. If it goes good I'll splurge and get one of the more powerful modules. Or just combine a few of the 30w ones. I hear working with fiber is a pain in the butt though.
      I also have a Nd:YAG laser, you can see it behind me in the opening of the video. It came from a Hellfire designator. I can't figure out how to trigger the tube though. The cavities filled with oil.

    • @AltMarc
      @AltMarc Před 6 lety

      I tried it's predecessor, a blue 3W in my cnc-pcb-laser in one direction I got 50micron grooves in the other 200microns (0.2mm) too bad for smd.
      I did go back to a 600mW UV single emitter to get 45microns in any direction, but it's a its limit to remove paint on copper cladded boards.
