  • A high powered laser + a DIY reverse telescope makes a device that burns things much further away than any of my other laser creations!

    In the video I start by going over the reasons of why my previous laser blasters couldn't burn things from far away. In order to do long distance burning, I needed something with higher beam quality/smaller emitter size. I settled on a 1W 405nm laser diode. It is significantly less powerful than my 200W laser bazooka, but the high quality beam it makes can travel much straighter than those huge diode arrays.
    A single spatial mode laser diode wasn't enough though. I built a beam expander (just a Galilean telescope in reverse) to widen the beam leaving the aperture so it could stay tighter over a distance. It was cool getting to use old technology on a device like this.
    For the burning demos I started with some balloons. I found that the laser had to be very stable in order to pop balloons from a distance. I explain in the video that unlike a real ghunn, the laser needs time for the target to accumulate energy so it heats up significantly. With a tripod I was able to pull off some long distance balloon pops, but it became very difficult past 100ft. The most distant shot I made was from about 150ft.
    For the boomy targets, I used a mix of several chemicals that don't don't like to be together, added charcoal to make it dark for laser absorption, and bound it into a puck with red gum.
    Big thank you to Esco Optics for supplying the lenses used on the telescopes! escooptics.com

      CZcams demonetizes or strikes nearly half of my new uploads. Demonetized videos become blacklisted in search results and get practically no views. I'd love to post more videos, but CZcams clearly does not care about their smaller content creators and I have given up on attempting to post consistently. There will be more awesome videos coming up, but they won't be as frequent.

And now you can use that to do moduloarithmetic on primes. Did you pay attention in art class and learn the core elements of projective geometry? Because if you paid close enough attention in your first 8 years of life, that's enough to take your first level of wizard. Go get a compass and straight edge and stop being so lazy.

    I am a machinist in the aerospace industry. I can tell you metal is not the way to go. It'll be heavier and won't solve the flexing because of the loose thread in the pipe. But there is a simple solution. Just put what you already have in a single larger tube to prevent the flexing by supporting your 'scope at its joints. A coil of paper in the tube to give the telescope a slip fit and leave enough scope sticking out to twist for focus.
