Didn't the guy say that you don't point lasers at people, then he points it at the camera?
Sep 18, 2011. 8:11 AMplmqaz1243 says:
The last time I checked, that camera wasn't a person. I do have to ask what kipkay was thinking when he did that though. That could really screw the camera with a real hi power laser.

he points it at the camera because he knows its not a person. please think
Jul 23, 2011. 9:42 AMda_man0007 says:
he points it at the camera because he is not thick like you and knows that the camera is not a person.

This is going to be a dumb question, but how do you get the freaking top half of the axiz housing off??? lol And after you get it off, do you not use the bottom half?
Jul 1, 2009. 11:44 PMvandal1138 says:
Always point lasers at your face while running with scissors. Gasoline helps. Why is it that so many people want to cry about dangerous stuff? If you're worried about it, don't do it. If you're stupid enough to do something dangerous that you know nothing about you deserve to get hurt. ITS CALLED NATURAL SELECTION FOLKS.

He makes it look so damn easy , and says it with such enthusiasm that any moron is already tearing his dvd player apart. And what you really want is BENZINE JA.

I hope that you get caught using this thing in public. You can be fined up to $300,000.

....you forgot to mention running along the pool barefoot with hot coffee....
Dec 19, 2009. 3:12 AMteamcoltra says:
 COFFEE IS HOT?!
Aug 4, 2009. 11:12 AMvandal1138 says:
Actually it was intentionally left out. The cold pool water cancels out the hot coffee. Now, gnawing on shotgun shells while smoking a cigarette.....
Dec 10, 2010. 4:59 AMHakman says:
Hey, what about heating up a melon in the microwave, making a hole in it with an apple corer, and inserting pen!s into it? That isn't dangerous at all... Even better if you fill it with hot glue before you stick it in!
Aug 27, 2009. 6:58 PMDrPizza777 says:
Yeah. first, theres a harmless laser pointer. then, theres a cd diode, moderately dangerous. a dvd diode, slightly more dangerous. make a burning laser with a burning dvd diode, very dangerous. BUT THIS IS A BLU-RAY DIODE! extremely positively very dangerous. the only thing worse is an lg hi-def/blu-ray dvd burner. thats as much suicide as using that giant laser on that mountain.

Well , HOT DAMN, sidestepping the Govt to claim my right to bear arms . Thanks.
Mar 26, 2010. 5:27 PMcaled85 says:
Are you also afraid of matches or lighters? Or do you stare into the sun, there is no difference, you cant kill someone with a blue ray diode, blind them, maybe, if you point it into there eye and they consent to keep there eye open, and the natural reflex to close there eye is somehow resisted.
Mar 27, 2010. 2:23 PMDrPizza777 says:
Dude. i was just being sarcastic... im a pyromaniac... kindof... and for lasers, blu-ray is nothing compared to the laser on that mountain telescope. so please... Dont Tread On Me

This is silly , but I thought you meant that Giant Laser on the original Battlestar Galactica that could have destroyed the fleet. Silly me. Sorry. after all it was on a mountain.
Jul 19, 2011. 8:03 PMDrPizza777 says:
xDD how old is this thread anyway?
Jul 19, 2011. 4:23 PMjharwood1 says:
where did you get the ps3 part? and could u slow it down a bit. what is it capable of other than being pretty? I put a 30 buck green laser into a 35 dollar 2 piece phaser mkI and MKII combo that actually separate, after alot of cursing and sighs I got it working but it eats batteries like a crack head through an eightball. I ordered a 100 mw laser with adjustable beam(lets see if I get it ) if I do I'm replacing the laser pointer with (something else). any suggestions on making it a bit more powerful, like say , oh, uh entering into the area of right to bear arms?

Anyone else thinking Sonic Screwdriver?
Mar 27, 2011. 12:29 PMFragmaster says:
Is it easy (I know that it is possible) to burn out the diode by soldering for too long?
Mar 27, 2011. 10:21 AMdremeldude says:
This would be so cool with a kill/stun feature like in the movies
Jun 13, 2009. 9:03 PMnomooremr.niceguy says:
What do the other leads do? I assume they are used for other colors. But I know little about lasers and I'll admit it. So I just thought I'd ask. It doesn't hurt to ask does it? That's how you learn. And before anyone gets on my case for attempting a laser project without adequate knowledge, I do intend to learn everything I can before assembling my laser. Anyway, if anyone could answer my question, that would be great. Thanks.

this is two years a little late but if for some reason you didn't figure it out, the pin directly to the right of the ground pin is the RED + and the pin below the VIOLET + is the IR +. Those are powered the same exact way the VIOLET is powered from what I understand.

at last a reason to buy a blu-ray player
Jan 3, 2011. 12:18 PMthatgreasymechanicguy says:
wow. frickin amazing..but unneeded.
Dec 26, 2010. 9:50 PMangeluz616 says:
nice
Dec 20, 2010. 4:09 PMjeffreyshi says:
just wondering... if u buy more playstations and take out more diodes and stack them, will the laser become stronger? Anyway, wouldn't it be cheaper if you used a blue ray dvd player? or would it be more expensive?
