If you recover from breathing the very toxic fumes from engraving the none safe plastic as shown in the video. If you want to engrave with a laser buy a safe one in a propper enclosure as bdf2718 alludes to.
You're seriously like the most humble and polite RU-vidr ever. I hardly even noticed that you were probably promoting wicked lasers and your appreciation is quite clearly genuine.
Yep, I did follow the fumes, making sure they drifted away from me (and aired out the room afterwards). Never smelt it, which is a good sign :) Thanks for watching!
That's a very impressive bit of kit! I did have to laugh, it's half the size of my first laser, which was not only a pitiful 20mW red only, but also a gas discharge tube so required a 4KV strike voltage and mains cable!
I think firing a laser into a cows eye, obviously a dead cow, would show people the damage they do so ensure people will most definitely not look at lasers!
They idea would be to fire a laser at the eye(s) for periods of time then dissect them later to see the potential damage they could cause if someone opted to mess around or be neglectful around laser!!
Jennifer - Nobody said 'crow' and nor should you jump to conclusions either. As for cow, if that's what you mean, a cows eye is a nice big thing to cut open and put under a microscope showing people. We also eat a shit load of beef that means a lot of eyes are no longer needed and using them for science is a worthy cause!!
Great presentation. I want one! Seeing the purple dot reflecting back to the camera, I am reminded by Photonicinductions earlier videos that had three purple dots burned into the sensor by one of his laser "experiments" I miss that guy.. I hope he has found peace.
Yep, I love living in Denmark :) Regulations on laser pointers were tightened some years ago in many countries (due to people acting stupid with powerful laser pointers), so they stopped shipping laser pointers to these countries to avoid getting them confiscated. However, WL should be able to ship their show lasers to most countries. Thanks for watching!
@@brainiac75 Can't get powerful pointers here in Australia either. But this is not a pointer. Maybe there would be an exception for a useful instrument such as this.
@Recon.777 Bummer. I'm not familiar with the regulations in Australia. As I remember, WL can send their show lasers to USA but not their high-power laser pointers, so it may be the same with Australia. I would be surprised if Australia does not allow import of show lasers...
Thanks for the fun and informative video! I know next to nothing about this stuff but it has LONG been a dream of mine to have a laser display audio reactive Lissajous curves, kind of to use the laser as an x/y oscilloscope. Will have to look at the website more, but it seems like its getting closer! Thanks!
FBI: we need backup!! The viking has gold hold of a LASER! Brainiac75: STOP CALLING IT THAT! ITS light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation!! Brainiac75: *Proceeds to destroy the world*
Did you move the camera at 5:20 intentionally around so it won't burn the lense due to reflections? There was a bright reflection dot visible all the time.
Exactly. I didn't use my main camera, since I was worried about burning pixels on the camera's sensor. By using a gimbal-mounted smartphone and constantly moving it, the risk of burned pixels is much lower and less expensive to replace should it happen anyway... But no burned pixels luckily. It is afterall a black case with less reflection :) Thanks for watching!
I'd love to watch such a unit create a show that's synched with my fave tunes! Just have to create one that draws splats. Cue the Double Dare theme song!
saw a product much like this (maybe even this company) at an expo at my old factory workplace here in denmark. some of the demo looked alot like what they used. but they made a dedicated video with lasers and music :P it was soooo cool! :D
So good to see a recent new video from you! Look forward to some more future cool projects....the magnet experiments are still my favorites. Take care friend!
You always watch my videos very quickly after upload. It's really appreciated but I'm not recommending ditching guests for one of my videos... It can wait a bit ;) Thanks for watching, Indra!
This is one of those things that seems really cool but also kinda dangerous. Also... How do you deal with safety glasses when you've got 3 lasers at completely different wavelengths involved?
@@TheAechBomb "the laser isn't super powerful" . Yes it is, he says in the video "this is a class 4 laser, the highest class laser there is". It burns into a CD case. You're thinking of the projection, it is safe to look at the projection, but if you look at the laser it will damage your eyes.
@@iaincowell9747 yeah, you don't look directly into the beam, or point it at any reflective surface when at full power only the high-power 'popping' or 'burning' mode uses full power, I wouldn't worry if you're not using it on full power
Scanners are overdriven and probably not true 20k, but it is impressive that they managed to cram everything into that small case. My projectors is at least 5 times the size and doesn't have a battery. Don't know how many viewers you have in the U.S., but you also may want to mention that a variance is required in the states.
For my recent videos, this was one of the funniest to make. I still enjoy playing with weak laser pointers but this show laser is just on a completely other play level :) Cheers back from a fellow Nordic from Jylland!
i remember that kickstarter. it was a dumb idea....so I guess they scrapped the laser engraver cube plans? .... its neat to see a well made video going into a technical test of it though.
Yeah, show lasers are similar to fireworks. Watching it on video just isn't as pleasing as watching it in real life. But I hope I managed to catch a glimpse of how great it looks in person. Thanks for watching!
litterally doing wicked ass designs in your home brew construction got crazy easy. Just have this cube engrave into pieces if your project. As always make sure to maintain basic fire safety as this laser CAN state fires obviously.
The planetarium laser bench I worked with had a 10W mixed gas white laser that we could only bring to just over 6W... anymore power and a slow trace from the main beam (which is only half of the laser output) would vaporize the white paint on the inner dome !!
I believe a lot of modern laser projectors use a combination of dichroic mirrors and phosphors to generate RGB light from a single blue laser source. It's the closest thing I can think of to real alchemy.
@@brainiac75 yeah I just checked out their website, they have similar Lazers on the wrong side of $500 plus $300 for some box to run it. I've bookmarked magnum Lazers so when I do get round to buying one I know who the good ones are thanks :)
Yep, in the focal point with the extra lens attached, the energy density in the tiny laser dot is crazy high, so you see some internal reflections in the camera lens. I used my smartphone, since I didn't want to risk burning pixels in my expensive main camera. I also constantly moved the smartphone to lower the risk. Thanks for watching!
