My Good Off Brand Green Laser Pointer! :)

This is a 5mW Green Laser Pointer that my friend bought for me for Christmas online at Amazon.com for $18.00 ($23 with shipping)

It seems kinda off brand, but is still a great laser, in my opinion, for that price.

NOTICE: Do NOT shine ANY laser at ANY living thing, especially the eyes. Just a word of warning. If you see in my video, I stop shining the laser when a car (or i suspect) is going to go by.

Hope you like the “Review” :)

Wicked Lasers “Advanced” laser igniting a match

This is a video of my wicked lasers “Advanced” (Executive Series) laser igniting a match. It is not powerful enough to ignite matches on its own, so I had to use a convex lens.

Please excuse the quality of the video. Since I did not have a digital camcorder, I had to resort to my Logitech Pro 4000 webcam.

I won this laser from a contest at an awesome website called Spectra Forum! This forum frequently holds contests where you can win lasers like this! You can visit Spectra Forum at: http://spectraforum.com

Please note that Wicked Lasers generally has a mixed reputation. I recommend consulting user reviews at http://laserpointerforums.com before making a purchase. If you decide to buy from Wicked Lasers, use this link for a 5% discount: http://wickedlasers.com/index.php?refer=26388

Burning Laser Pointer Project

Higher Quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izmUegREsaY&fmt=18
Found a guide online that showed you how to make one of these, and I tried it out. I am pretty happy with the results. I am very careful with the pointer, and keep the batteries out of the unit at all times unless it is being used. I also do not let others mess with it, as it is very dangerous.

The music is made by me

UPDATE!!
This laser dies after a while (very short while I might add).

I followed a guide from a person called kipkay but here is the problem (taken from laser pointer forums)

“I saw KipKay’s laser flashlight hack, can I have some help?
DO NOT follow KipKay’s laser flashlight hack. In that video, KipKay hooks the laser diode directly up to the batteries with no current regulation at all. One of the biggest “no-nos” in the DIY laser hobby is to hook a laser diode directly up to batteries. This is why KipKay’s laser hack doesn’t work: there is a difference between light bulbs and Laser Diodes. Light bulbs are controlled by the the voltage, that’s why the bulb itself is working so well directly on the supplied energy. Laser diodes, however, as well as other semiconductors, are controlled by the current. So, if you try to feed a LD directly with the batteries, there is nothing that controls that current. Let’s say that the LD needs 3.0v, 200mA to operate and you hook it up to the batteries (3.0v), will it work? Yes it will, but with even the slightest change in temperature will make the LD require less voltage and a HUGE amount of current will flow through it, and kill it. See Ohm’s Law.
In short, driver boards greatly reduce the risk of voltage spikes and current over-saturation.”

So what that means is too much power is going into the laser = a dead laser.

It is much easier to buy the laser!
There are several good sites for nice lasers for cheap
www.dealextreme.com
www.Kaidomain.com

They both have some nice lasers but deal extreme has stopped shipping to the US because of new regulations. You can not legally buy over a 5mw laser = a normal laser point that doesn’t burn or anything. I recommend finding someone who is willing to buy it from another country and ship it to you or buy from kaidomain —either way works

Hope this helps.

Removing Tattoos: not All Colors are Alike

Tattoos have become commonplace in today’s society. Tattoo parlors have reported record demand over the past five years, and the percentage of individuals with tattoos has increased significantly over that same time period. In recent times, an increasing number of women have been getting tattoos. While teenage girls are the average female customers, more women in their 30s and 40s are getting tattoos as well. And the reasons for getting a tattoo are as varied as the designs. While some individuals get tattooed to mark special occasions, some get them for no special reason at all.

But with this growing trend comes many who ultimately regret the decision. Some see their tattoo as a mistake immediately, while others become less satisfied with the body art over time. As we age, the breakdown of collagen in the skin leaves tattoos looking worn & unappealing. As sure as the tattoo craze has been growing, so to has the demand for tattoo removal.

Traditional methods of tattoo removal included dermabrasion, chemical treatments or Excision. While immediate and more economical, these procedures generally leave serious scarring which in many instances looks worse than the tattoo. But today, more & more dermatologists & cosmetic professionals are turning to lasers to fade & remove tattoos.

Everything from small, single-color tattoos to large, multicolored ones can now be significantly faded, if not completely erased, by the beams of light that new, special lasers produce. And, as importantly, there is little risk of the scarring or loss of pigmentation that the other procedures will cause.

In many cases, the tattoo will completely disappear. Greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished with laser treatments. However, it is very important to know that over 100 tattoo inks are in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink, how deep or how much was used, makes it impossible for the physician to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.

Often times, it is the color of the tattoo itself that determines the success of the laser removal procedure. The type of laser used to remove a tattoo depends on the tattoo’s pigment colors. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser has become the standard laser for tattoo removal. This laser effectively removes black, blue, purple and red tattoo pigment. The VersaPulse laser combines four lasers in one unit, including three proven Q-switched lasers (Q-switched ND:YAG, Q-switched Alexandrite, and Q-switched FD ND:YAG) and is shown effective in treating all ink colors including yellow and green, typically the hardest colors to remove.

Removing a small tattoo of one color may take two to six 10-20 minute laser treatments; multicolored tattoos may take up to 6 or more sessions depending on their size and types of ink. Sessions are usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart

It is advised that you consult a professional for information concerning tattoo removal to determine the best option for you. For more information, please visit Cos-Pro for more info.
