    Default Big Projector

    I've recently completed another RGB projector and produced a video of the project. A video review of the projector and some of its components has been uploaded to YouTube. I noticed when I reviewed the video that my old camera really does a number on the projected beam. In order to demonstrate the divergence of the lasers, I intentionally misaligned each of the three colors to a vertical row of three spots, but when recorded the blooming was so bad that the individual colors are indistinguishable and a single 60-70 mm blob appears. And so, I have also linked to a short addendum video with the beams projected against a dark aluminum window screen and the blooming while still increasing the apparent diameter of the individual spots by a few mm vs. their visual appearance is a much better representation. I hope you enjoy it.

    Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Am I the only one who is saddened every time they watch a Planters video? I can't figure out whether its because my projectors look like a kindergartener built them together by comparison or that I can't afford to purchase such quality work . . .

    Seriously, another great video from the master - thank you for posting!
