Dual red build (pics)

Here's another pic of the laser with the lights on, flash from camera on, and a very small amount of cigarette smoke in the room. I'm very impressed with how well this laser build came together.

All I see is a dazzling red beam!

And some skinny dude.

FYI all this laser is still running.. i have tested it running for about 3 hours straight and it barely made it past room temp..

if anyone wants one please let me know.. i believe i can put one together for a very fair price that is just a bit more than the sum of the cost of the parts..

FYI, you can get a nice digital camera cheap off craigslist

Sure beats the cell phone camera!

Also, I think I'm going to atempt one of these for my projector, I do very much like the set up. Only I think I'd like to add a 3rd diode, run less amps, hopefully giving it a little more of a life span.

the issue there is polarization..

the beam splitter cube works by combining polarized beams at a 90 degree offset. so a 3rd diode is not gonna work..

You could run 4 or more, and stack em...

Or... I think 3 to 4, or 7 or something using a cube differently...
