Playing with overpowered keychain laser pointers was fun, but it doesn't hold a candle to this project. After a bit of a hiatus, I started working on the huge vacuum tube tesla coil again yesterday...

well these are certainly the cutest batteries I've ever used in a project. they perform better than expectations as well! I don't need long run times, just short bursts of high power. I bought fanc...

How big of a laser can I jam into a classic keychain laser pointer? I don't know the answer to this right now, but I will find out soon. I'm breaking out a bunch of different red laser diodes and f...

In the course of little over a week, I had two vacuum tubes that arrived smashed and had another box containing laser parts seized by customs. I'll probably be able to get my laser parts back from ...

Integrated laser diode arrays are going to become the norm for many applications involving laser driven displays and high power lighting. That being said, single chip visible laser arrays are still...

I got a great deal on this giant green surgical laser last year, but it wasn't in working condition when I bought it. It wasn't until last night that I finally got it to run. Most of the work I did...

A vacuum tube plasma generator with some cesium and lithium chloride on the output electrode. The only gas burning in this device is air, so yes, that flame is purely electromagnetic.
