I'm serious, I need someone who can read chinese to tell me what a label on a laser tube says. Anyone who can please respond, and I'll take a picture of it.
 
Chick an bwockowi, sis ninee fie. you wa fly wontah too? :hmmm:
 
I'm trying to find out info on it, since I don't know which way to hook it up. It will work either way, but operating it with reverse polarity will destroy it in short order.

what kind of laser is it ?

laser sight ?

laser level ?

laser pointer ?

DEATH STAR LASER ?

:nopics:
 
What I'm really trying to find out is which way it should be hooked up. The tube will lase either way, but I'm not sure which end is supposed to be the cathode and which should be the anode. If you get it backwards and run it for long, the (incorrect) cathode will overheat and deposit material onto the mirror at that end of the tube, ruining the laser. I've read that the current draw of the tube will differ between being hooked up correctly or not, but I don't know whether it will draw more or less when hooked up correctly. My power supply has a milliammeter built in, so if someone can tell me for sure about that then I can find out which way it should be.


*Edit* I noticed that one end of the tube has a coil of tubing inside for the coolant to go through, but the other end does not. That tells me the designers expected the end with the coil to be producing more heat, and they put the coil of coolant tubing in there to dissipate it. I also know that the cathode should produce more heat. If my reasoning is right, I had it hooked up correctly when I was setting the paper on fire and burning holes in the shop rag yesterday.

i cant help :huh: . sounds like you have a 50/50 chace to get it right .

what is it for ? :huh: looks like a bong . :hmmm:
 
It's an expensive toy-I have no earthly use for it. It's just fun to be able to direct a beam of invisible energy with enough power to set something on fire. Shit just bursts into flames for no apparent reason-you can't see anything unusual at all until something's on fire. I need to rig up the liquid cooling system so I can run it for more than a few seconds at a time.

I think we found the Moparnuts creed. :huh:

I paid $620 plus shipping for this one. That was a very low price for that power rating-most times, the tube and power supply for it will run at least $825.
 
Boothead, that IS pretty funny now that I read it. I just fired it up and set a couple of things on fire-a shop rag and a piece of paper. I took pictures:

Or XLR8R's creed[smilie=d: Me thinks it translates keep away flom XL he because he almost killed Mopey with weldah![smilie=i:
 
maybe this guy can help, no schematics on the page except for a blurry pic of his whiteboard.

"Every self respecting mad scientist needs a LASER. Personally, I have been fascinated by them for longer than I can remember; The idea of a light beam that can cut and burn things from a distance has to inspire both fear and admiration in anyone."

REALLY??????//

aahh--made by the J. A. PAN COMPANY-- comes with the book SUM TING WONG- pg. 2/ INSTURUCTIONS -PG3 - WONG O WIGHT RAY/ and directions pg 4-BATTUWEES NOT INCWOODED- PG 5-WOOK OUT AND PG5 RUTS WITE RUTS WONG --ah heck it,s all chinese to me---ORVIL:bwuhaha: :bwuhaha: :Fresh Meds:
