2.5amp stock. funny thing is I took it to 5amp and it died. When It had cooled down it came back on and at 2.5amp it light output hasnt dropped any further.
Oh man I’m excited. I have the W10 and the W30 and they’re awesome. The W30 is like holding a “whitesaber”. Looks super cool to flick the beam around when it’s snowing
There’s a dude on YouTube who built a 200 watt blue “laser bazooka”. How cool would it be to build an “Imalent MS18”sized LEP light powered by that thing? As long as I’m wishin’ Focusable lens that lets you shoot a wide beam, one the size of a pencil, or focused down to a point (:
Ceramic phosphor wheels used in cinema projectors can withstand from 100 ~ 1000W of 450nm output.
Operate at 450lm/W
Reach cd/mm2 starting from 2000 and up to 10000
Crazy stuff.
This system I am making will be operating at around 170W 450nm output.
Ceramic static phosphors (not wheel) thermally mounted on copper with TEC cooling can only reach around 600cd/mm2 and around 1100cd/mm2 with wavien collar.
Is it possible to use a diamond window over the phosphor and and drive the phosphor through the diamond to provide cooling at the front surface of the phosphor? You would have to find a way to thermally couple the phosphor to the diamond. I imagine you could drive it much harder if you could find a way to make it work.
Totally random but the guy who built my 6 watt blue told me a while back he could build a 50 watt laser rifle. I’ll have to look up the video - he arranged the diodes so that the beams combined somehow.
Have you guys seen the white lasers? Styropyro had a setup where he merged a red, blue, and green beam (I think…) and the beam looked white. Maybe that could bypass the need for the phosphor altogether
Wouldn’t that just make it a laser and due to its rating it would be ILLEGAL for people to own anyway…. In general if I’m not mistaken lasers with a rating more than 5mW is already illegal at least in Canada and I assume America is under similar legislation.
