Yup, I want one, went to their website and the 2watts one starts at 1k€, even the 1watt is 700€. But, quality costs. Sadly, the quality in this case costs more than I'm able to currently pay...
Why is a 2 watt laser so impressive when for an example a 3cmx3cm CPU draws up to 200 watts? Why does it take so much cooling to produce such a low watt laser?
The two watt is optical power - not electrical power. Two watts of optical power in a 4 mm wide beam is a lot! Any laser above 0.005 watt of optical power is considered an eye-hazard, and the highest laser safety class starts at 0.5 watt. Thanks for watching!
I tried World of Warships a while ago. It was fun at first, but I quickly got to the point where it felt like nothing I did made a difference; either my team got steamrolled no matter what I did, or my team won handily without me getting a chance to do anything useful. Plus it quickly became a grind to get new ships, and I sure wasn't going to be doing microtransactions. Felt pay-to-win as well, because of that. Quite a disappiontment.
i dont think it should be able to burn through plastic without any IR so either the IR filter is not perfect or there is no IR filter. as i have no experience with lasers of that power i do not know.
Awesome video! I'm curious if you've heard that American currency is magnetic? No, I'm not joking, the ink that's used in specific locations is magnetic. I'd love to see a video of you testing properties of different denominations.
I thought it was just the strip in the bills That is magnetic? So they can tell when someone is carrying lots of bills as it takes a certain amount before it can be detected as magnetic?
Ahhh i managed to watch 5 minutes but i have a competition with my pony tomorrow and I need to prep, so I'll finish watching later! Lokks awesome so far!
I finished the video now! I love the balloon popping, but i have to admit that even with your explanations I have no idea how the laser cubes work XD it's still fascinating to watch, i just think I'm a bit behind on engineering there - I guess that's the next subject I'll have to read up on, once I finish the books i bought on physics and find some books on biology and genetics to read
I wonder what the output is with a proper IR cut filter. If you have to go with DPSS modules, I prefer 473nm...or use argon ion and krypton ion lasers.
@@pmgodfrey good for you, but I meant that this LaserCube device likely has 445, 520 and 630/650nm, all of which are direct diode lasers that do not emit any IR except as incoherent longwave heat.
Why would they remove the pop and burn feature? Thats so cool and the primary reason I want to buy one of these. I mean I can't afford one right now but I want one.
I'm pretty sure it is for safety reasons. With increasingly strong laser diodes, a 6 seconds steady beam can get you in serious trouble. But as mentioned in video, the pop and burn features are still in the LaserOS. You just need to unlock them in a semi-secret way (and accept the responsibility). Thanks for watching!
Hello there, I have a small laser display system, from Big Dipper, model k100, it’s a 20 mw green laser, nothing impressive but it’s a good effect, having an issue with the green laser, as it scans a clean green line, the laser seems to be flickering a lot, not all the time, which is why I can tell the difference of when it is flickering and when it’s not, what is causing this? Temp does not seem to be the factor, ass I have tested it with the unit both warm and cold, when cold the laser starts dimmer but doesn’t flicker, when the unit is warm same thing no flicker, but it flickers for a while randomly, also it’s driver board does not have any power adjustment knob. I am having to return the unit which will take forever, but I was just wondering if you had any ideas on how to maybe solve the issue without me having to go through the trouble. Thanks again great channel, I am subscribing, love the content and information
Styropyro is the most interesting channel on lasers, the young man has built many powerful lasers and other electrical wonders that are amazing. Check him out if you haven't yet.
They have considered that and many more things in the US in the past. Take a look at the Strategic Defense Initiative (also known as "Star Wars") by the US. For example, they experimented with "X-Ray lasers"in 1983 where they directed the numerous X-Rays from a nuclear explosion into a beam that was to be aimed at incoming ICBMs and "pop" them from afar. So yeah, your "laser cannons on warships" idea is falling a bit short of what's been considered in reality.
@@RealCadde Laser cannons on aircraft are a thing. My comment is a play on the fact that this video, about lasers, is sponsored by a game about warships.🤓
@@N4CR In a 20C environment, my cooler with 2x the TDP rating than the CPU *never* gets above 50C, 200W vs 100W. The cooler is still less than a quarter the size of that monster, and has the same number of fans.
Yes, even the reflection of a laser off most surfaces will damage your eyes. I'd say the fun has more to do with the power of the laser rather than a 'laser show'. You can buy something else a lot cheaper for a laser show.
Less than a watt is more than enough to instantly and permanently blind someone. They will also ruin your cameras so use old ones you don't care about. I am not sure if some of the people who buy those laser pointers know how dangerous they really are. The beams are dangerous for at least 10 miles.
Thanks James. I guess my channel is more relaxed and calm than the usual, high-energetic UA-cam-channels. But I guess my personality shines through in my editing style and music choice :)
I think those are way to powerful to be used for what they're used for that can blow someones retina out they asking for a law suit I guess i love lasers but not the ones that going to blow your retinas out
If you don't like the noise of the fan you can just disconnect it and hook an external fan duct up to the device and have an as large fan as you'd like. Of course this will increase the overall size of the device. You can't have and eat the cake at the same time.

That has to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen I grew up in Washington and Oregon I used to take trips everywhere and used to go to the grand coulee dam to watch their laser light shows that is literally like watching a laser light show inside your house holy the parties you could throw 😂
I also notice something, some of the Graphics content from Lasers OS are actually the same as Pangolin Software cues.. so... I can say that... They're actually COPYING it.. and it's already infringes the copyright from Pangolin patent of its Content Creation. Ironically, it's not ethical that they took away other people works
Arctos has had 15W (16W internal) in the size of a shoebox at 15kg (about size of your 2W) for 5 years+ lol and that's ready for touring show/professional use... Cooling is critical, the lasercube isn't going to be too stable in long term use or touring environments, it will loose alignment quickly. You can't just cheat physics.. adding a bigger fan helps. edit; wtf is it outputting 140mW at idle? Pretty crappy QC P.s. Usually best measure for each wavelength individually and add them up but it appears you are using a thermal head so it shouldn't really matter. Scanner mirrors are cut for round beam. Square beams typically are more rectangular mirrors. Brass is terrible for thermal conduction by the way. It's used for other reasons.
Hehe, 30 watt white light show lasers are available (but don't ask about the price). I believe LaserWorld offer up to a 400 watt beam show, but with only a green beam. Thanks for watching!
@@brainiac75 400 Watts?! The damn laser engraver at work puts out "only" 75 and that alone can do some serious carnage. Wonder what 400W will do. Imagine the power draw and cooling...
Get an "energy reformatter" . An energy reformatter is a device that can convert any type of energy in any other type of energy without loss. Using this, you can build extremely strong lasers: 1) Set the reformatter to a mode where it converts thermal energy in coherent optical energy. 2) Put it directly on top of a threadripper. 3) Start any program for a laser beam with up to 700W! Minecraft works very well to create high power laser beams with this setup.
It is a lot of fun indeed! However, I can understand why they did it for safety reasons. With a 2 watt laser, a steady beam for up to 6 seconds is serious business. But as mentioned in the video, it is still in the LaserOS. You just need to unlock it... Thanks for watching!

JustinMF they can’t burn through materials that fast verses HEAT shells and lasers are not a practical weapon for small devices such as rockets, especially against armored targets.
Hehe, it is surprisingly satisfying to point out the balloons (with laser precision) and then let a program pop several balloons within a second. Noisy too in real life! I wonder how many balloons I can get in a single run... Thanks for watching!
Honestly should collab with Micheal Reeves on youtube. He programmed a robot that motion tracks your eyes and shoots a dinky red laser in them. Js.... I'd throw 5 into that patreon to see this happen, live tested.
I bet the studio smells wonderful after a burning/filming session.
Hehe, the studio smelled like always - mostly neutral ;) Good ventilation is a must when burning plastics. Thanks for watching!

Can you try the 7.5 Watt LaseCube ?
You missed the chance to say "I'm not a big fan of the small fan."
The popping of the Bloons reminded me of those freeze time killing things from games like Hitman: Absolution and RDR.
can this run 24/7? i was thinking about projecting it somewhere in my cafe.
For anyone wondering, no they don’t sell in USA because these are way over regulation standard which is 5 milliwatt laser reg

According to Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Mario, a good game is forever good, while a bad game is forever bad.
You should check styropyro channel he builds amazing powerful lasers.
Hell yeah
Change the fan by some high-end PC fan like a Noctua. People do this for home server gear to good effect.
Best use of RGB laser on the internet this decade.
is there a link to purchase this?
What's next? Lightsabers...
As always, excellent work!
how much time would it take for any of these to burn through a mirror?

The huge 2W laser box with that massive heatsink is overkill. Compare the heatsink size to a CPU cooler, which manages up to 100W of thermal energy.
If you put the laserturd in a hot environment it will go out of alignment. That's why larger heatsinks are useful on more professional designs..
