      If you dont know about something.. Research it, its crazy how many people fall for scams, blindly buying products.
      It should be blatantly obvious that a laser pointer is overpowered... It wont be that small.
      You risk the health of those around you and yourself by being to lazy to do research in things you buy, and staying ignorant to scams.

    I worked in optics for a time. These budget lasers are the bane of the industry. Laser pointers are under the regulations of class 3R, but many of them-especially those from China-are very dangerous because of not being within the limitations of the regulations.
    IR light leakage is very dangerous. The human eye has virtually no resistance to it nor aversion response since it is biologically attuned to the spectrum of the sun. Furthermore, it is invisible to normal eyesight ranges, thus if you get hit with it-it effectively will be channeled through the lens of the eye and into the retina, and if you are unlucky-directly into the macula.

    Lasers aside, I went on a field trip to a Siemens museum, in high school in Germany, many years ago…. The thing they showed us to be careful with electricity, read scared, was a shoe. The shoe had a 1 inch hole in its sole, and was generally burned to a crisp. The story was that the person was changing an HH fuse, meaning high voltage, high power, 150+ kV at about 1k+ amps. We were not told much more, except that there was only ashes left besides the shoe. Not sure that was all accurate, but it certainly instilled a respect for electricity in me ever since. Stay safe out there with electricity. If less than 100% sure, and trained, call a professional to fix your wiring.

    I have a club laser at home from 1W, even your camera lens isn't safe when you point at it. And when we party here at home, all beams are above 1.9m from the ground. Pointing to mirror balls, or dichroic mirrors, I have a control pad with numerous of shows that can be used freely by the guests. That's the only way to don't do dangerous things. It's a controlled environment. But at different spots I do have safety switches, when pressed you have to reset them with a key. When I do maintenance on that thing, I use various safety goggles. Like realign the beams, because this is a 3D laser, sometimes the beams go out spec. Even if the locking screws will have loctite on them. It depends on the scanning frequencies. So maintenance is very important. This laser is via DMX protocol. I also have scans effects etc, dim packs for analog lights, switch packs to turn on and off mirror ball motors. And black light tubes. And a smoke machine. I once worked as a light engineer in different clubs, it stays with you the rest of your life and my friends like it too.

    Solving the "green gap" and using those findings to improve the energy efficiency of white LEDs would definitely be considered for the Nobel Prize in physics.
    One reason white LEDs aren't as efficient as we wish is that we need phosphors to turn blue photons into the entire spectrum, and the energy difference is wasted as heat. The problem we're facing right now with LED light bulbs isn't the energy efficiency, but how you deal with the waste heat of converting near-UV light into white light. Any heat losses are insignificant compared to an incandescent lamp, but LEDs are known to break down faster when they're too hot, which limits both the efficiency and the lifespan of LED lamps. Sure, you can underdrive LED lamps such that lifespan isn't a concern, but you're just losing lumens as opposed to a full-spectrum LED lamp.

    I would generally agree with the wood pyrolyzing because the pyrolysis-gases are released so quickly due to enormous temperature they form a protective no oxygen containing layer above the wood. Alhough in this layer no oxygen is present the gases are pushed back through the laser in axis thus rising in temperature far above their autoignition temperature. When they finally mix with air and thus with oxygen ignition is imediate and does not require any ignition source. So both processes are hapenning at the same time pyrolysis and the flame(oxidation).

    In a commercial setting I work with 50mW green lasers. We use the polarizing slides as shown in the video, and a 50mW green laser will damage them. Found this out the hard way when trying to check the polarization of one. Had to use an attenuator from the laser power meter before the polarizer to check the polarization angle.

I think you would have some really interesting takes. Maybe even just doing like a “deeper dive” kind of thing into some of those videos. Like yeah Grady talks about the shape of the towers and the application in nuclear power, but I still have so many questions like what kind of additives or qualities are changed in the water, what kind of heat exchangers do they use, what kind of turbines are used and how is the steam captured before being sent to get condensed.

Looked into the electronics and found they were about 100x more powerful (off the top of my head number trying to remember 12 years ago) than a red laser. And yeah, they are all IR I think and you can't see that wave so you don't realize you are doing something that will fry your eyes because you can't see it.

    @parva777 5 днів тому +3

    Dear T. Folse Nuclear, You often wonder why nuclear waste is almost always depicted in green in comics or illustrations. The truth is, this visual representation doesn’t stem from the reality of radioactivity itself but from a deeply rooted collective symbolism: green represents toxicity, poison, and pollution.
    Green: The universal color of poison and decay
    Historically, green has been associated with danger and unhealthiness. Witches in fairy tales, for example, are often described with greenish skin, as in The Wizard of Oz. This color evokes their malevolence, their connection to poison and corruption. In comics, this association is amplified:
    Poisons: Bottles of deadly elixirs or hazardous substances often feature green liquids, reinforcing the idea of an insidious death.
    Pollution: A polluted river or toxic swamp is typically colored green, suggesting chemical spills or industrial waste.
    Foul odors: Cartoons and comics often use green fumes to depict bad smells, like dirty socks, rotten eggs, or garbage.
    Mold and rot: Fungus, mold, or spoiled food are almost always depicted with greenish hues, signaling biological danger.
    Malevolent creatures: Goblins, trolls, and other malicious figures are often shown with green skin to underline their corrupted or toxic nature.
    Biological toxicity and the collective imagination
    Green is also tied to what is naturally toxic or dangerous. In nature, certain visual cues use green to signal potential threats. For example:
    Green moss and lichens on stones or trees are associated with dampness, mold, and decay.
    Bacteria and viruses in media are often illustrated in green, even though they are invisible to the naked eye in reality.
    Corrosive substances, like acids, are frequently imagined as green in fiction, reinforcing their alarming nature.
    Green as a universal visual language in fiction
    When it comes to nuclear waste, green serves as a visual shortcut: it doesn’t represent radioactivity itself but rather toxicity. Artists use this color to suggest that a substance is not just deadly but also corrupted, abnormal, and harmful to the environment and life. Here are some iconic examples:
    Radioactive barrels in series like The Simpsons don’t glow green to simulate real radioactivity (often invisible) but to amplify the notion of a deadly poison.
    Toxic rivers in comics like Batman or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are almost always green to signify environmental danger.
    Even mutagens (substances that transform living beings, as in Hulk or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are green, emphasizing their corruption and harmfulness.
    Conclusion: Green, a convention for "toxicity"
    When you see nuclear waste depicted in green, it’s not the radioactivity being emphasized but rather the idea of toxicity, pollution, and poison. This color works as a universal visual language, an intuitive way to signal chemical or biological danger in a fictional universe. If you look closely, you’ll notice that green in these works symbolizes invisible evil far more than it represents scientific radioactivity.
    In summary, green doesn’t glow for science-it glows for the collective imagination! 😊
