"Alls I want is a garage with a fricken laser beam on the roof, c'mon throw me a bone here people." //Dr. E// |

What's the capsule life of a decent 632nm laser? |
|
| |
632.8 nm would give you a red light. Green HeNe lasers operate at 543.5 nm. Tube life is about 10000 operating hours for small-diameter tubes. |
|
| |
A green diode laser would be less expensive than a green HeNe, but still more expensive than a red diode. |
|
| |
About 5000 hours for a green diode. |
|
| |
I like this idea, especial the part where all your neighbors get blinded when they try to see where the green dots in your driveway are coming from. |
|
| |
Actually, I figured if the laser were
to only point to the edges of the
driveway the beam would rarely
encounter the windshield of the
car unless you drove in the grass.
Could also have the lasers for the
grass to accompany the music at
your BBQ. |
|
| |
Also, you could have the laser at
night on your lawn and put up a
signal that roughly translates as
"Humans Land Here." So far none
have. |
|
| |
Just remember to avoid playing around the area where the lasers approximate eye level. |
|
| |
Does it come with a smoke machine, so you can do lightshows at your barbecues / kids' bithday parties / etc.? |
|
| |
Oooh, I like the idea of driving
through fog and having a laser
show in the driveway. I guess this
should fall under landscape
instead of safety. |
