Kipkay - 245mw Laser Hack



Ah, Kipkay. I love the stuff this guy comes up with, and this one doesn't disappoint.

This is of course dangerous, so... don't be stupid with it.

Full directions here.

I wonder how that laser would look as viewed with his

Hehe, I bought an 18X DVD burner at Fry's (with rebate it was about $30 I think)and ripped out the carriage assembly. Haven't gotten around to ripping the laser diodes out of the assembly yet.
