could the IR laser pen in my first link be used to change traffic lights, turn off street light etc?

Myth isn't it? In UK at least

I wonder how many muppets who buy these things end up pointing them at aircraft ??????

Hmmm...nah. I would maybe get a shape to cover the light. Maybe a triangle Like what the predator has. That would maybe make some people st themsleves.

I saw this... http://www.megalaseruk.com/laser02.htm#808nm2 the other day and it immediately struck me that it is one of those things that I have no need for, but my life feels empty without.

Is it waterproof? Could you strap it to a shark's head?

So it can burst a balloon. Big deal.

The question we all really want to know the answer to is: can it melt a chopper copper's visor at 1000 feet?

found this, looks almost as good, but cheaper, have most of the things I need already except a soldering iron

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/756433/laser_flashli...

So come on, anybody got any recommendations, good websites etc etc?? I want a powerful laser pen (dont know why though?)

Also has anybody else got any good man toys in the same vein?

That looks fking awesome!!! I even have a soldering iron!! I'm sure I could get a spare drive off the bay!

If you want to pay for postage I can whack it in the post to you (soldering iron that is!!)

Cheers

I refuse to get into an argument about this as I don't want to... blow it out of all proportion.

Seen it, bought it. I just had to have one of these. I am going to have so much fun with this. Was at the local town fete today and the usual amount of ballon sellers walking around ripping off parents with there 6 quid a go balloons. They always have a huge amount of them that they carry around.

I am going to have so much fun watching his face as each of his balloons mysteriously bursts.

Also;
Seagulls are so getting it.
That dog that seems to think my front lawn is its personal toilet is so getting it
The cat that ate all the fking coi from my pond is SOooo getting it

open to other suggestions for worthy targets of a burnt arse.

I was thinking of things you could heat up from a distance just to be evil, like the button on a pedestrian crossing, , The door handle of a fast food joint, etc.

Would be funny to heat up a padlock on a wheelclamp and watch the clamper burn himself...

There must be lots of laser based booby traps you could set

Myth isn't it? In UK at least

A member on here (I forget who) owns a business designing and manufacturing traffic lights.

IIRC, he posted that there is no circuit designed to give priority to emergency vehicles in this country, although he could design one if required.

[Fabric 2.2]

IIRC those systems are most prevalent in the USA, and parts of Southern America. And it may be possible to adapt a universal TV remote control to emit such signals. (not that I reccomend searching for such information )

Yeah, it's bks. If I'm feeling particularly moody I will tell the taxi driver what an utter 'end he is for flashing his lights trying to get them to change at a local one lane bridge under a railway. Unfortunately the inductive loop seems to fool them into thinking it works. But they ALL do it. I hate taxi drivers. Speaking of which, I'd better order my taxi.

[The Nur]

If anybody buys one of these before me, can you update this thread please (info about burning power, range etc)?

I seriously want one now, just waiting for pay-day!

[The Nur]

anybody getting one of these?

I have a green one.. not as powerful as that one though as wont pop ballons.. but will easily point a line into the night sky even if it isn't connecting with anything.. just a perfect green light through the sky. will happily pick out churches/hills/buildings etc around a 2/3 km away though.

[Jonny671]

I so want one of these!

How much fun would it be
