I understand where you’re coming from. I understand the scope of your intent was to drum up a little support. Fine, I get that and I’m sorry it didn’t turn out that way.
…but.
The fact that you think this object is a harmless laser pointer and have ignored the warnings of retinal damage ( or the promise that it can BURN FLESH if held in place long enough ) tells me you are missing the danger it can really generate.
LOL @ ThrowingChicken. Don’t give him any ideas!
So what happened? Did the laser pointer testing fry your brain and you forgot how to access your account? or is this the Bizarro version of BatmanVengeance?
When I think Proton Stream, I think laser pointer.
I’d argue that putting a laser pointer in your pack wouldn’t make it look any more real or functional. Compound that with the fact that it could potentially burn someone or set a house on fire… this really isn’t that hard of a decision.
Wow BatmanVengeance and VengeanceBatman, you are a straight moron. I’m sorry someone had to say it. First you rip on people for playing dress up, yet your so wrapped around the whole fantasy you would actually consider putting anything that could cause damage, SET FIRES, and so on, in a MOVIE PROP! I mean come on, seriously? Unless your an engineer and are actually considering sizing down a nuclear accelorator and turning the actual concept to life but true science and tech., then your a straight moron.
We bought 200mw lasers for our packs back in April. The plan was to pop green balloons with Slimer faces on them, but mostly it was just an awesomeness factor.
The idea of crossing the beams and setting a furry on fire also crossed our minds.
Well, at least someone has finally demonstrated a practical application for it. Furries on fire. That’s gotta be better than Disney on Ice.
I’d pay good money to see furries on fire, set by viscious and deadly proton packs.
Remember folks, weapons don’t kill people. They have no kinetic energy until wielded by some irresponsible moron who makes owning guns difficult for the rest of us and untrustworthy by those who hate weapons. PEOPLE hurt and kill people with weapons…and a few very smart apes who like clubbing…and I’m not talking about the Studio 54 kind of clubbing.
If he wants to laser his pack, and if he goes through the right channels in getting it approved when it goes out in the public, and if he keeps it on safety, and if he never uses it on another human, just ants and wallpaper, and if it never misfires, and if no fires get started that aren’t put out in a timely fashion, and if nobody every accidentally looks into the laser while it’s on…what could possibly go wrong?
G
I can’t believe no one brought up roasting marshmallows yet.
This sounds like the kind of thing that must be done, just on principle. If you don’t, someone else will. Just leave it at home, OK? And be sure to post the YouTube link of you accidentally setting your garage and/or dog on fire. Do it for SCIENCE!
Just try it, next time in Ohio you might have a 1W Class 4 laser aimed at the 2k xD.
Sad part is the laser i am thinking of could be fitted into the wand. >.<
Video or it’s not happening.
Ya, I don’t think anyone here would object to some video of your proton pack destroying things with an energy beam!
They’re just panicky at you showing up with it at a con.
Did no one else notice that this clown has 2 handles and is obviously just an attention ■■■■■? His “plan” will never come to fruition as he obviously lacks the intelligence to even come up with a slightly inconspicuous name to “support himself” in this thread. More than likely he’ll just end up blinding himself permanently and then at least we won’t have to worry about any more retarded posts clogging up the site (at least until he gets a decent speech to text program).
I promise to not post in this thread anymore, all who join me will be aiding in the battle against idiocy by not putting any more quarters in his meter and just letting this thread die.
Isn’t that very, very against the rules? Having 2 handles, I mean? Just sayin’.
Sorry Vince, this is my last post in that thread also. 
maybe he already did blind himself… or would that be they? i am so confused. either way he (they) need to just GTFO!!!
So, I’ve been lurking here for a few months, and I’ll chime in and say that I’ve had a very similar idea, except mine went a bit further than just cramming a laser into the neutrona wand. Granted, it started there, and just kept growing as I kept fantasizing.
First, I want two lasers. One blue, and one red, and I want one to remain solid while the other becomes dispersed, which will kindof resemble the proton stream. Secondly, I wanted to be able to reverse them, giving the effect of a “blast stream” and “capture stream”, though this was not imperative.
The first complication is that the gunbox was way too small for this, so I devised an idea to have the two lasers within the actual pack, and transferred into the wand via fiber optic cable (yes, very possible. Your internet is probably like this).
Next, I wanted the beam to be bright enough to see in a well-lit area, which brought me into the realm of very powerful lasers. While 1 watt blue diodes are easy to come by (thanks to Wicked Lasers and their Arctic), Red diodes of any true strength are less readily available. The solution is that multiple lasers can be transferred through the same fiber optic cable, and collimated into one beam at the end. So, what, a handful of red diodes and a couple of blues? (they lose up to 50% power through the coupling process, anyways)
Okay, so, a handful of powerful diodes is going to require a lot of juice. Batteries are gonna drain in no time like this, so what are my other options? I decided to build a small power generator using pieces of computer harddrives (neodymium magnets and those really good bearings, to be precise). Prototypes of these generators can put out a lot of power, enough to power my lasers (and other goodies like sound and light kits). My current conundrum is figuring out what I’m going to use to drive the generator. RC motors come to mind, but I dunno if they’ll fit into the pack shell. Finding a spot for fuel for the engine wouldn’t be so hard, though I suppose the remaining problem for purists is that I’d end up with a horrendously loud proton pack.
Anyway, enough of my diatribe.
Only if you set an elmo on fire will it be worth it. that annoyingly cute little ■■■■■■■ has been asking for it ever since his militia took over sesame street
Just recently there are news that in Sweden, the local police authorities have been attacked with laser pointers about 80 times, and thirty of those have caused the officers to need medical help and sick leave. And this was done with a basic ‘safe’ laser pointer…
Do the math..
This is why I wholeheartedly support police in any country for beating people in the field and bypassing that lengthy “trial” nonsense.
wow i hope you are a troll…
Yeah, it was kinda crazy talking about putting a laser that could injure someone into a pack, but now you’re saying you will need a freaking power generator in there too?
GTFO! :sigh:
