[QUOTE=Transverse;29629157]How did I know it was going to be a Kipkay video[/QUOTE]
Seems like we're both psychic.
Funny story about "don't point lasers at the sky" thing. When my dad was a cop him and his friend on duty would record the speeds of random things when they were on a break, and his friend thought it'd be a cool idea to try and get the speed of an airplane. Shortly after pointing his speed radar at an airplane in the sky and pulling the trigger the airplane did a 90 degree angle straight up, did some evasive maneuvers and fucked off. His department got a call from some military base asking if someone HAD pointed a laser at one of their planes, because apparently it triggered the automatic defense mechanisms and caught a pilot completely by surprise. I don't remember the full story, I'll ask him when he gets home, but that's what I can remember off the top of my head.
xankriegor.. that story has been on the internet for years.. either your dad was the guy in the story or you made it up

I think you're talking bullshit, son, because that was in the news roughly a year ago, and the automatic defense system almost fired a missile at the policeman. (But the pilot prevented that)

Fucking ninja.
I want that thing in my avatar... Oh wait.
Yeah, very cool.
Turn it on its side and it's a solid light bridge from Portal 2.

My dad's friend was most likely the guy. If the story happened in Arizona then yes, I'm telling the truth/have been told the truth/ whatever. My dad isn't really one to lie about something like that, he's saved many lives and doesn't really have to lie to compensate for anything. He's got many awards for his time in duty.
Also he didn't say anything about finding out that they were going to be hit by a missle, he just said it rocketed straight up almost instantly.

What kind of plane was it?
I talked to my dad, it was an F-16, in the late 80's early 90's, he actually wasn't with his friend when it happened, he was recovering from being hit by a truck. When he was recovering his friend called him and told him about the trouble he got himself into
My dad's story is older than that and he's been telling it since before 1999, I remember him telling me it a few times when I was a kid. Close stories so I can understand why you think I'm lying but I'm not. Well, this thread isn't about my dad's friend so I'll stop posting now.
whoa.
kipkay sounds so cheesy.
I was so bummed when bre pettis quit and kipkay hosted the Make video podcast.

Is it bad I read that as "Butt Penis"? :ohdear:
Even though it's impossible, I was hoping he made a real one somehow.

My friend and I had an idea to make something like this. Never got anywhere near done because we tried to make the plasma cutter model from scratch.
i wish it wasn't so tiny
It would be cool if there was a life size model.
going to do this
Just to let you know, buying a ~$40 1W 445nm diode and powering it from two AAA batteries is like buying a big gun to shoot BBs. Kipkay had to set those drivers to ~100mW respectively like a faggot.
Here's a better website, [url]http://laserpointerforums.com/[/url] You'll find a ton of info here, in fact I ordered my parts from the people that go there.

He's making it to pop balloons and light matches, not kill his pets.
There's quite a lot of people on LPF, over ~5000 active users. Never seen a Laser forum so active.
I wonder how many burn marks he has on his walls.

With all that smoke to illuminate the lasers he will

And it was faked because missiles don't automatically arm themselves
