i feel like i've done the right of passage projector build (you've certainly excelled at it) and can concentrate for a while on making beautiful light.
i still have quite a lot of laser projects to build and the low power single mode diode builds we've been doing are better quality than anything i've seen come out of china. some very high projectors would be fun, but i mostly just program shows in my living room and half a watt is more than sufficient.

There seems to be little interest in construction now that decent Chinese projectors are available. Some of us are pursuing lasers for purposes other than display, but only a few. Meanwhile, there has been some interest in Tesla coils and in drones. So, I came across this, take a look.

I'm not suggesting a new method for home defense, but building EXTREMELY light and efficient laser modules and even projectors would be an interesting challenge. This is not something that you can buy. Alternatively, building drones with large and slow rotors that lift a lot and stay aloft for log periods (the entire show
) rather than zipping around like a hornet would be a new challenge as well.
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
