As cool as all these pictures look.... the real life version looks DIM and chincy I think Dr. lava might be right.... maybe it needs more volts.... AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING "Blue" (please don't go off on me about how it's NOT Blue lol)

How big is that pic? I went a head and replied before it would load... HAve you measured the output? I have a feeling 25 to 30mW will be the top for these readers. The writers should have nice ones in them...

sadly i don't have the ability to measure output
IF I had to guess, I would say 1-3mW MAX, it is extremely dim. Tomorrow I am going to up the voltage from 5.1 to 6, and the current from 45mA, to 100mA.... Ill let you know how it turns out tomorroW! gulp....

Very nice, what did you use for the body; it looks like a flashlight...?
Estimated cost? Power Source?
MAybe I'm puting a little too much faith in this, but have you tried the LED test to see if it's more pwoerful than a 5mw red, a 35mw green, etc? ((iirc, red uses red leds, green uses green, etc, and you can compare the ammounts to see which is more powerful, though not accurately by how much...))

Indeed, I stole the Idea from heruursciences.... thanks a million heruur! Cost me about 160$ for all the parts, AND the tools to make it, as i didnt have any electronic equipment. Power source is a single AAA battery, that is being voltage boosted by the LED flashlight transistor circuit. I ordered 3 more of the ps3 parts.... so look for a couple of these guys popping up on ebay soon

well, im running this diode at 21v and .035A. This seems impossible because that computes to 735 milliwatts. Inexplicable. The light is bright, looks like about 30mW green.... let me know if you guys think this is even possible??? Am i misreading my voltometer?

haha well, the BR diode isnt... usually they DO run at 5 volts.... but somehow mine is running, BRIGHTLY at 21v.

Damn, any chance of putting some pics on a reliable host? Feel left out not being able to view your souped up blue laser

The pictures titled blu-ray1 2 3 and 4 are when I was running the diode at 5.1v and 35mA.... the pictures titled NEW and NEW1 are after i upped the voltage to... gulp.... 21volts! (it is still at 35mA.)
