This really doesnt have to be about green lasers only but i was wondering if someone could explain the differences between amps, watts, and volts and how they work in a laser(or any other device). Its been awhile since i took electronics and even then i barely understood the differences, they always used some analogy like a pipe and the water was electricity, the water pressure was volts, etc.
I know that by increasing the current you will also increase the watts, right? But then how do you increase the watts just by diode alignment?
Also how can i meausure the amps of my grean laser? i know i have a good DMM around somewhere but i dont knwo how to make it work for a laser and if i end up modding mine i dont want to blow it.
Thanks
