Maxablaster in Popular Science!

[smvtsailor]

Congratulations Ra!

I opened my copy of the newest issue to the How2.0 page. I see a HID light. "That looks familiar..."

I noticed that also! Was the maxablaster a creation by someone on CPF, or did it original in popular science?

There is more about the Maxablaster here, in 'Homemade & Modified', and for obvious reasons it gets numerous mentions in 'Spotlights & HID' too.

I'll leave this thread here for the time being, but depending on how the discussion goes, it may need to be moved or merged later.

Which month issue is this? Worth getting at the newstand just for posterity.

 

[Flashanator]

Thanks,

They promised to send a few issue's to me, didn't receive them yet..

From some members, I heard that maybe the most important fact is wrong:
Maxablaster has 52 million cp output ! Not 38 million !


Best,

Ra.

If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, this links to the page 76 of the February 2008 popular science mag with the article (free):

Re: 9 mile throw

I've been searching up and down on popular science site and I see no such event... :thinking:

Re: 9 mile throw

I believe this was an article about Ra's Maxablaster, although I haven't seen the article myself.

There is another thread already running about this, so I'll merge the two.

PopSci online subscription $12.00 yearly gets you the entire magazine reproduced exactly as it appears in the print magazine Visually very striking and easily navigable.

the thing is, I'm subscribed to the magazine and its one of my favorite Magazines to look at. I don't remember seeing the article in the Feb, 2008 edition and can't find the sucker now that theres a thread on it...so I had to resort to the website, which its user-friendliness is never quite user-friendly to me regardless of which design they use it as, I mean gee...there isn't even a search box

LuxLuthor @ Ra, "Dude, you're in Popular Science. :thumbsup:"

I went to try and find it on the news stand so that I could scan and post the article. I wasn't able to find it at Safeway, Fry's, or Walgreens..:thinking: I guess I'll have to go to the book store.

I was able to capture this from some online magazine service. This should be the full text with pictures. Still if somone makes a proper scan from the real paper I can remove this...

Anyways heres the two pages:
