Despite the fact that my English is almost perfect, maybe you could notice a small Eastern European accent, it's because I'm Russian, and answering the question "why don't you make videos in both languages?" I actually do, and my Russian channel is here - / shhitov
(the videos are the same, so for English-speaking viewers it makes no sense to subscribe)
My professor caught me putting this together in my school's electronics lab room, worth it
What did he say?

I built one some years ago, still working fine ! Mine uses batts from a scrapped Laptop batt pack. I put in a circuit to charge them via USB. Nice video, thanks !!
I need to cut some lines in my lady panel with this laser can it do the work?
If its a scrap laptop battery, it's almost certainly an 18650 cell in there, like he showed at the end. Sounds like an angry laser
How to make laze easier you need to : -this guy -his materials -and him
Heyyy
🤣🤣🤣
agree,lol
Speak English dumbass
hahahahahahah you're right
lesson 1: find components you've never heard of.
Has anyone else done this yet? Looks awesome! Great video: short and to the point, perfect!
yes
Shipra can you provide links
Yes, I made something like it on my channel.
I wanted to do it when I was like 10 but didn't know it was really truly possible. Internet has confirmed it for me now, 13 years later
As soon I heard the accent, I was like yup only a Russian would do this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an Indian guy to me
it's a RUnglish, and I recognize my countrymen from it.
@@tedcleveland8488 i am indian, the accent is not Like this
My friend is russian and his accent is like that
I would make a mold of a tiny cylinder diner, not too large yet not too small. Fit inside the fully soldered and connected LM317 ballast. Use rubber insulated wire for the inputs and outputs. Fill the mold with resin, and wait for it to harden. To make sure the wires don’t screw up, use a thick set ceramic glue to cap off the wires going in and out, almost like that on flyback transformer pins. Then make a thin 3D printed case, fill it with a tiny amount of the same ceramic glue, and press fit it on. Put a nice sticker on it, and try to color code the wires.
customer service 5 star my friend. ty come again.
Awesome and fascinating! This was very educational and informative! MacGyver would be proud! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Privet e molodets Kostya ,,Thanks to you bro,youre English is good enough to understand this amazing tech idea youre sharing with all ,Awesome man ))
Very useful tutorial! Recently I detached a laser diode from an old DVD Writer SH-S223. It's an open type diode with no glass protection. I'm using this schematic with LM317, the resistor is around 14 ohms, but the diode (in its original, though small, heatsink) gets hot after 2-3 minutes of work. Is this normal or I have to add more resistance? I'm using two 3,7V Li-ion batteries in series for power supply. Unfortunately I couldn't find diode specs anywhere to see its operating current.
His way is a bit more complex/difficult than mine. Regardless, it worked..
Thanks for this video I have made one myself and I'm very happy with it. I look forward to more diy videos on this channel :D
What was the polarity on the laser diode? It's hard to tell from the video and I think I accidentally blew my diode from connecting it wrong. Also, if you know, is there a way to check if the diode is broken?
man your channel logo is too good.
Hello, i just built the one u focused on your video (the simpler model), but i wasnt able to burn down a thing.. is this model suppose to do this? or is it more similar to a normal 'shop bought' laser.. Tnx! P.s - i even attend the lens to change the focus, but it didnt work
What if I want to use stronger diode? Are resistor and source only components that needs to be changed (go higher)?
If I was to buy a engraving laser similar to the one you showed all I would need is a power source correct ? Or do I have to add something else... I have a few cheap lasers I got off ebay that no longer work so I was thinking of using their bodies. Any advice or help for my project would be much appreciated.
dude thats freakin awesome. keep up the good work
It's not good work, it's BS. As you will discover if you extract the laser from a cd-R and try it.
@@gerardvaughan1847 ...
Great work bro continue
Best laser diy ever
Very good vid . Thanks
Legend. Absolute legend
That's cool I removed a laser from a laser disc player. the discs was as big as 75s . I mounted the laser in a cardboard tube with battrys. it would light up the clouds
Good one sir
Hi! In your video there is a list of dvds and their diodes. Can you please give us a link to that resource? I'd really want to know what is the maximum current for my dvd laser diode
thank you very much for explaining it so simple. i have subscribed your chanel. thank you.
Nice bri
did you use exactly the IR diodes fro moving parts or did you just brought one diode from the shop please clarify
Yes, damn right, you got it !
That was awesome!
What wattage should the 3.3 ohm resistors be? I also have an old 500mw laser diode. Can I still use the same schematics, using the lm317 and 3.3 ohm resistors?
you can use the exact same schematic yes. But you will need to use a different resistor to power this. In the video the guy posted the formula to find the output amperage of the driver. the current output is 1.25v divided by the resistor value. Experiment with the resistor value on paper to find the correct current value that will run your laser diode.
Hey I was wondering if the heat gets unbearable for the later? I am about to assemble one and the thought went through my head- won't the diode just pop when you turn it on? You are effectively making a generator to reach enough power for the diode but... Isn't it too much? Or even if the diode survives isn't it getting too hot?
soon youtube will teach how to nuke at home lollll great video man
you can already do that... not that hard, (not exactly "how to make nuke at home" but pretty much) just know what chemicals/elements you need, how to start the reaction... and viola!
Yeah Like bombs
SHIT UMAR THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO
@spicywatermelon you cant use books to make a nuke.
actually there a video on how to make a nuke stronger then an atomic bomb
Great Video! :)
Nice, I tried it but with different setup, my laser comes on but can't burn, i measured the amperage i get 0.39mA at 3.3volts, am using a netgear modem router as power supply, there is a transistor inside that supplies 3.3v not sure the amps but it can light up white LEDs at 3.3v 0.35mA too, i tried to see how many it can power and the more LEDs i put the more amps it ads like for 3 LEDs mA goes to 0.56 and they stay at full bright.
Hi! I got inspired by your video and made one myself out of an old dvd. Mine does not burn But its bright as hell! I bought a Lm 317t chip and soldered it to the circuit, But i desited to remove it cause it got too weak. So i run it on 3 AAA batteries and no components. I hope that the diode dosen't burn out too soon! I dont now the point of this comment But thanks for the video!
What was the polarity on the laser diode? It's hard to tell from the video and I think I accidentally blew my diode from connecting it wrong. Also, if you know, is there a way to check if the diode is broken?
if you have a multimeter, most have a diode setting that you can use to determine the polarity of diodes/LEDs. it usually beeps to indicate that you have found the correct polarity. if it doesnt beep when you test both polarities, its broken
@@brendonlovejoy2376 Use Ohms range to see if it is still a diode, or has melted into a short circuit, or a wobble-bonded lead-in has fused open circuit. Always monitor the current using 50mA- 100mA range when playing around. If you connect it "wrong way round", unless the supply is much more than 5volts, no harm will come because no current will flow.
Nice video
Liked the interesting power supply.
Do you have written instructions and a list of equipment/part names? I would like to make one! Thanks.
In the description of the video.
Hello...Can you tell me what tool to use for putting the diode inside the housing? I am having problems
Does it burn things, i know the title says so but with the same specs would it burn paper?
Its good enough please make it clear video to under stand
Nice russian accent, same as Hollywood cinema. Товарищ :)
so good bro
Awesome, i put in on my todo list of project for bad weather day ! Thanks for you'r video, i will make a pic when i finish it :) And you win a new follower too.
you have a picture i wanne see ^^
Yeah man where's the picture ?
Don't ! That was a 5?watt RED laser diode. Infra red is not visible !!!
i want to made my on lazer cutter which things are require for it ? i like your videos very much
nice work
can i use a 1000mW diode using the same current driver mentioned in the video?
Ficou excelente, eu tenho dois diodos destes guardado numa caixa e até hoje não fiz o experimento. Rio RJ Brasil
Nice, How many long distance it will work.
that lesser is amazing
Good video.
Why you did not add any capacitor in lm317 driver circuit?
ow nice video. nice work this powerful lasar
LASER
What is the range of the cutting/burning power of this laser? 3m? 5m?
Damn! Thx for this. Slashing the printer lol XD
Not so fast ! That wasn't infra red - you can't see i.r. !! It was a 5? watt red Laser diode.
Do you happen to have any info about what kind of temperature you can achieve using a battery powered setup like this? Have you ever done any thermal measurements of a surface that's directly hit by the beam? I understand that the actual temperature reached is mostly related to the physical material properties of the object and for how long it's been absorbing the light's energy, but I'm just interested what a simple diode on a lithium cell could be capable of in terms of cutting through/into certain materials. (more specifically: can a setup like this ignite a small spot on a piece of charcoal before the battery is drained you think?)
Did you ever find the answer?
Great! You have achieved it! The space FBI are here
can i use this laser for your Arduino laser engraving project?
NICE TECHNO
Thank you so much
Pretty cool
thank you for this viedo
Merci beaucoup pour tout!!!.
Oh my god that's really cool but i want to know where i can find all that piece because i just got the name of the LCP836 but with what i can do the rest of the laser construction Thanks
Can I replace lpc-836 diode laser with other diode lasers? Thanks!
This reminds me of when pickle rick made a laser and took out everyone in the building
:(
Can I use 3.3 ohm 1 watt resistor together with LM317 with power source of 6v?
can we use this laser for making a CNC laser engraver
Hi, i have several questions for you. I want to build this project but i could not find ncp1529 can you recommend me the similar component of it? How can i find the laser diode list? How much power of the laser should be at least for your circuit? Does the wavelength of laser effect the power? Thanks already
Yes, red light carries less energy than blue light.
@@Palladiumavoid 5 years later lmao
@@fazejohncenachristogamerfaze took me five years to make it here
hey mate i was wondering if I can buy one of you please
at what distance is it safe to look at diffused reflection of the beam (the laser dot on some non-reflective surface)?
so far that theres no point relying on that kind of distance to not hurt your eyes. Basically just dont use it without goggles if you like youre seeing balls :D
The mini dvd player on my bookshelf rn: 😳
Very nice
I made a circuit with a lm317 voltage stabilizer as in a film and when it gives a voltage of 4.22V per diode it gets 3.58V and when it gives 9.96V voltage per diode it gets 9.28V . My resistor has exactly 4 ohms. Should it work that way? The electrician in the store told me that this arrangement does not make sense. What should I have voltage on the diode? Please reply .
Yes, there is a voltage drop for the lm317, it consumes voltage too.
ohh thanks I have make it this works
Dobar video,
so easy and simple thanks bro
Do I need laser goggles for this?
thank you
I wonder if you pair it with an Thermal x-ray what you can do
hey what pcb board you add in the end pls tell i had made it till connection of transistor and resistor
The "Transistor" was an LM317 Integrated circuit, arranged to supply a fixed current if the battery volts/condition changes.
very nice
I wish I could understand better what you are saying because this looks like an awesome laser i would like to make.
Hi Man, Thanks for share, maybe do You know Why my Laser diode does not have enough power?? I made the exact same conections that You do, the fist time I connected the circuit it powers on like yours but not enough to burn, so I decide reduce the resistor to increase the current but now it it almost not light is produced.
it's most likely that your diode is gone use a Buck converter with current limiter and put voltage to 2.5V and current around 180 to 200mA
amazing!
Hi great video, I want to make this and the engraver, how would the circuit differ if I wanted to use a 12v PSU?
please you give material list of that laser light in the amazon . how i buy that materials which is used in that laser light.
Useful
nice man
it is goooooooood
Will you tell me how to solder the diodes ...please ??
Зачем ограничивать напряжение для NCP1529? Cycle-by-cycle Current Limitation From the block diagram, an ILIM comparator is used to realize cycle-by-cycle current limit protection. The comparator compares the SW pin voltage with the reference voltage, which is biased by a constant current. If the inductor current reaches the limit, the ILIM comparator detects the SW voltage falling below the reference voltage and releases the signal to turn off the switch Q1. The cycle-by-cycle current limit is set at 1200 mA (nom)
Is a nice idea for my thesis from my university. Iam university student in electronics
Dude can you make a laser for me 😂 🤣 😂
Can you parallel laser diodes for more pow?
so nice
nice idea I try
Can you use a 3.7V battery with the lm317 and the 3.3 ohm resistor, and put it all into a flashlight housing? Pls answer..... Thanks
