What would happed to a 12volt extractor fan on mains voltage ? What would happen to a normal extractor fan on the wrong voltage ? Can you show us what would happen ?
Amazingly educational, loads of things I never knew about. Thank God there are people with brains producing content for this site, as it stands TH-cam is becoming a babysitter site for under 2 year olds entertained 24/7 by iPads. Children who don't play with toys but only know how to swipe on a touchscreen. It's a terribly sad social experiment.
leokimvideo blimey mate, how do you find the time to watch videos?I have a full time job to attend to as well as make the odd video here and there I guess, however I'm amused with a few of your videos mate, they babysit the under 50's especially when the Dyson comes out to meet spiders:)
***** I'm very selective in who I watch, but when it comes to a strip down like this you're showing stuff that's never properly explained. Not every day you get an insight into this sort of machine from someone who knows their craft. I'm not after the free HeNe giveaway, I just love the free info. Sadly Lasers where live have basically been banned.
@@Photonicinduction Did the laser have a giant cooling system that was simply too big and a waste of space? Nowadays, a blue 100w laser is probably more powerful than the huge laser you disassembled.
Your videos are truly inspiring and I love learning new things about electricity (and light) with each new video. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos to show that electric and light power can be fun in a naughty way. HeNe
Photon, you need to go to the BBC and get a TV series made around subjects like this. The way you explained how it works was a lot of times way above my head but if you had had a show where you allowed average intelligent numb nuts like me to even half understand how electronics work I think you would be bigger than Jeremy Clarkson. Love you work and makes me want to go to my man shed and destroy stuff.
Alex Taskov Hi Alex - There is a problem with your suggestion... the BBC's machine for censorship will run out "bleeps" when Photon uses more and more anglo-saxon...especially the word c**t
***** I don't know why, but your voice always triggers an ASMR type feeling for me. Does anyone else experience something similar when watching Photonicinduction?
HeNe is so obsolete... those diode lasers runs on batteries and does the same thing. I seen a video about the first CD players, and they were quite large because they used HeNe lasers or something of the sort (actually CD players uses infrared lasers, DVD uses red lasers). Now with laser diodes you got really tiny CD players that can fit in your pocket. But who needs optical discs or even bluray when you got solid state memory? By the way when I was a teenager, back in the 90s they were saying how blue or green laser diodes had to be cyrogenically cooled and all that. Now we got bluray lasers or laser diodes that didn't need DPSS setup or anything. You gotta thank quantum mechanics for this as these diodes are made due to some quantum tunneling principle. I think not long after gas lasers will likely be rendered obsolete because gas lasers often require cooling, especially for higher power applications. Like the K40 laser, requires an aquarium water pump to run water through the tube at all times. I imagine in the 80s if they had a laser pointer it was a big freaking thing that needed fiber optics to work as a laser pointer.
the passion of interest in "how things work " if only i could know how get my hands on such equipment with only pork fries & a bag a trout! love the teardowns with detail ! ya inspire me &my son ,from a us boston brain!
It's always fascinating to see a complex machine taken apart, exposing its inner workings and components. When something like this laser is fully assembled, to the layman it can look like a mysterious and incomprehensible thing, but once you bust it open, it's "just" a lot of circuits, metal bits, mirrors, and a crystal rod, which makes it all the more amazing to see what it's capable of. HeNe
***** Andy, LASER is "Light Amplificaion by *STIMULATED* Emission of Radiation" - notice my accentuation of the word *STIMULATED* - you said "simulated". I am sorry if I sound pedantic, but a *simulation* in place of STIMULATION, wouldn't do a thing.
This guy is the best, i am an engineer in the states and i must say i respect what you do. your passion is crazy cool, "don't stop man full speed ahead i know what im doing here". i build operate and manufacture CNC machines as a hobby i would love to see you power one of my machines HAHAHA. Gigantic servos going 4 times the capacity with spindle and cutter red hot. Don't stop my friend, godspeed.
Great video. Brought back some memories of the times I built, tested, and repaired NdYAG lasers. Pulsed, in the 80mJ to 200mJ range. And some small 20 mJ medical lasers. Very similar cavity configuration.
Nothing like a good old fashioned laser; simple to understand, especially when you explain it so thoroughly - good job :) A semiconductor laser on the other hand... not so easy! HeNe.
I *think* the copper box became oxidized like that because the cooling system was ran on regular plain-ass tap water. It's the same thing as with PC liquid-cooling systems : you would never run H2O through it since it eventually eats away at all metal parts, especially if the system contains parts made of different metals, since galvanic corrosion would occur (I think that's what they call it).
Its funny how that goes from one extreme to the other - the HeNe (no not chasing it, I already have one, give it to someone else) with its little 12V brick supply, and no cooling what so ever, to the ND:YAG that kept it company that uses 100's of volts, water cooling, air cooling, and generates 100 watts+ of infrared light. 3 cool light sources in one box. I was expecting to see a medical grade isolation transformer in there as well :) Great video as always. Thumbs up :)
HeNe, your uploads are the best. And did you know, if you click on your YT video and press 1 to 9 you can scroll (skip) through it! Nice to go back and see a fragment again (and again). . .
You talk about that gear like it was parts from an old TV set... Most of us will never see exotic stuff like that and almost all of us could not afford it! Thanks Photon! HeNe
HeNe, this would actually be kind of awesome because I've been living in a tiny apartment for the better half of a year and all my electrical stuff has been put in storage, now that I got my stuff back from storage, I found out that most of my work had broken during all that time in the warehouse due to heat. Now that it's summer and I have nothing to work on, this would be perfect to do some of my projects on :)
Really cool video, interesting to see the different components and having you explain what they are/what they do. You should do more strip down videos like this!
Uh, how exciting :D I'm currently doing a traineeship in an electro business, building circuitry to get to know the basics. I'm really enjoying it so far! HeNe ! :D
HeNe pretty please Andy, would be fantastic souvenir for my office/workshop. Would make my apprentices day. Awesome video, I really liked this and learnt a lot thank you
I have an SSY-1 Nd:YAG laser rod of about the same size from a tank rangefinder, but it is pumped with a flash lamp instead of a water-cooled continuous lamp. I am in the process of getting even more capacitors for a power supply from Walgreens disposable cameras (you can get those for free, they throw out the cameras once they take out the film) so I can power it in pulses. My unit, when done, will be handheld and in the format of a laser gun. The pulses are about as powerful as the laser you are using, but they only last for a fraction of a second.
HeNe, and you should totally do some more cool vids with your huge capacitor! Like a can crusher or something. Anyway, great vid as always and I look forward to more.
***** HeNe Nice looking power supply, the big one that is, looking forward to seeing you trying to light up the "Big (xenon) Lamp" with it! Then I'd like to see it turned into a torch, guess you'd need to run it around on a golf cart, or somesuch, to make it "portable". Question is, would you drive it from a bank of LiPos or stick to good old lead-acid technology?
hey Andy, the colors on the black, red, and white are correct for the US, and if it was 480v it would be brown, orange, yellow. where did you get your electrical education, your pretty smart!!! love you vids, hope your well, keep up the good work. I purchased a 40 watt CO2 laser, I'm setting it up as a laser rifle for the zombie apocalypses, hey it's coming.
HeNe - great vids mate glad to see you all well and back to normal again, also i have a old av amp with a couple of big caps, was wondering what you could blow up if you joined them together i think there 15,000 uf each at 71v
love this bloke. when he's not blowing things up supercharging disability scooters or setting fire to lawn mowers/garden furniture he's proper clever. more clever stuff please.
I just realized rewatching this vid - The Brown / Gold coloured resistors on the heatsink look just like the ones I got in a LED indicator light set for my car.
this channel has taught me more about electronics than my college course on the same topic
00Skyfox won the laser th-cam.com/users/00Skyfoxfeatured videos due out this weekend.Big thanks best regards to you all.
What would happed to a 12volt extractor fan on mains voltage ?
What would happen to a normal extractor fan on the wrong voltage ?
Can you show us what would happen ?

You could probably set up the most ridiculous water cooling loop with that setup. I'd do it.

HeNe- Glad to see you're making videos again. It's always awesome to learn something about electronics, and of course, see stuff get popped. ;)
HeNe What are those ferrite for that are at the end of the laser? do they do some sort of RF filtering or something?
this was awesome to watch - thanks for spending the time and effort to tear it down for us fella :)

HeNe . It's wonderful to be able to learn about this stuff and then also see crap get blown up! I love your channel!
HeNe: i love your content man, all those fires and spark
HeNe, Very nice teardown and explanation of the system, keep up the good work my friend. So glad to see you feeling better.
nice to watch these vids again
Your laser vids have always been my favourites
HeNe. You do some of the best "exotic" teardowns on the web, keep it up. Cheers mate.
HeNe and i an soo glad you brought back that lamp. Been waiting for almost 2 years i cant wait to finally see it at full power!
HeNe! Excellent stuff as usual, love how informative this was, and lots of goodies there too by the looks of things
One the best Photon videos ever, hopefully one day he will return.
Great video. Brought back some memories of the times I built, tested, and repaired NdYAG lasers. Pulsed, in the 80mJ to 200mJ range. And some small 20 mJ medical lasers. Very similar cavity configuration.

HeNe - One of the coolest things you've showcased as if it was something out of a movie.
HeNe, cant wait to see what that little rod can do when pumped by the slightly bigger bulb :)
Great stuff, nice to see you up and about again

HeNe THATS AWESOME!!! Always wanted to see a helium neon laser like that!
HeNe its awesome to see ur back and blowing stuff up!!
HeNe Glad to have you back Photon. hopefully the recovery was good
HeNe that device is absolutely awesome. I love when the cooling system for a device is bigger than the device it's trying to cool.
HeNe, your uploads are the best. And did you know, if you click on your YT video and press 1 to 9 you can scroll (skip) through it! Nice to go back and see a fragment again (and again). . .
So cool! Always knew how a laser worked in theory -- never seen one taken apart and explained like that. Excellent vid! HeNe
HeNe Thanks Photon for all of your great videos! I always learn something neat from you.
Awesome Teardown! Keep up the great work! HeNe
HeNe. ive been watching your videos for quite some time now. they are absolutely hilarious!!

what a brilliant thing it is, ive always wanted something like this but never had the opportunity to get one, thanks for this. i live in Kent BTW
Still love watching your videos. This one I do like a lot because of the detail you put/got into it. Cheers.
Ahh love that HeNe tube! Love you man keep posting its great!
HeNe
This was very educational. I never thought such lasers were so simple in principle.
Thanks for explaining how a laser works mate. Awesome work. HeNe
Amazingly simple.. I never would have thought it. Cheers for sharing photon :)

HeNe pretty please Andy, would be fantastic souvenir for my office/workshop. Would make my apprentices day.
Awesome video, I really liked this and learnt a lot thank you
HeNe - Awesome video, and pretty educational. Who would imagine that a material like that could destroy with just light,
HeNe - nice little intro to lasers. always enjoy your vids. keep it up
HeNe!
Thanks for the detailed tear down of that laser system.
Great video, very interesting. Quite something to see a HeNe laser like that.
HeNe Great to see that beast of a lamp again, been waiting ever since you teased that you would mess with it. Show us night turning into day :D

HeNe: Great video, like the build up 'reverse tear down' style, also glad to see you're doing better :)
HeNe I never realised just how much gear goes into getting the bigger lasers going! I'd love to see you pop that fan with some high voltage
Awesome and unusual teardown , from the up to the ground :D
love this bloke. when he's not blowing things up supercharging disability scooters or setting fire to lawn mowers/garden furniture he's proper clever. more clever stuff please.

HeNe - This entire video was explained very well, and in an interesting way. Thanks for the awesome info and have a nice day :)
HeNe !
Thanks for showing all of this laser' s entrails. very interesting.
Really liked the vid.... I would like to see more teardowns like this one.
NeHe!
Been enjoying your vids for ages now, Even use the "cleaner" ones in my science lessons! Just don't tell my school.
HeNe, It would be a great addition to my collection of oddities and I would certainly do some experimentation with it on my channel!
Great video! :D
