Hi All!
I'm new here and I think I'll be needing some help. I'd like to create (on of) the most powerful homemade laser gun. I was inspired (partially) by this: https://youtu.be/iVrJUbeuG44 (40W laser gun, his video directs you here for help). I want it to be at least 100W. I, sadly, hardly know the first thing about lasers (I know you need an appropriate driver, lens, diode, case, and probably heatsink). I am willing to put a lot of time into this and I also have some money I'm willing to spend on this, but I don't want to just waste money on it. I don't care if the power supply is huge and bulky, I'm willing to have the power supply strapped to the users back. The laser itself (including heatsinks) can also be huge if necessary. Any help at all would be appreciated. If you all could point me where to get the diode array that the guy in the linked video used that could help to. Either way anything will be appreciated!
Thanks,
SpaceWizard
