Reminds me. I nearly didn't get the job where I was playing with lasers because I'm red/green colour blind. The old giffer in charge thought I might not be able to see the laser beams. I'd already resigned my old job.ZRX61 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 4:44 pmJust remember not to stare into a laser with your remaining eye...Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 1:11 pm Military grade was what I had in mind. Lethal, precise, silent and no worries about the beaten zone behind the target. Pulse will do, but needs to deliver significant power on the target, sufficient to vaporise it would be ideal. Hence the 50 kW.
Bloody seagulls needs lesson.
(They dragged me all the way from North Wales back to London to see the company doctor for an eye test. After comprehensive testing we agreed, yes, I'm red/green colour blind and no, there's absolutely no problem seeing red, green or any other sort of beam - well, UV, IR or X-ray laser beams might be an issue, but then they would be for everyone else too They paid expenses for the trip too. Then, when I was working with them they paid for me to go to a Harley Street eye specialist to make sure I'd suffered no retinal damage every year...I could have gone to the local opticians!).
