Paybacksays...Now he just has to upgrade to the 6 crank and he'll be ready.
articiansays...Ignorant question of the day - Is it likely one could expose themselves to radiation poisoning or get cancer from these activities? I ask, because the radiation generated by these devices is actually ionizing; but that's about the extent of my knowledge on the subject.
Paybacksays...While it uses enough power to run a microwave, there are no microwave parts. The main diode arrays are from home movie projectors.

Ghostlysays...Optical lasers produce non-ionising radiation, and do not use any radioactive materials to produce the laser light, so he cannot get "radiation poisoning." Only burns from direct contact with the beam or eye damage from direct or reflected light are possible. Also as I think he mentions, at these power levels, even diffuse reflections are likely to cause eye damage, in other words it doesn't take a mirror, almost any surface will do.

Ghostlysays...Even if this had microwave parts it would not be able to cause any sort of radiation poisoning because microwaves are also non-ionising.

Lol, K. Love it!
