Laser beam width program: Download

[sethy]

I have made this little program that will tell how wide a laser is at X amount of feet. I made this because I wanted to know how worried I should be about the position of the blinder installed on my car.

Updated: Now uses windows EXE


Download: Download it here!

let me know what you think.

Thanks sethy- Nice job on that!

Hi, I'm going to be fighting a ticket I got on my motorcycle. I'm going to try and work on the uncetainty of hitting th bike corectly with cars around me.

I guess the spread of the beam is a matter of physics and doesnt depend on the mfg of the LIDAR gun ?

Any source I can refer to to document this?

Thx Alan

Laser tickets are VERY hard to beat. I suggest you get a lawyer. If your ticket was for 10 or more over the limit that counts as two tickets when your insurance company looks at it.

Laser beam width....................hmmmm........now that brings up an interesting question that I cant find an answer for. But Then I am getting a bit burned out here. I am new to the forum and have tried to read every post..........YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand the LASER gun theory and the width of that beam being very narrow...........yada yada.

So how does the BlinderXXXX work?????

If it has to send out a jammer laser beam, and it has to cover a wide area, since we dont know where in front of us the laser gun is located.

How does it differ from a laser gun, what gives it the ability to produce this very wide beam and with enough power to disrupt the laser gun????And still be in the same light spectrum err frequency.

Lasers are inherently narrow beam devices??yes no maybe????...............errr Im lost now...................LOL

Any one??

Have fun and enjoy...............

The Blinder, ZR3, Laser Pro 905, and Laser Mimic all use LED's to cover a wide area. The light transmitted isn't narrow like the one coming from laser gun.

Interesting. Must be hundreds or even thousands of LEDs...............Cool.

Is there any tech info available on the Blinder? The web site did not have much.

Thanks for the info...............

No there are only a handful of LEDs in each blocker. They just aren't focused in a narrow beam like the lidar gun is.

Guess Im thinking lil leds....................never saw any that I would call big.

So any idea how wide the beams are??? Getting back to the original post theme.............beam width...

thanks and have fun....
