does guvernmnet have that thing where a color is sandwhiched in between another color? ive never seen that done in a laser... so cool.
also, the x and y axis split of the laser. Ive never seen a laser being able to split itself perpendicular. Usually lasers are boring straight lines or a solid cloudy beam. But spinning around to a formation of a spiral and what not is CRAZY.
After this video straight lined lasers and the cloud effect are zzz....

In the US this is very illegal. Fines are so strict they could permanently shut a club down although I have seen it done in the US. All this according to 21 CFR §1040.10 and §1040.11 plus many more.
However, you want to be blown away by a laser show, The Netherlands loves em and doesnt give a damned about crowd scanning
Why are they banned, I mean, can they really ruin your eyes if they only are there for like .1 seconds? I can't say I've sat and stared into one, but lasers are just amazing, great thread.
is there any movement to get that repealed? I want scanning.

Like most things here, things get outlawed before any real studies are done. The law has been in place for quite sometime 30 years or so, its not going to be repealed, trust me. Lasers are indeed very dangerous. Make no mistake, I am partially blind in my left eye because of a milisecond of a laser beam being in my eye. That laser that did that was very bright though.
And fellow TAs, dont think i am pissing on the parade. I love lasers, its what I do (see my sig). I was just pointing out that you wont see too many shows like that in the US, if you do, its not legal so enjoy it if u see it.

the guvs laser is badass. I have personally seen the setup and someone speant a lot of time setting that bad boy up. Nothing beats a nice professional permanent install
element-y
it doesnt seem to be able to play with colors all at once though. Seems like one color at a time or multicolor beams but nothing like having blue, green, blue or what not

They probably have color flags instead of an electronic crystal.
edit: i take that back, after watching the steve lawler video again. They have the capability just dont utilize to the fullest with the programming of their software
iclone
the guv't has the best lasers i've seen in north america.
turnmills london is my fave...something wild about it sweeping the crowd. when combined with that strobed tube running the length of the room?
and ty audio, but around the 3:05 mark, head-on lasers

Lasers, are a must. I can't even remember HSII because of em!
