You should hang the laser on three steel wires, so it maneuver freely in 3D space without needing a vehicle. The wires can carry the power (by using an insulated transformer you can safely use AC power) here. Just add a spindle with the laser on the bottom. :) For safety reasons, you can add a 24 GHz radar to detect humans, so it would zip up out of the way as soon as a human steps into the garden and continue work if you're gone again.

I actually contemplated a similar idea, about 35 years ago. Despite the considerably 'weak' lasers of the time, my design was to point a laser down, and deflect it from a mirror. If you were to combine this with a video system, that optically observes the laser, a servo could be used to trim the mirror up or down, for uneven terrain. Now, assuming that you wanted to run this device continually, 24-7, you might want to put up some barriers, for example, on the fences, trees, or other things that you'd rather not be 'cut'. A reflective surface, such as aluminum reflective duct tape, could reflect the intense beam away. As I watched the portion using the 'rover', again, I think you might have some success, by mounting two lasers, pointing down, and using mirrors to 'double-cut', at the same height, a photo-eye, could be used to advance the rover forward, if nothing is breaking the light of the photo eye, and stopping/slowing down, in front of the cutting lasers. 35 years ago, it was just a thought, but with today's technology, I'm surprised no one has capitalized on this kind of 'green(er) energy' advantage. Keep up the good work.

Also we has three friends and only two pairs of safety glasses, so one of us had to sit behind a wall and look at it through a camera. I caught a reflection off the grass for a moment, and sometimes when I look at the sky I can still see the retinal scar.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

Concentrate on trimming a lawn rather than clearing a jungle and you should have less issues with grass falling in front of the laser. Consider having the lasers underneath the vehicle body between the axles. You can point a series of lasers across to lenses and mirrors on the other side of the undercarriage to improve efficiency and safety.

I have to wonder how hard it would be to motorize your columnating lens system to move the convergence point in order to maintain focus on a plane, then add some kind of system to measure the distance and relative orientation of a wall; and of course some code to the controller to vary brightness based on a jpg, png, svg, etc. Finally you build a 3 walled tent out of laser curtains.

I think a tattoo removal laser or other very short pulse, high intensity blasting laser would be more effective here. As it will explode the grass rather than burning it, which is vastly more efficient. Though I guess it will also emit broadband light from the million degree plasma fireballs it generates, which will include UVC and X-ray radiation, as well as just being incredibly intense even through any eye protection out there (and obviously *blasting* the retina or lens with such a laser directly would be blinding).

RC, this is a great idea. Have you considered using the large array laser with a collimator? There are specific lenses for higher energy use cases. Also, if you got a fiber, you could get things more flexible. With a collimator setup, you can extend the effective focal length by having a smaller emission source to focus from. Wider doesn't do much as the ability for the material to shed the heat wasn't being overwhelmed in a timely fashion. Focusing the higher power array should substantially improve cutting and make the mower capable of cutting a lawn in a reasonable amount of time.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

Something to consider is how often do you have to mow with a laser as opposed to a regular mower, maybe the 'cooking' has an added benefit of less mowing. The grass is cooked and since plants tend to grow from the top, might be worth the effort/danger.

I think a 30W CW CO2 laser would work well, as it's wavelength has a high absorbance in water. You would probably have to put a front coated mirror on the stepper motor mount, rather than move the laser as they are bulky. The only issue is they tend to have a larger output beam and therefore a shorter focal length, but this could be altered automatically by adding another focal lens and moving it along the axis of the beam.
@miggelie
@miggelie Жыл бұрын
We use 40W max. CO2 Lasers to cut human flesh (but mostly using only 3-5W). Should be quite harmful if someone is walking through the beam or what about cats? But the idea of a laser grasscutter is great. How about a laser cannon that kills moskitos in flight?

for the impeller put a air filter from a car inbefore it, and use a blower for it instead of a turob impeller. Its going to be much simpler and still produce the same air pressure, and remove the two varying openings, those varying openings actually create a air raid siren effect(change in pressure creating noise) probably would be a better design.

I got an idea that mimics hair cutting, that might improve this lawn mower: 1) It could grab a chunk of plants in front of it, I imagine something bending down from the top in front of the rover. 2) The mechanism has flattened the grabbed plants at the point where it should cut. 3) Laser at the flattened point (from side to side as it does now). The laser should focus at the distance where the plants are held. 4) Drive some centimeters forward and repeat.
