		<title>High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Videos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gathered together some of my older high voltage capacitor discharge videos and put them into one video collection for you. The Maxwell energy storage capacitor is rated at 170uF at 10kV and is labeled as Non-PCB as are all of my energy storage capacitors.  If you have an opportunity to buy oil filled capacitors, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site Relocation and Forward Movement on Copper Laser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[QPWWGAESYQP7 Good News! I&#8217;ve moved the site successfully to it&#8217;s new server, here at Jon&#8217;s Hobby Lasers.  The big problem with multiple sites under one domain is that it&#8217;s difficult to track statistics and other things. I always like to see if my posts are interesting to folks and make sure I am posting stuff [...]]]></description>

		<title>Copper Halide Laser / Copper Vapor Laser Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started gathering parts for building my first copper vapor laser. This first CVL I&#8217;m building is going to be similar to the Sci-Am design in relation to the bore setup.  I am considering a thyratron driver instead of a rotary spark gap.  The thyratrons are much quieter, but I may need an additional one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick and Dirty TEA N2 Laser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I put together a quick and dirty TEA N2 laser today. I told a friend I&#8217;d help him build an N2 from scratch this weekend so I just wanted to make sure I could do it once again. I picked up a new 60lb tank of nitrogen as my last tank was emptied some time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Found Some New Toys &#8211; EG&amp;G TM-29 Thyratron Triggers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up some EG&#38;G Thryatron drivers today at a good price from a local surplus shop in town. I don&#8217;t go to the surplus shop as often as I should, there&#8217;s always interesting things moving in and out of that place and to catch them you really have to check often. I am somewhat [...]]]></description>

		<title>TEA N2 Laser Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got the TEA N2 laser put together in its original form, well. Somewhat, at least electrically it&#8217;s all in form. The thyratron is working great as well as the trigger circuit but the laser will not lase. It occasionally arcs over the electrodes, but it&#8217;s not producing a proper discharge. I think something is [...]]]></description>

It was a bit fun getting through customs but overall they allowed it and after looking it over closely and checking out my receipt they let me go.  The laser has been moved around with me from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passive Laser Physicists Ruin the Light Sabre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so tired of laser physicists saying a lightsaber is impossible because you can&#8217;t make a laser beam in mid air. This shows very shallow thinking on the concept, of course a laser sword might not be their main interest, but then why comment on the topic at all?  A few scientists do go further [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking of Building a Copper Halide Laser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was flipping through some older websites about copper, copper chloride, copper bromide, etc lasers.  These are highly efficient pulsed lasers with large peak outputs, and reasonable average outputs. They have a few complexities about them which tend to make them more interesting, however they are well within the means for an amateur electronic / [...]]]></description>
