Any laser that exceeds 5mW (regardless of color) will require permits from the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). If it will be operated outdoors the FAA gets involved. There are also state regulations. I don't know about Nevada but in Arizona the Arizona Radiation Regulatory A...

Re: Generators

This year we're planning on bringing up a generator. We need one that is between 1500-2000 continuous Watts. However, we really don't want to spend a grand to buy one of the Honda eu series the ones that I see people recommending on other posts. Has anyone had good luck with other brands? Like, the...

An advantage it has, is, it has it's own airflow, via a squirrel cage fan on the crank, ducted through the engine and generator. Are you talking about a supercharger or is it just a cooling fan? If the fan blows into the engine's intake manifold then it's a supercharger. Sounds like a pretty decent...

If you don't need a lot of power, this is a great little inexpensive generator, and it's pretty quiet too. We've taken it to the playa for two years now. It was only $120.00 when we got ours. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200313480_200313480?cm_mmc=Housefile-_-S...

Harshness and frequency is more important than decibel rating. Cheapest thing to do is buy use of a large generator, if possible. I slept very near a huge generator last time. It was much more pleasant than the cheap small ones. I like these. You don't have to buy a honda. http://www.fischerpanda.c...

Every year people ask the same thing... post links or I call bullshit ...that way it's gonna be fucking loud like the piece of shit you're probably going to subject the rest of us to... It seems pretty stupid to assume that a person who asks for recommendations regarding generators is going to end ...

Since 1998, it was always smooth, except 2001, 2007, and 2008. And 2008 was by far the worst. I don't think anyone really knows whether the bad conditions of the last two years are going to become a trend (or whether it's natural or Burning Manmade), it seems like we're just going to have to wait a...

The claim has been made before. By hostile idiots who didn't bother to provide cites and who made us all love them by calling us "sheep." Unfortunately, there is another possible trend there, with this being a probable third dry winter in the Sierras. And global warming won't help. So, as in so man...

The reason I'm asking is that there is a claim that the amount of loose dust on the playa is steadily increasing and that Burning Man is primarily responsible ( http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/leavenotrace/ ). According to the author of that site some playa users (land sailors) have already be...

Loose Dust Trends

I'm curious about how the amount of loose dust on the playa has varied over the past 10 to 20 years. I've only been a burner since 2007 so I'm hoping some more experienced burners can share their past observations. Have there always been some dunes or were there years when the playa was completely s...

dry ice source

I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet or not but the best place to get dry ice here in Tucson is at an ice cream wholesaler called "Excel Ice Cream." Apparently that's how the ice cream trucks stay cool. They must move enormous amounts of the stuff because their price is more than $1 per pou...

LOST: 3 hats & a shot glass

I lost these three hats: a santa hat with plastic hearts on the white brim a brown fur hat with a broken feather on it a black and grey snow hat And my shot glass that says "New York City" and has pictures of some NY landmarks on it. Gimme a shout if you found any of these. Thanks! Kris 520 777 8711
