strange, it doesn't seem to really burn - rather it just tears :-/

Click to expand...

It melts,when the aluminum gets soft enough it gets ripped appart by the 100m/s air flow.

Damn that's a big crystal it must be worth millions.

National Ignition Facility  They got a little bit above average powered burning laser(s)  ;D

Nice videos. Didn't know how they grow the crystals
