Hi everyone. :)

This is me shinning a blue (2W 445nm) a red (680mW 635nm) and a green (850mW 532nm) laser over 2 million people at copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro on 2010 New Year's Eve.

I was at a party at copacabana beach and brought the lasers with me. Just you to know copacabana beach has over 2.5 miles (4km) in extension

I pointed the lasers to the sea of course but you can see that sometimes someone from the crowd pointed a green laser to me. :)



Cheers!

I wonder how powerful the other guy's lasers were... ?

I think it was neat to see your 850mW greenie appeared a little brighter and crisper than your 2W blue.

HA awesome video, loved it!! Nice music too... right up my alley :)

What are the chances that someone else from Brazil posts a video of your lasers from the beach down below? Maybe the other greenie guy had a video camera too :thinking:

Nice i wanted to be there. I also attracted alot of attention with my 1.4w 445nm and 200mw 532nm :p
And give me the song name, and maby more songs suggestions, i love film-trailer music.

Awesoe video. Cool to see the flashes from the cameras as well.

And lol at the little guy with the greenie:p

Lasers are made for getting attention:D i love how everyone looked at me instead of their 200 dollar + fireworks :p

do you think it was the same guy? I thought the 2nd beam looked slightly more powerful.
The second laser was like a km away from the first laser.

It must have been quite visible to the crowd down there... and i love that some of them decided to 'return fire' :D

Given the distance its probably harmless fun, but it could be a good idea to wear some eye protection when showing off lasers to big crowds that shoot back once in a while ;)
