I hope i am posting this in the right section.I am a new member and i am interesting in laser pointers.I saw a video in youtube with someone taking the laser pointer from the inner of a broken CD-ROM and creating a really powerfull laser.Any idea of how can i make one or instructions?Is it possible?Do you know where can i get a laser burner from that can burn objects?

I guess you can do the same with playstation 3-2-1 ( i guess the laser pointer is more powerfull there)... well i don't like talking random stuff cuz probably there are way more experts than me...
Edit: Anything , no idea whats the most powerfull handmade laser.Actually plastics ...

You guys need to use the search function.. and have a look around the red laser section. Both of your questions have been answered many times before.
I'll give you a little bit of a start though..
If you're looking to make a burning laser from an optical drive, you need either a DVD-RW drive or a BD-RW drive. CD-ROMs and CD-RW drives only contain infrared invisible lasers.. DVDs and Blu-Ray burners contain high-powered visible red and/or purple lasers.
EDIT: WOW.. tons of responses in the time it took me to type this..

The information here lays everything out pretty basically, but yes you need to have some basic knowledge about electronics.

Not only knowledge but you need also tools. A soldering iron is a must.

You don't need any prior knowledge or skills if you're willing to learn by breaking things rather than doing more research. It's like learning that a stove is hot by touching it rather than accepting advice that it is indeed hot.
I would read a bit more before you attempt to build your first laser, especially because the parts aren't cheap, and even if they were, reading guides is still cheaper.
