I'd like to see if it can set a paper bag or towel role on fire?
2.5W should be plenty. :beer: At least for the paper bag!

That beam stop though...
We need a way to easily make carbon foam for use as beam stops for some of these things.
I think there was a method of putting bread in a welded shut steel enclosure and baking it.
Im also recalling how charcloth and charcoal are made and wondering if that could be applied to another material to get a carbon foam sheet.
Or heck, maybe even just try a piece of hardwood charcoal moistened with water to keep it from igniting.
Personally I am fortunate to have a 30' room with brick and a cast iron fireplace at one end of it.
I would just be too worried about a stray reflection when I took goggles off to admire the beam of that beast. I'm even paranoid about where the scattered light from my 473nm labby goes.
On a side note though, just made a new beamstop and am about to fire up the 473 to admire the laser. I mean test the beam stop. Yeah lets go with testing the beam stop.
Just some 22ga aluminum sheet sanded to give it a matte surface and bent to deflect the beam down and scatter it.
Edit:Yep, this one works. gives a little bit of specular reflection but mostly diffused.
Now to get some sleep and work out something involving wood, aluminum foil, and the oven :evil:

Nice video , gorgeous beam, what's the run time on a unit like that?
P.s. never seen anyone cook an omelet like that before, when do you add the cheese?
I think the runtime is 100%, no duty cycle as with most lab units. The head has a fan inside as with the PSU so....
The cheese is added after the eggs are burnt to a crisp
