Having watched a couple of videos (Jayrob's phaser vid comes to mind) showing lasers igniting flash paper as well as previously reading about popping a darker balloon inside a transparent balloon I decided to do a bit of a mash-up.
Full HD version and Twitter/Facebook/Etc. share link: http://d.ro/laserflash
I made the video as a sort of demonstration that could be followed by physics and/or chemistry instructors to illustrate varying levels of optical energy absorption based upon a substance and/or its opacity.
I use an excellent Stainless Steel Cree 14500 based "hot-option" EzFocus host assembled by jayrob combined with a Pioneer BDR-205 diode (driven at 500 mA) to ignite the paper.
I've looked around to see if this demonstration has been done before and couldn't find anything.
Anyone else performed this experiment previously or seen it performed elsewhere?
Thanks!
