I have a video of it cutting through thick aluminum foil and shooting sparks everywhere when focused on steel. It will cut through a razor blade in ~10 seconds.

I'll try and get the video up tonight! It is pretty cool to see it eat away at metal.

OMG where the hell do you get all these lasers? You're one step away of splitting the moon in half if you fire all of them at the same time... ;)

Pretty cool flashlight! :D That must cost a pretty penny!

I think someone did put a dot on the moon, however it took several hundred watts and a very large, well colimated beam.

Now all we need is someone to man up and buy/make videos/take pictures of a Coherent Mamba. I just really want to see what 325W of green looks like.
