40W Laser vs. Balloons

[styropyro]

It seems that people like watching YouTube videos of lasers vs. long chains of balloons, so I decided to give it a try with my new CO2 laser from jeffreythe00.

 

[Blord]

Haha, good one. Now try it with a basketball or bowling ball

 

[Stix62]

Well, it made me smile

 

[Sigurthr]

Very nice, lol. I kind of expected them to all pop so fast you couldn't hear the individual pops, but thinking about it now CO2 units without lenses have horrid divergence.

I really need to get me one of these. Maybe with my tax return, hehe.

But can it light a match? :can:

 

[styropyro]

^ Haven't tried yet.

After taking this video, I realized that I forgot to put my beamstop at the end of the balloon chain. Now there is a hole in the garage door.

 

[Sigurthr]

Lol, did that with my Rifle (Lazerer) when I first got it (I forgot to upgrade my beamstop from black abs plastic) and burnt a hole in my closet door.

Have you tried cutting glass with it yet?

 

[Arayan]

Nice, but sooner or later I'm afraid that the balloons will take revenge

If you took the CO2 laser from Jeffreythe00, then you have also "my" PSU

 

[sinner]

Simply awesome, I'm gona get one of these too!!

Wow that's too funny that it burned a hole through the door (sorry) How bad is it? Cool Video though.

Crazy man

Wow!, I love your channel on youtube, been watching those videos for a while.

I agree, make a video of a basketball

p.s. Whats that hole look like in your garage door?

I'm surprised it took so long... at 40W my expectation was for near instant destruction of the baloons

Btw, my ceiling, computer case, two tables, and a couch all suffered from laser inflicted burns

yes but CO2 laser diverge terribly

I was thinking the same thing.. just one blast that pops all of them faster that the camera can see

 

[Lase]

I'd love to use that laser here.:eg:

Do you have the optics to fix the divergence?
