I don't want to slice the potato. Is it possible to peel it without slicing it?

Thanks dave. The point of the project is to use something besides a knife so... I thought Lasers, of course. I know it probably isn't practical, but practical things are boring.

I'm doing a school project and I'd like to know the ideal wattage and color you'd use if you were to use a laser to peel a potato. Ideally, it would burn the skin off but not do that much damage to the meat. Also, would this be practical considering the amount of power it would take? Thanks for...

I have taken hunters safety courses, and I have firearm license :) I treat high power lasers like firearms.

fiddy, thanks for your help too.

Thank you for your answer, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

OK, so for 1W-2W lasers, what OD should I have?

Someone explain it please..... Does more OD=Protection against more Watts? If so, what is the ratio? (Realtionship between OD and number of watts it protects against) Is higher OD super important?

I am very confused about US laws.... Someone help me?

Build Something Dangerous - YouTube It is three words with spaces. OK, I'll film something. Maybe this weekend.:D

Gun, I subscribed. My channel name is "Build Something Dangerous" I haven't uploaded any laser videos yet. I could film some if you want me to. I have my 200mw green laser, I could do some stuff. Also, could we just email/dropbox/mediafire a download for the video file?

I'm about the same age as you guys, Gun and Laik.... I feel I can be safe with a laser because I have read a ton about safety and stuff, even how lasers work. Laik I'm asking because of my little brother, he is 10. Thanks for your opinions guys, and stories about idiot "adults." :thanks: I'll...

How old do you think someone should be to handle/operate/view high power lasers? (Like 200mw-2w) A lot of kids wouldn't be responsible enough to wear safety glasses I think, but some could be. I am asking because of my ten year old brother.

Thanks, lasersbee. I know how bad wicked lasers is. Thanks for showing the six ways to not get scammed, I read that through. I'm getting some high quality goggles in the near future.

Hey! Someone told me I should introduce myself in the welcome section.... I currently have one 200mw green laser, and I plan to get more once I get some good goggles, and money :P I am very interested in DIY lasers, especially unique ones (like diodes put in guns and stuff like that). If...
