15 watts of CO2 will do that and more. I almost set fire to a couch here -- Glad I saw the smoke.

Its a pretty amazing laser - expensive too. Forgot the exact price but its in the $3-5k range.

Honestly though, that's a pretty heavy duty beam expander. I wouldn't be surprised if its as expensive, or more so than the laser itself.

Mike,
How come we havn't seen movies of your CO2? I wanna see movies of that. I've seen thousands of movies of pointers all red and green. SHOW ME A TUBE IN ACTION plz?
