That IS impressive really!

Just curious.. how much do these lasers cost?

I think he got these for $1650

Yeah it is really painful. I have trouble with 2 seconds it hurts immediately. I don't put my hand in front of it anymore. And yes I did get them for $1650 but that price was part of a limited time offer.

thanks for the pics, those beamshots look insane
shine it through a diffraction grating next time its foggy or on a humid night.
try to be careful with outdoor shots, bet those beams attract enough attention.

There was a little bit of incense smoke in the place. Not enough to really make a difference though. This thing doesn't change all that much in apparent brightness when smoke is added. It is already near a point of saturation. Protective eye wear is a must.

Incense smoke makes a HUGE difference! Especially for HI powered lasers.

That's insane. I like how you can see the laser light up the side of the building in the second pic. That thing is bright.
My favorite thing to burn is flourescent pink post-its. You should try it... My >100mW burns through it instantly and makes it ember so I'm sure 1W would make a pretty orange fluorescent flash and set it on fire quick.

If you stared into it for a minute, would it hurt your eyes?

No, it would hurt the back of your skull as it burned through it.

No it would hurt your neighbors skull, since it burned through you and your wall in a instance ;D ;D Nice laser man, i wish i had one of those *Thinks of all the fun he could have with 1w*

I think we've all seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUcWqgbn7fA&feature=related
The module looks very similar to yours I'm curious to see the actual power when you get it tested.

 

[yobresal]

I actually haven't seen that video. That is same great burning distance there.

That's very impressive! I don't mean to burst your bubble, but Lorgar lit wood on fire with a 1 W laser!

Unless Lorgar's laser is overpowered, it's definitely possible to light wood on fire with a 1W laser. (Roadrunner from LC was able to cut a match in half with a 500 mW one.) You should try to do the same with yours!
