3W Handheld Blue Laser Torching Stuff! *Video Went Viral!*

[styropyro]

I recently bought a 3W 445nm laser in the Sirius host from Daguin. This laser is absolutely insane! This is my first experience with the 9mm laser diodes, and I have to say that I am very impressed.

Some kind of modern sorcery...strictly for demonstration purposes only, indeed))

Great "educational" video, too!

Thanks everyone!

It was trimethyl borate in methanol solution, laser lit with nitrocellulose.

They are incredible hosts. Great score man. I am very sad I sold my Sirius host as at that time I did not realize there would not be any more.

Yeah I love this Sirius host...I didn't realize how great and sought after it is until after I bought it.

Also, hackaday.com just featured this video!

The article is a bit inaccurate but oh well (I didn't build this)
