Hello, I'm looking for a laser well suited to popping balloons. I'm in charge of planning a large set of science demonstrations for 1000+ students, and I think popping a bunch of balloons would be a nice project.
It's a large outdoor area, so I was thinking it would be even more fun to use balloons filled with hydrogen or methane.
What wavelengths and Wattages would be best for this? Can anyone recommend a good laser to buy? I'd like something with a tripod mount, and I'll keep everyone far away from it. Should I get a pair of laser goggles too?
I have about $300 budgeted. Is this enough?
Thanks!
