Hey guys,
First time poster here. I've been interested in lasers since I bought my first red laser from Radio Shack back in the early 90's. Without getting into too many boring details, I'm finally realizing my life long ambition of owning and playing with high powered lasers. Seriously, it's something that's never left me.
Anyway, I searched the forum for black ping pong balls, but couldn't find anything. I'm curious if anyone has trying lighting a ping pong ball on fire with a laser? I would imagine black would give the best chance of igniting. BTW, if you havne't but a flame to a ping ball ball, I suggest trying it, but outside and away from anything else flamable. It's pretty neat, and unexpected, and not something you would EVER do inside. Not even in a garage.
What do you think, what would it take to ignite the ball?
