A few weeks ago i was bored and had a broken focalprice 2xAA laser. For $15 it wasn't worth tracking down the problem, i had another, and focalprice was nice enough to give me a free one thats currently on its way ^.^ anyway, it was aluminum and had a black coating. i decided to fill it with some *ahem* homemade exothermic fuel-oxidizer mixtures *ahem* and give it a spark. after the flames died down, i went to go check it out- it looked like it was made of copper! The whole host was a nice warm color. not flat, not glossy, just like copper. i switched some parts with my other one, so now it looks awesome. i'd post pics but i dont have a pic sharing account or whatever. anyone seen this before?
