Hi all, can anyone suggest fun stuff to do with 150mM laser pointers ?
I hear alot about burning and balloon popping etc. Yes I can do this with my kit no sweat, but to be honest this isnt impressive to me. The first time is interesting, but I can burn equally well with a cigarette lighter etc. What I like is the ability to get a visible beam of light and the various optical possibilities. I did buy a diffraction gratings set from Dragon lasers. This is quality glass. This actually is fun, and generates some impressive results in the house. You can get literally thousands of spots projected onto the wall or floor. I am wondering what else is good to experiment with ?? Optotronics sell a prism kit or a 40-piece optics Kit containg an assortment of prisms, filters, mirrors and diffraction gratings. Can you do cool stuff with kit like this ??
Has anyone experimented with fluorescent materials eg excited by green laser ?
