One thing i love to do with my lasers is show them off to my friends, family and even strangers who probably have never seen a true laser before, many have only the 5mw teacher pointers to compare them to, so as you would expect i get some pretty funny reactions out of people.
Generally i get some variation of the same 10 or so reactions
them being, with just showing off the brightness and the beam, (usually outside at night. also hitting safe targets or clouds miles away gets a good reaction
common reaction
:drool:
the usual holy s*it , wtf is that? thats bright how much was it ect.
for this i generally explain the wavelength and the power behind the laser.
then i get
how much was that? where did you get it ?
i say the price and usually Lazerer or custom made on this site
now for burning reactions
the same as above plus, usually
is that legal? can that hurt my eyes?
this is one i answer even if not asked, i explain laser laws and safety and show them how my goggles work.
basically yes it will eye nuke you which is why you cant hold it so no begging! :tsk:
this is also where i explain how the power works, ie mw
for burning i usually show people it through my ultimate pair of 100% safe group safety goggles, my iphone videos .. people are just as impressed by the video and no laser danger is around,
when people ask what would happen if i pointed it (my 1.6W blue) in someones eye i basically say this would be your eye :lasergun: then i would probably go to jail
i also almost always get the can you hit a plane question and i respond with i dont like prison or committing felonies sooo :tsk:
alot of people are even scared of it after they can see what it can do, i generally assure them that dont worry i wont eye nuke you, thats why you gave thoes goggles
so what reactions do you get to showing your lasers to people for the first time ?
