Fun stuff to do with lasers? :P

[Towelie]

I received my optotronics 5 mw green laser, epic stuff. First time seeing beam made me wow.. Today I did google and searched up what stuff can I do using lasers and I stumbled across video which transforms your laser light into microscope, basically I saw bacterias from water drop.. Pretty cool but I wanna know what else fun can I do with it :undecided:

You can do a fair amount of fun stuff with a 5mw green. You can use it for star pointing on a dark night, use it for presentations or play with pets. You can also safely experiment with optics effects.

Already knew that from old cheap chinese lasers I had :c

Get a fog machine, and then try the "liquid sky" and "time tunnel" laser effects. You could also make a laser spirograph. These are all fairly easy to build and have very cool effects!

Astronomy, science experiments, looking at a laser beam. Yeah, that's about it.
Cleaning? Maybe?

I've always wanted to go out to an open field and set up an array of several mirrors and make a huge light pattern.. Of course divergence comes into play and you'd need some power.. Make a huge red pentagram for passing airplanes to look at!
