You could try eating it. That would be awfully interesting.

;D try shining it through different lenses and it different coloured materiels and see what you get, I reccomend pointing it at some red plastics.

Good one Murudai ;D Actually could you do what he suggested, I want to see the results, maybe if we can swallow the lasers we can import them into australia easily. ;D ;D joke

What is a good duty cycle for it?

Usually, it is 100 seconds on / 10 seconds off

You should do what every laser enthusiast does: popping balloons, lighting matches, and showing it off.

You know, it really is kind of sad just how little utility these lasers we get have... burning cardboard, popping balloons, lighting matches... pretty hokey if you think about it.

Oh well, it's still fun.
