Pretty dang cool, but those reflections off that magnifying glass scare me. Both for bystanders and the diodes.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not sure what to say.... I think those glasses should be a brick, a wrap-around brick. Do you hear sirens? Crazy
Thinkin (3) 1.5W 520 would be brighter maybe. Would have to look at that converter again
This actually makes sense in this case: :lasergun:

I guess he should ask someone for some anti reflective coating for his magnifying glass. :D

But damn that beam looks awesome!

Very impressive focused output and even when unfocused.

Expensive experiment---$720 for just the 8 diode, diode bank

Crazy it got so many views! It should show up on some TV news shows soon...

And btw... the coolest part about the laser isn't the burning... it's the unfathomably bright beam it shoots across the yard at night!

You've gained quite a few subs Styropyro! You can probably make quite a few bucks if you upload a video every 2-4 weeks. I don't have Youtube experience myself but I know it pays good when you have a video that went viral like this. +rep asap!

Very cool, last night I posted a link to the same thing in the another section, didn't see this thread or any other about it anywhere else in the forum until now.
