Hello all, as I am new to the forum I'll start by saying awesome job I have learned alot about lasers and the companies on this forum. Thanks
I own a 5mw el-cheapo from amazon just for pointing out stars and planets to friends, and for 5 bucks it's pretty darn cool first 532nm I have ever welded. Lol
Now I think these higher powered lasers are great they peak my curiosity and I think it's just awesome that something that powerful is about the size of a flashlight, and I imediately want one. I know anything above say 20mw is going to be dangerous and should be handled with the same respect at which I handle my firearms.
With that being said I wanna know of some practical uses for these higher powered lasers and cool scientific demos that can be done safely ofcourse. I just can't justify purchasing one at those prices just to burn balloons matches and such. To me that would get old fast and I would have 2 or 300 dollar paper weight. Any ideas would be awesome or examples of thing you guys use ur lasers for. Thanks
