Turn your pen laser into a burning laser!

[ARG]

One of the questions I see the most on LPF is "How do I make my 5mW pen laser burn s*@^?!?!?"

Here's quick 2 minute tutorial video I made on how to make your pen laser BURN! :evil:

Enjoy!

That's a pretty cool tutorial you have there. Personally I would have seen if you could have used another laser to help it burn.

I thought about it, but this is a tutorial for noobs, who probably don't have a burning laser yet so I wanted to use materials that are readily available for them :eg:

i love how the laser gradually gets more and more deteriorated until it just a flaming mess :crackup:

I should put a disclaimer that no lasers were harmed in the making of this video.

The laser that I used had the paint wearing off of it, so I harvested the module out of it quite a while ago. It was just a useless case when I burned it Both the modules in the video were also dead. I have lots of dead DPSS modules.

Great job ARGLaser !

Now all the " how do I make my laser burn?" people know how it's done!

You should have placed a balloon on top of the burning laser and said "look it can pop a balloon".
