Is this just a laser shined through a drop of water at focal point and then observing the resulting unfocused wall projection!? Such an ingenious idea! This is awesome. SO many of those make magazine things are soo lame but this is amazing.

Wow! That's even more impressive on the video end of things!



I like how the kitty is very fascinated by the projection!

Thanks!

Yeah the cat is hilarious! I reckon next, someone needs to hit that drop of water with a "SteriPen" which is something like 254nm wavelength and then switch back on the laser to see if those microbes are still as energetically motoring around.

The guy that made that video used to be a member here. They banned him for arguing to much. I still talk to him now and then.
