Turn a MiniMag flashlight into a burning laser pointer!! A link with detailed instructions on my website! Disclaimer: CAUTION! As you know...lasers can be dangerous. Never point them at any living object! This is not a toy, and this should not be used like a conventional laser pointer. In other words, don't use it in presentations, or to play with pets, or allow children to use it. It should only be operated by responsible persons who understand and respect the potential laser safety hazards. More»

therefore you haf to put a warning label on every item in this video and on the video itself.
cuz without the warning labels, all the stupid ppl would be gone already.
oh yeah, don't forget to put that label that says 'do not use while bathing.'5980234 - if those ppl
are so dumb, they wouldn't even know how to read a warnng label if there is one. so, no point of putting one anyway.

By GabiA 1191511634 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove2400019 - good point
they will probably first play with it for themselves, but I definitly see your point too!
By Teol 1191521255 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove6394281 - good point, but...
If all those people where stupid enough to point a burning laser into there eye, than maybe they deserve to go blind. Would it really be such a bad thing if all the stupid people were gone???

By tr-derin 1196447678 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove7204722 - But
what if someone finds your laser and dont know what it does and happend to look at the laser. Everyone should put a warning on the Laser flash light saying "Laser hot, dont point at eyes of living things, very harmfull!"

I am not one for preaching about videos but I can see many unfortunate accidents in school where someone gets this laser shined into their eye.
Remember, this strength of laser (245mW) can burn your retinas in 100th of a second which is faster than you can blink.3743213 - I agree
Totally agree...

How do we go about getting different colored lasers?
By Hero_Sky 1186732590 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove1828919 - Easy
Well, there is Blu-Ray and HD DVD. And you can just get the laser diode from either one, and you should be fine. But you would need a burner, and not something like a PS3 laser.
By sonik-phuzion 1195683913 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove7009810 - how to make colored ones
to make a colard one use a blue ray burner instead of a regular dvd burner as for other colors you can buy lasers in all sorts of colors at that strength it will cost you an arm and a leag though thats why it tock them so long to come out with blue ray

Light Amplicifation by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
By fatdadkev 1191667124 Reply Spam [+3] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Basically you get a heavilly doped carrier which when stimulated will cause an electron to shift orbit around the atom, it cannot remain in this higher orbit so must drop back, as it does so the quantum shift dictates that the electron must release its excess energy, as energy cannot be created nor destroyed the energy is liberated as a function of the wavelength of the quantum leap itself generally a multiple of 1/4 or 1/2 the wavelength. Thus the excess energy is released as light. As the quantum jump is dictated purely by the atoms themselves and if the laser material is pure enough then the light will be all of one wavelength. Also built into the laser is a fully reflecting mirror on one end and a 50% reflecting mirror on another, this creates a standing wave inside the laser where light bounces back and forth inside the laser material. Due to these two effects the light is 1) Very pure and 2) In phase. As such it can and will cause retina damage if viewed directly even if the laser is not visible to the human eye. Low power lasers can cause lower damage but care should always be taken to observe strict precautions.5367165 - Now tell us how to change

if you want to burn something, it has to be the laser diode from an actual "burner" not just player. Although that would be nice (less expensive)

Q1. Calculate the cost of a Maglite plus a DVD burner then look on eBay for laser flashlights from China (about $10).
By Freegan 1205124266 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Q2. What single wavelength in the visible spectrum produces heat?
[A. None. Heat is produced at wavelengths in the deep Infra-Red region of the spectrum. - DVD burners have two lasers, one read and one write]
Q3. Why are there no scorch marks on the wall behind the matches and the balloon?
Q4. How does this hoax earn $9000 and can I do it too?8222177 - Sure, the Star Wars flashlight!

In all honesty, I am not one to be in favor of warnings and restriction but this is not something good to have on the net or at all. This is considered a military grade laser and can cause someone to lose there vision. I researched it and if this ever got into some punks hands her could cause permanent damage to hundreds of people.

NEVERMIND HE'S RIGHT "If you follow laser developments, you've probably heard about how BluRay DVD players were used creatively to develop the Sonar series lasers. Call it mad-science if you will, these lasers are so rare they had to be made from harvested BluRay player parts. Representing the evolution of portable laser technology, the fusion of cutting edge technology and sleek styling lets you enjoy the latest in Wicked laser technology."

You might want to add that not all dvd burners are compatible with this mod. Some dvd burners have a closed diode or it is welded to a piece of metal, so it won't fit in the mini maglite. Good idea with putting it in the mini maglite. I've known about making DIY lasers before, but I've never thought of putting it in a maglite host.
By Wincet 1186545289 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is a very awesome project. Everyone should remember to keep safety first, however. I can't stress this enough. High output lasers can cause permanent retinal damage in an instant so be sure to avoid shining the laser at anything that could be reflective.
By HouseholdTech 1186544118 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAs far as my knowledge goes DVDs use much more fragile diodes and hence much more complicated regulation circuits than usual laser pointers. I experienced with a couple of cd diodes a while ago and learned they die easily. So can this work in and out for a total of a couple hours? if so, I need to try it :D
