I've kinda run out of ideas playing with my laser, kinda waiting until I buy my next one, I've burned shit with this one, pointed it into the sky, not much more to do that I can think of. Anyone got any ideas that aren't illegal/dangerous? The laser in question is a "200"mW 532nm, I say 200 in quotation marks as it doesn't seem as bright as other 150 and 200 milliwatt lasers, and came from china, but that might just mean it isn't as good, either way it's a nice fucking around laser.

I think the CO2 laser I'm restoring can do that if focused and used to make plasma, it did come from a laser cutter, but I think the glass envelope is cracked and that isn't really possible to fix.

Its not illegal if you dont do it on purpose.

 

 

 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Bodily harm is illegal whether intentional or not lol. I'd still get in serious trouble, although even more if I was arrested, I do other stuff that I shouldn't that involves perfectly legal things. 

Yours faithfully

it went really well, I'm taking it out again next Friday to the movies and then bowling. I think it might be the one. 592cc26abbf8c_20170530_0152061.thumb.jpg.4f26efe849537c8899a729aef47c3a7f.jpg

Shine it in the eyes of pilots at the airport and cause 5/30

I live within laser shot of the air port, that bit of sky is one of the few places that aeroplanes don't go over, so it might be possible, however a pilot was recently blinded permently in one eye while trying to land there and it didn't crash so either they where a casual cretin or a pussy pilot

The laser is like "what are you trying to make with the eggs and the banana..."

I'm hopping to put them back before someone sees me carrying that plate and things I mixed something funky with my whiskey (I didn't this time)

That laser sure does think that though

the laser only has TTL, a diode and a TEC, due to this inherant nature sadly it is not sentient or capable of any form of self awareness beyond TTL and On/Off, it lives a life of rated 5000 hour and anything more is just luck.
