Here you guys go, ran across this and thought it was kinda cool to see if any of you guys could try it....I would but don't know how to solder

yup..im doin that this weekend!!!!

 

dang, can you set a lot of things on fire with this? is there a distance requirement?

 

Awesome!!!

 

i have no idea just wanna see someone do it

 

does it have to be a dvd burner or can it be an old cd rom? or cdr or something less expensive lol

 

im sure it has to be a burner...not just a rom..cuz its the burner wavelengths that would cause it to emit heat....and im sure there is a distance requirement...but its prolly along the lines of 5 feet or so! deff. worth the effort!!!!!

 

HELL YEAH, same here

 

Pretty cool, I might make one myself.
Just do yourself a favor though guys, don't hit anyone in the eye with that laser. It's got to be powerful enough to burn unrepairable black spots onto their retina.
Just some friendly advice.

im going to do this this weekend

 

haha too bad it isn't real

 

y is it not real?

 

Aha! Something I finally know somthing about. A CD burner uses IR like a tv remote so you cant use it but a DVD burner uses a 550-560nm diode which is red and are usually rated around 150-200 mW. But those DVD burner diodes are ment to be pulsed so dont expect any great mialage, they will burn out fast. Here is my aresonal of burning lasers...

2 125mW green lasers, 1 150mW red laser, 1 2mW yellow laser and a couple less powerful ones. They are all strong enough to light up a cigarete except for the yellow. You can check some out at wickedlasers.com if you really like em...

I might sell some or swap em out for parts





If you get some mirrors spinnging you can get some crazy effects!



Thought I would share

ROFL dont have time to go get sugar? just put baking soda in the freezer for a day!

 

yeah guys it has to be a 16x dvdrw laser diode. ive built one before a while back. and the distance all depends on how powerful the laser/setup is. if you really wanna know how to do it go to laserpointforum.com something like that. my friend and i built one a while back and we burned the projection screen at our school.

 

i cant imagine this being real...i mean there is a slim possibility...but i just dont know where the fat in the milk would go during the process...now maybe if it had some byproduct i could see it...im not quite sure...looks like i will have to try it!

 

you can see where he cuts the video man....watch it again
Damn posted this 20 mins ago and already 17 posts lol

 

wow thats awsome! if you can do it with a cd-rom, i got lots of those sitting around, but im not gonna tear apart a burner

 

That's alot of work... Really cool though, I might try that some time.

 

please do and post pics/vids of it
