well its dangerous bt not like the one in the video. the one in the video uses a special housing wich keeps the beam focussed for soem meters. mine stats with a biger beam and keeps it focussed for only 5 cm. after that the beam becomes large and is not dangerous. but anyway i am VERY careful with this.

Yep, got curious and i had to try! lol. Had an old dvd-burner and an unused laserpointer. hehe. The effect is quite big after tinkering with it. But as Sharky said: Nothing real close to the vid. I managed to burn paper (where there was black text) and make some plastic smoke a little. Had an idea of a light effect with a dc-motor from the burner+a small mirror attached to it. It did work. I had a nice circle on my wall for a moment before the mirror fell off the engine. lol. it was fun anyway. Now the laserdiode is fried and the fun no more lol.
Beware if you try do it yourself. The beam is VERY dangerous for the eyes! It might not be enough to point it away from you. If it reflects from something it might harm anyway.
buahhahahahahhaha your a crazy guy... it was pretty funny following your work in msn..
by the way i ordered some lasers from aixiz the ones shown on the clip. maybe with they you can have a smaller laserpoint and get stronger results.... ill try as soon as they arrive. i already unmounted a second burner (sony 16X burner) and just need the lenses.. hopefully they come soon...
