Build a Burning Red Laser From an Old PC

Flesh is quite good at conducting localized heat away, thus why people can microwave their hand to no ill effect.

But, if that laser has any UV component to it he might already have triggered skin cancer.

who the hell microwaves their hand? also a microwave (assuming you mean an oven) wouldn't be applying heat to an object, but radiation to excite the molecules to generate heat. you might not burn your hand like you would in an oven, but you would start to boil the water in your blood and probably risk cancer.
 
I was more impressed by the fact that the video had proper spelling and grammar in its captions. That is rare thing on YouTube.
 
Hi Flecom..

If you guys want to build a dimmable laser or one you can pulse, check out the FlexMod driver. Funny to see laser stuff finally posted on the [H]!
 
a laser that bigger needs a targeting system to be useful... You mean like this polished mirror?

Last I checked Paris Hilton doesn't deserve any respect.

Aside from that, is interesting, despite the misleading title suggesting one can do this with any old computer lying around.

flex mods are awesome drivers, I am probably going to need to order some more from you soon... :)

the 445 (deep blue) laser in my projector is being driven by a flexmod

also theres a thread I started a while back in Genmay in the [H]obbies section about lasers too ;)
