In a previous post, I bemoaned the fate of my old DVD player. Now, the laser works just great, and I was thinking to myself, "self, what could I do with that laser?". Turns out there's lots of laser projects clogging up the tubes on the Internet...
But: did you know that DVD laser is 50 times more powerful than a laser pointer? There's a site that will teach you how to convert your little Mini-Mag flashlight into a laser pointer hot enough to light a match or pop a balloon. Needless to say, a laser this powerful will damage your eyesight... so unless you want to try DIY Lasic on your corneas, you might want to stay away from projects like this one.
