He Did What? Turning Flashlights into Lasers

Warning: What you are about to read, see, and hear is dangerous. Do not attempt this at home (or anywhere else). This is being provided for entertainment purposes only. Do not attempt to kit-bash a flashlight into a laser unless you are a trained professional. Remember, lasers can be considered weapons, given that they can instantly and permanently blind people, regardless of how far away you think they are.

Please exercise personal responsibility with regard to this subject matter. I will not be responsible for your failure to do so.


As if MagLites weren't bad enough. Now apparently you can make a laser capable of popping a balloon or setting a match on fire with one. In this video, DIYer Kipkay shows you how to turn an ordinary flashlight into a 245mw laser.

No kidding. One of the things that surprised me about this was how easy it was to make.
