Homemade Ruby Laser 2 - action shots

My second video featuring stills of my homemade ruby laser in action. If you would like to see more of my ongoing laser work, including other lasers I have made and my HV/electrostatic experiments, then please see my Flickr sets. You can view the sets here:

This is an ongoin process, so I plan to continue updating these sets as I organize photos from some of my older work, and as I do future projects/experiments. You can browse my photostream as well, if you like. There are lots of photos in my photostream, so you may want to try searching with keywords like laser, electrostatic, spark, wimshurst, and so on. Here is the photostream URL:

My most recent work appears on this page, as I upload it. So if you're really interested in following my progress, the photostream URL is a good place to check frequently.

a tip, if you can get vision damage from looking at the point from a laser higher than 5mw, you can defenitely get it from this too just by looking at the point where it's aimed at.

@najsbajsmedmajs Very true! That's why the only thing that ever 'sees' any of this, is my camera.

@UtahBraten

If it can blast a whole in a stainless steel razor blade in one millisecond it will surely pop a balloon from across town.
