Burning laser

Writing on wood with a 40Watt Continuous Wave (CW) YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) laser; power is 40Watts. This unit is a medical device and produces an Infra Red beam and belongs to my friend Aron, who usually has such lasers for sale. He can be contacted at kc5uto@gmail.com

Imagine if you pointed that at a KTP crystal. Man that would be a lot of green!

What wavelength is that laser. It looks light 808nm

@mewrox99 1064 I believe... Yes, it'd be awesome to frequency double, but you'd need one hell of a crystal too, in order to handle 40 watts of IR energy!

God dam I wish I would be able to work with people as talented as you are >>

Then again my theories & ideas are more towards fringe science so yea :/ When other say its impossible I find a way to make it possible XD

On another note have you guys ever toyed with plasma?

very nice

cool

1,000mW make a Watt. mW is milli for thousanth. I have a 225mW laser, burns stuff, but 40W, the laser in this vid is 160 more times powerfull. The US has lasers in the KW and MW power, KW is kilo for 1000, MW means mega for 1,000,000. The Laser they want to put on planes to take out tanks and stuff is in the MW range, and can punch a hole through armor like a hot knife through butter.
