Ridiculously Powerful Near UV Laser Burning Stuff! Class IV @ 405nm

Here a ridiculously powerful near UV laser burns stuff. This is one of the most dangerous lasers I own, so I figured I would show you all a video of it.

I built it from a 12X blu-ray burner laser diode and a hacked computer PSU. I'm also using a DIY LM317 circuit running at 420mA.

This laser is only 5nm away from being in the UV range. This explains why it isn't bright.


GOGGLES ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY LASER OVER 5mW! I used goggles when recording this video, and I suggest you do when working with strong lasers.

my 405nm >5mW green laser seems very bright to my eyes and is near as bright as my true >5mW green laser they are both from DX and cannot burn I guess I just got lucky! :-) I see it as blue with a hint of purple around the sides

@R2Processor Your 405nm laser is probably way over 5mW, so be careful. My 405nm lasers that I got from DX and eBay all output between 25mW-50mW.

@styropyro Maybe these lasers are meant to be pot modded? Someone on DX said they probably have the 100mW diodes... Maybe I should try it then compare it to my 100mW violet from lazerer... And yes I have goggles.

@R2Processor Ha ha you must have read my mind, I thought that a few weeks ago so I ordered a few to test out. I have them on hand now and have one disassembled ready to go, until I couldn't find a screwdriver that would work at the moment ha ha. If all goes well, you'll see a video in a few days.

But seems like that your camera had a hard time picking up the 405 dont you think?

Your using fog and a 600+mw 405 laser and it seems like a phr xD

In person i can see my 250mw 405 better than in your vid without fog xP

[styropyro]

@andretodopoderoso7 Yeah my camera can't pick up this color well, probably because it's just a digital camera in video mode.

i might be getting an arctic spyder 3 and im gonna burn through a cd case.

[SuperMegaKickass]

how strong is the laser?

[alamir1998]

lol

[goldfish572]

now you are too lazy to lit candles : fcking lasers how do they work <<

[parsonsfra]

why is this ur most dangerous lasers?

[TheShijt]

if I had one dan I point it on the haed of my teatjer

@PokeKITT2000

you know light sabers are only possibly with plasma right? there is no way to limit laser sizes

[tgrouso]

which is the max temp that the laser bin can reach??

[GhettoFreakShow86]

the tape cut was fuckin sweet. fast

Ehh no i znowu ta dziwna część youtube..
