Green Lasers: What Can Certain mW Do?
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
This video compares some of the most common power outputs of green lasers you can buy these days. I compare the difference in visibility and burning between 5mW, 15mW, 35mW, 50mW, 100mW, and 150mW. Important info after watching this video: -I used fog to bring out the beams. -This video is only about green lasers because they are nearly always fixed focus and have a small beam diameter. -I mention powers where tricks are EASY to do. You may be able to pull off burning tricks with less power than what I state, but these are bench mark powers where you can reliably do these burning tricks. -Additional focusing with extra lenses can lower the threshold of what you need to burn. Watch my focus video for a better explanation of this. -I go by actual power of these lasers in this video, not advertised. Nearly all cheap laser sites sell lasers marked from 100mW to 300mW when in reality the actual power is much lower.

So are they eye damaging if you look at the beam? (as in you don't point the beam into the eye, just look parallel to it).

o de 98000mw corta papel?
-
very helpful video thanks
-
My laser is 500 Mega Watts I stole it from Obama the other day :)
-
how can i get 15or 35 and price?
-
i swear mine is 8000 mW
-
Make A Updated video!
-
I have a laser pointer that is 50mW and 300mW
-
where did u get the laser pointer?
-
i found a pretty eppic laser for 3 dollar. check this out!

what about the wall the laser's hitting???

Where do you buy these types of lasers?

Results will vary I suppose. I found that 50 mW green (metered at 55 mW) is just barely visible in lit areas, but it can pop a black balloon. It can put a small pinhole through electrical tape in about 1 minute. This is an Optotronics laser with a small diameter beam and extremely low divergence. At 300 mW (metered at 307 mW), a green laser will burn dark paper when unfocused and also light a match. When focused, it can put some shallow holes into wood and burn through a CD case.

what is the highest or just enough so you can see the beam at night a laser should be and also be safe to the human eye, That sounded weird. OK What is just enough so you can see the beam at night and still safe for the naked human eye?

i have a 1w blue laser that can catch things on fire from over 20 feet away... how does the power work? is 1w better than 5w? and is the mw just the wavelength? what is the most powerful mw for a laser? can anyone tell me, without trying to be some lame ass troll? its a serious question! thx!
-
what website do you buy from?
-
We lit!
-
where did you buy your 15 mw laser
-
im thinking about getting a 500mw red laser it should burn through stuff right??

These are all diode pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers... Old school. Lets see the 520nm direct green diode lasers...I hear Nichia's got a 9 mm, 6 watt 520nm diode coming down the pipe. The 6 watt 445nm blue's are already on the market frying eyeball's...Imagine 6000mW of green beam lasing the sky..."I become death...The destroyer of worlds"...And retinas!
