Here is a you-tube video of the maglite version. Note: again, if you follow instructions on this youtube video, expect your laser to burn out in under 70 hrs. Depending on the batteries, I've seen some die in under two hours. Spend $15 and make a regulated power supply! It only takes 10 minutes! Green 200mW Red 205 mW Blueray 45 mW

I have a number of laser pointer from the past years... Are any of them, (which most still work fine) good fodder to be used and upgraded to cutting strength? Is it a matter of power that make it work as you show, or is it a combination of a stronger laser and the power?
I find this very interesting. I wonder if you could use it to say... Heat up the air in your tires, to increase the pressure, till you could get to the air pump... Or maybe, scan your power base to warm it up a little to avoid having to send it to Inc for that $200.00 cold start fix... Or just to scorch your name into paper...

I love Real Genius
My sister-in-law directed the movie and my brother Mike had a bit part.
They said after filming they couldn't eat popcorn for months! Still one of my favorite movies!
