well today I got my new laser from wickedlasers.com, its cool and all, I have done the usual burn shit and take pictures with a long exposure but it just seems that i have run out of things to do with it a lot faster then i thought i would.

Sure, Its fun to point it up in the sky or shine it threw things, but i am looking for more practical uses. Any one have any ideas?

I suppose if you are evil you could shine it at a helicopter passing overhead and hope you hit the pilot in the eye.

You might want to be careful doing that. Apparently you can cause some sort of interference for airplanes that can be enough of the problem for the FBI to show up at your door.

When I first got a high-powered laser, I had a lot of fun shining into through different films and glass and lenses and stuff like that. The possibilities do run out pretty quick though.

Shine it at a raw steak and then eat it.

or, seriously, shine it at an egg and see if it gets cooked in that spot.

How would the police go about finding the culprit? Seems like trying to find a needle in a bunch of haystacks.

Blue laser!?

The beam leading back to me is HIGHLY visible, im sure any one with in 1/4th of a mile would be able to see where it is coming from.

It is a 1W laser sooo bad idea :P

And yes i look around for planes before using it. I love taking pictures of stars while pointing at that star.

You could try setting up an elaborate array of mirrors and a smoke machine, and see if you can make some cool designs or something. Kind of a lot of effort involved, but I've always thought that would be fun.

the egg thing works wiyh and without the focusing lens, cool idea and party trick, it turns white and snaps almost instantly

It's a shame it's not a red laser. Then you could point it at people at pretend you're a sniper.

Making funky patterns with literal smoke and mirrors sounds like the best idea.

The same things you can do with a red laser

or any other color laser for that matter

I'd suggest firing it

Use it as a lighter.

point at gang member who hates the color blue

Shove it up your ass

Entertain your pets for hours. That's what I do. No joke.

They follow the laser dot all day long and still aren't tired. Even with the red laZEER!

That's a pretty powerful laser. You should realise how useless it is and after you realise that it's such a safety concern being able to instantly blind someone that you should just not use it.

I'm glad you liked it.

You should also shine it on a stick of butter or at a candle and melt a hole through them.

if you were older than 12 and hadnt just discovered the internet this urge wouldnt exist

Actually I'm 23 and work in a state of the art research lab and I still get this urge whenever I use lasers =D

Ionize francium.

Point the laser into your eyes and make yourself go blind.

I take no responsibility for anyone losing the ability to see.

Shine it at a disco ball?

If i had one of these i would play it like a jedi

I spy with my eye, a double post...
