    Exclamation I got your "hand-held burning laser" right here, pal!

    Just saw this thing on reddit this morning. Wonder what the sticker price is? Sure would be handy for modifying projector housings, or cutting firewood, or just general mayhem!

    Now if only I could mount one on the head of a shark...

    And with the release of that video, which doesn't show the huge supporting box in the back room, we will never hear the end of it...
    Never hear the end of it from the people who think that can be powered from a LiPo pack, and think that the actual laser is in the em, wand?
    They will be the same people who think that can be done at 10 meters or more....

    ... hmmm ... laser output energy is 5kW, this lasers has mostly 40% wallplug-efficiency, so it will need a LiPo pack with more than 12kW instant power capabiliy!!!

    If it wouldn't be for nuclear waste handling, I'll suggest a water-cutter -- much better and faster cutting, but more blowback too, so you'll need a better stand

    a (burning) laser in the hand is worth two in the... yeah. never mind

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    A plasma cutter will do the same work. Just not as snazzy.
