Pocket Sized Laser BURNS paper INSIDE balloon! Cool! :-)

[Netscott]

Greetings to fellow laser enthusiasts!


The following video by myself originally shared at lpf demonstrating a laser burning flash paper inside a transparent balloon was made to help educate others about optical energy absorption dependent upon opacity and/or substance. This type of demonstration is typically performed in physics courses with a darker balloon inside of the transparent balloon whereby the laser pops the darker balloon while leaving the transparent balloon intact.

Hope others enjoy this:

Illum,

Thank you for that assist!

I just edited the OP link to correct the error, the URL should work now.

Cheers!

I hope this demonstration will one day burn off whatever substance that grows and interferes with fiber optic lines, imagine a self cleaning underground/underwater cable
