Crazy Keychain Laser Pointer Upgrades. 5mW to 3000mW+

I've always wanted an extremely powerful keychain laser "pointer" so I made it happen, even if it took supercapacitors and some of the craziest laser diode tech out there.

first song is "Deserts" by Text Me Records/Bobby Renz
song at end is "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads

This man is literally my favorite person. He lives in the middle of nowhere, builds military level illegal lasers in his shed, and raises moths in his backyard. That is one hell of a life right there

Wait I just realized something, you've been doing this for years and never tried exploding air.. yes that's a thing lasers that are focused so tightly can actually make air pop... You need really high quality lenses and extremely powerful lasers but I got a feeling you've got both....

(Thumbs up this, get him to make laser plasma!)

I came here for lasers, left with a certificate in physics.

US military: yeah let's spend several mill developing an anti drone laser rifle

Styro: give me 2 hours and 500 and I got you man

Ten years in the future: you are a student in college, you attend a lecture on thermodynamics by a guest lecturer. This unassuming man walkes up and turns on a powerpoint. You settle in and take out your laptop. He clears his throat, introduces himself, and begins speaking. The first slide contains an equation that he begins explaining. He reaches into his suit pocket and pulls out a laser pointer. He clicks the button and the entire wall of the lecture hall is vaporized immediately. "My bad, " he says. "Wrong one." He puts the laser back in his pocket and continues with the lesson.

Mark rober: Chaotic good
Nile red: Lawful good
Styropyro: Chaotic evil

Everyone: "I wonder what Styro is up to..."
Styro: "Portable blinding stick."
Everyone: _"Yeah, we know, stupid question we should have known."_

This guy is one tragic backstory away from being a supervillain.

Styropyro: waves one of his pointers around at the sky.
Meanwhile, on the ISS: Hull breech! Hull breech! We're venting atmosphere!

“Unfortunately, this is illegal” is the worst words anybody wanted to hear, yet nobody here disagrees

Tri beam lasers were used for multi track reading. Allowed for less head movement and faster tracking of data on a DVD or reading 3 tracks at once giving 3x times read speed per revolution.
