Unusual
Applications for hand-held LASERS |
| |
|
Everybody (or at least everybody with a heartbeat) is familiar with the
every-day applications or uses for hand-held LASERS; you know – aiming
telescopes, leveling pipes, distress signaling, and so forth. What we
are looking for here is something new and different – something unusual;
something nobody would ever think to do with a handheld LASER. If you
would like to make a contribution to this section, you agree that you
give us non-exclusive right to publish it, and we will post it if we
find it "unusual" enough. Send your material in plain text or MS-Word
format to:
UnusualUses@AwesomeLASERS.com
No purchase from
us is necessary. We will NOT publish your name or email unless you give
us permission. If you have an unusual YouTube video, send us the link
and a short description. Unusual applications we've run across from our
customers are presented below – in no particular order. |

I use a
500mw Green LASER to chase geese off my
golf course. My customers were stepping in duck-poop, and after chasing
them away with the LASER a few times at night, they haven't returned
(because I won't let them sleep), and customers are not complaining so
much about how hard it is to get duck-poop out of their cleats. |

I'm
using two 1,000mw Blue
LASERS in an EOD
(Explosive Ordinance Disposal) robot prototype. |

I am a night
watchman in a large warehouse and I use a
200mw Green focusable
LASER as a long-range flashlight. I can see
across the floor (over 100 feet.) and see clearly into vehicles parked hundreds of
yards away. |

I'm going to
Brazil next month on vacation. I'm taking my LASER and I am
going to travel into the jungle where the primitives live and become
their god. ☺ – rotfl |

I install copper
plumbing. I use a portable LASER to see if there are any obstructions in
long runs of copper pipe & tubing |

I'm
a firefighter and I carry a portable
LASER in case I get trapped in heavy smoke – It marks your position
precisely – unlike a strobe which just creates flashes of blinding light
through the smoke. |

Entertainers
are using LASERS in some pretty cool ways – such as in Magic shows and
such. The LASERS being used are probably around 100 milliwatts – they
seem very bright because of all the smoke in the Nightclubs. We
definitely advise against trying anything like this with the
Cobalt
Series LASERS – they are just too powerful to have this close to your
eyes and skin. Watch some really neat
tricks. |
