How to Turn a Flashlight Into a Laser (Video)

If you have an abundance of flashlights and a dearth of futuristic armaments in your house, then you'll want to take a look at what the weaponry wizards over at TechEBlog.com and Kipkay.com have for you. Without revealing whether the blueprints came from 'The A-Team' or 'MacGyver,' the video on Kipkay.com provides step-by-step instructions for converting a "regular mini-mag flashlight into a powerful burning laser." Requiring only the flashlight, a DVD burner, an Aixiz laser housing, a soldering iron, and a drill, the final product generates a laser, as demonstrated in the video, powerful enough to light a match or pop a balloon.
There is one negative, though. The how-to doesn't address how we're supposed to attach the finished laser to the head of a shark. Sorry, but we just couldn't help ourselves. Check out the video after the break. [From: Kipkay via TechEBlog]

I see a lot of stupid blind people after they try this. Probably some blind pets too

If you have enough time and money on your hands to sit around trying to turn your flashlights into searing, deadly lightbulbs, you need to come up out of your parents basement and get yourself a job.

It's not so much "turn a flashlight into a laser" as "buy the components of a laser and put them in a flashlight housing". You scavenge the diode, sure, but they're not exactly hundred-buck items off the shelf. That said I've got some very attractive flashlights sitting around that would benefit from being turned into lasers...
