Mail came, bringing more parts.

I didn't realize it until this morning, but it looks like my second monitor caught some reflections from the laser.
Nothing clever, just a Tesla Coil speaker.
Light it up.
Laser beam, illuminated with a can of compressed air to make a fog for the beam to shine through.
Of course I had to try zapping the meteorite because science.
Photographing tesla coils is hard.
Saw these two enjoying the lovely weather on yesterday’s 5.6 mile hike.
These are the glasses that came with the "5mW" laser. They burned through real quick and there's not any peripheral protection to block reflections. I definitely wouldn't trust them with my eyeballs
I built a 3W 445nm laser a few years ago, and the videos kind of rekindled my interest in playing with lasers. I also have better eye protection than they provided, I wouldn't trust this one.
