Inside of DVD burners are powerful laser diodes that I can use to makes pretty powerful handheld lasers. I'm still learning how, but I'm trying to find some broken DVD burners that people don't want. If you know of somewhere I can obtain them, awesome. If you have one, I'm willing to pay shipping to get it to me. Please, only in the US.

If you want to make powerful lasers, you'd be better off learning how to make a CO2. Even a small one can be several watts, not the milliwatt range of burner diode lasers. Although more expensive, ruby rod lasers aren't hard to make either, and can produce several megawatts, very briefly. And both can be made reasonably small.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Dunker: I know, but I'm starting out with these. Thus why I'm asking for broken DVD burners, so I don't have to spend a lot of money if I screw up.
