We have a class 4 laser. We're in Holland, and this is Johan, and he's a
laser expert, guru, whatever you want to call it.
Alright so,

-or, wit.
OK.. What's going on here? We have a white balloon that's not popping
in the laser that popped every other colour. Would you like to explain laser guru?
-The white one scatters all the light, so it doesn't absorb the light, and
-doesn't heat, and doesn't pop. There you go. You're getting

Alright. Later. Have a good one.
You've heard of sharks with laser
beams on their heads, but ah, come on down.
The cool thing about that is the laser beam, not necessarily the shark, and even though there's shark week, we're gonna have laser month,
because that's way cool. Johan here has built this laser
It's a 445 nanometer, 3 watt, 3 diode
laser, and it is capable of burning about anything you put in it's
way, depending on it's colour. And, we are going to do laser month.
