1000mW 445nm against Marshmallow...

[lasersbee]

I've read a few posts recently talking about burning
a marshmallow with our new 445nm LDs...

So.... I went out a bought some marshmallows...
I set my 445nm LD to 1000mW output and focussed
the beam onto the marshmallow. I needed to film the
experiment through safety goggles to be able to see
something.. At 1000mW it just overwhelmed the camera..

Here is a link to download the .MPG video...

Anyone that can post the Video is welcome to do so...

Things start happening about 17 seconds into the movie...
and you can turn down the background sound...

Nice video.

I once melted some chocolate with my watt 532nm system... stuff tasted terrible.

You don't even need a watt to melt chocolate... I do it with 135mW of blu-ray It will sizzle and blacked too - doesn't make for good s'mores though as that burnt carbon taste just doesn't do it for me

 

[rangedunits]

Add some chocolate chip on your marshmallow for best taste ever

Wow, that's really something. I've seen many comments about how horrible lased food tastes, does anyone know of a food that tastes good after a good lasing?
