I will make termite but how I lit the thermite can a laser lit a termite ?
 





I wouldn't try and burn a termite if it's still in your wooden structure..
Not really sure what you are asking???
 
Considering he can't make a termite, then I think you are correct in thinking he is talking about thermite. :p
I have never tried lighting thermite myself, but I know it requires some effort to get it going. I don't believe a 1W is substantial enough for ignition from a safe distance.
 
I see it's Ainus again. Yeah, he wants to light thermite not termite.

I put an old 1w 445 into a new host the other day, played.....err worked with it for a bit then took it out and put in a 7875, the 1w 445 was doing just under 1w output and was really puny, I had forgotten how hard it was to get an open flame from those early diodes, but I would not light any bugs, as for thermite I would use a stronger diode, also how far away will the thermite be and I hope that nothing nefarious is being done with said thermite.
 
Use a common sparkler. 1W focused lights it easy.
It burns hot, slow, and predictable.

If it’s thermite you want to light, then no. The laser won’t even come close to igniting it.
I do believe termites would burn though.
 
Use a fuse and ignite the fusewith the laser. Should work
 
I vaporized a mosquito once, I smacked him out of the sky and set him on a wooden plank, then I hit him with my 2.1W till it got hot. Needless to say their wasn’t anything left :)
