Are light sabers close to being a reality? If this guy is making powerful lasers from home, then I would assume yes! YouTube user styropyro has garnered over 1,000,000 views in a little under two weeks. The laser is equipped with a 9mm 450nm diode and puts out 3W. In other words, it can do some damage. You’ll want to keep your eyes, ears, and limbs safely away from something like this. Watch as this laser easily cuts and burns through paper, tape, cardboard, photo flash, and why the heck not, a ping pong ball.
