This is not for kids! This is a quick DIY guide that will show you how to build your own balloon-popping laser beam. The video shows you how to disassemble a DVD burner to extract the laser diode that you will then mount into a mini flashlight. The project runs on 2 AA batteries and requires some soldering.

(Lolz, I love this picture, but you won’t be able to make anything as powerful as this from the DIY, so don’t start complaining!)
