Crazy eBay green laser pointer mod. 1mW to 1400mW++

- What started as a simple desire for a brighter laser pointer got carried away and I ended up building the brightest laser pointer in the world.

I would love to give a big thank you to all my Patreon supporters. I would not continue to make videos if it weren’t for your generous support. I have yet to take a paid sponsorship and rely totally on donations and overlay ads to support these projects.
I bought some green laser pointers on eBay recently and I have to say I was pretty disappointed with the lasers. Half of the laser pointers didn’t even turn on, and the ones that did work were very dim and covered in dents. I decided I should try opening them up and try to make them stronger.
I started with the classic “pot mod” by cranking up the potentiometer on the driver. It made the laser brighter but it still couldn’t burn stuff. I scrapped the driver and hooked it directly to my variable PSU but that killed the laser almost immediately. I realized that I needed cutting edge laser technology in order to satisfy my extreme desires.
I settled on using the Nichia NDG7475 laser diode as that is the brightest laser pointer out there that is still small enough to be jammed into a laser pointer housing. I hooked it up to a high efficiency buck converter for current regulation. I used a MOSFET as the main switching component as the stock switch in the laser pointer would not have handled the high current demands on the laser diode. I also used high drain 10440 li-ion batteries as the thought of 2 AAA batteries powering this new circuit is laughable.
The modded laser pointer is awesome. In fact it is probably the brightest laser pointer in the entire world if your definition of a laser pointer is a laser that fits in a 2x AAA host. I test out its burning capabilities by pointing the laser at a bunch of stuff.
Sometimes I don’t even know why I build crazy stuff like this.

"let's see if it can burn anything"
-*puts his finger on front of it*
I was thinking the same thing, man this dude is a interesting person
safty is our first priority
Notice he did not do this with the final product!
Cuz he know it’s safe
Because flesh grows back and well eyes dont
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what TH-cam should be. You win.
😂😂😂
Man this dude got the trophy lol
Hope his channel isn't demonetized for public endangerment
TH-cam is for whatever people want to use it for. . .
Its an open forum for video sharing
I ended up here, whe I started at 009 Sound System - Dreamscape. TH-cam tutorials grew up.
when he says "youd probably die" he might sound sarcastic, but he isnt kidding. he is actually really well educated and takes good precautions
VALLEY * you’d
*puts finger infront of lazer*
Edit: this was a joke
@@motionpotion607 he must have tried it on something else off screen previously
@@motionpotion607 because most lasers won't instantaneously cause a burn to human skin
@@staalman1226 plus, he is very knoledgeable, so he has a very good grasp of what the outcome of the setup will be before he turns it on. he COULD make a laser capable of instanntly burning skin, but he knows what it takes and that its not going to be the case this time.
This guys voice makes me feel like he’s more kid friendly then dantdm is right now
he sounds like a nice teacher or some kind of instructor so his voice is really nice to listen to
Hr sounds like macaulay culkin
he makes me want to learn most people just dont fo that these days
@@shadow_b0itrash415 dont fo that. WTF
OUCH
"Your probably wondering why I just plugged myself in."
*wait what*
I dont wanna be that guy but
You're*
Not at all. I'm always plugged in.
eyeless Jack well you just became that guy... haha
@@KingAbbadon
Nothing wrong with being the guy that fights against illiteracy.
"You're probably wondering why I just plugged myself into the outlet." I love this guy.
Lmao
A static wrist strap will work better, and professionals use them.
The outlet on the extension cord was never on look closely the switch would glow red if it was on
@@josephwonderless1258 he's not a proffesional
@@jamesfreeman1010 Well yeah he was plugged into the ground plug
He likes lasers, blowing things up, science, cats, AND moths. This dude is officially one of the coolest guys on TH-cam.
You forgot the squirrel
Most people would just make the lightbulb joke and leave it at that. You actually did exactly what you said, and it got a good laugh from me.
I cant even imagine the amount of watch lists he must be on by now.
Antonio Carniero on god
On jah
Probably the amount of subscribers he has.
At this point isn't plain to see most likely just 1
Watch list??? Lol hes already working for the CIA deepstate. He' ll a top R&D weapons designer for DARPA if he isn't already.
Mostly he will be recuited to design weapons against all Targeted Individuals in America. That's a lot of lasers and DEW WEAPONS TO DESIGN against 5 million illegally targeted blacklisted humans .
He will become a traitor to our country becuz they will make him one. Against his will or offer him enormous amounts of fiat currency . the love of money is root of all evil......
"The biggest issue is that these things can't even light things on fire"
i love this guy
But then when lasers that actually CAN light things on fire make it to ebay...
@@blueberry1c2 he gets mad
Yeah, he's a pretty normal guy IMO and much after myself or any of us. We're pretty easily pleased and simple really. All it has to do is work, blow things up, light things up/or on fire, go fast, smash things, look cool/good and make holes in things and we'll think it's awesome. Lol. And women think we are so hard to understand, hahaha, no.
*builds lightsaber*

Channels like this is what TH-cam used to be all about. Great video.
You’re right about that! Though there are many quality channels still on YT. Just have to find the diamonds in the piles of garbage.
It's like this because he's been a youtuber since the beginning! I used to make chemistry videos on a video site and when youtube started up I can remember watching styro's videos on the site.
I’m surprised no muppet has made a channel dedicated to Fair Use “reactions” to his videos.
It would have been great to have had a friend like you, Styro, when I was in school. Most of the kids I went to school with couldn't light a firecracker.
I am constantly amazed by MOSFETs tbh. Imagine, those could've been what all transistors are! (they were the first described transistors, but weren't built until decades later)
Cheap Laser: *doesn't obliterate literally everything with light*
Styro: *Pathetic*
So true
Your profile pic really emphasizes your point.

"let's see if it can burn anything" *sticks finger in front of laser*
I got auto corrected
I thought the finger will be like french fries 😂😂😂🤣

I did that exact thing with my 3.5W blue laser and it hurt... really bad.
He knew it wasn't powerful enough to hurt him. Notice, once he started getting serious with the power, he stopped doing that.
👍 thumbs up, really enjoyed your video.
Keep up the amazing work.

Wtf is wrong with you this video only came out a half hour ago how did you get here 10 hours ago?
patreon supporters got to see the vid early
What series? I just hope every month that he will upload and not dissappear for a year
styropyro ooooooh
i must say ur really smart after what u do in youre chanel so i subscribed not because u beg for it but just because i like ur chanel and ur videos and how u do it.
Just out of curiosity,when you turned up the pot on the stock laser pointer,what kind of power do you think it put out? Thanks your videos are very entertaining
This guy is probably on a FBI watchlist
He is probably on a recruitment list for Stanford, MIT, Harvard, CIA, the next Q for James Bond, ...
He burned all of the FBI with his laser pointers
@Victor Camargo But... We all watched this 😏
Yeah - and learning from him.
So what...feds never do anything until any act, if any has been commited
One of the best channels out there quality over quantity
1:56
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID
Watched it again 4 days after this comment and almost died laughing. I forgot I said that lol
😂😂
This guy makes my day with these experiments
"let's see if it can burn anything" puts fingers Infront of Lazer
"It barely stings at all"
Comes out with a 3rd degree burn and instant terminal stage cancer
does it work on the cat ?:D

It's laser
"if it wasn't dead earlier it definetly is dead now"
I aspire to be on that level
+20 Amps
How crapy do u have to be to say that kind of thing...
I’m glad I found your channel today I subscribed you have a great show your pretty amazing looking forward to watching more of videos thank you for making them
Highly educational. & Funny. The fact you actually showed the lightbulb exploding... Lmao.. kudos

This is the channel I have been looking for!
Never in human history has Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate Crystals been said so casually.
That's exactly what I said... Holy shit. He is amazing
I still can't find out that this guy is way too sarcastic or way too psychotic
RIta Vinita Rodrigues same
thin line
find it really pleasant to listen to that tone
He’s very intelligent and well educated and what he’s doing, is his way of telling you (sarcastically) only to simplify it in your eyes “look this’s not as complicated as you think”.
By the way very impressive 👍
Yes
i have the same laser pointer and i didnt know that i can overclock this
amazing news!🤩
Dude built a damn lightsaber lmao

"This little MOSFET can switch up to 620 Amps of current, what a time to be alive, right?" - I LOVE THIS KID!!!
Maybe 6.2 amps at best...
Actualy the datasheet on mosfets amps are complete bs
wonder if he knows that standard on electrical there is max 90 to 120 amps? unless you get a line in for a 220 amp services you'll never be able to draw more then 120 from the line lol...
we had to get a 220 service for an arc welding machine the current line couldn'y supply it enough power to even arc on light grade 304 steel 1/8 inch thick :-(

Man those emotions, so .....
*vibrant*
I like how you test the heat with your skin.
Im sure he already knew it was safe. He is rather experienced with lasers and still has both eyes so im sure hes more safety conscious than he seems.

Why, what did you expect to happen, instantly incinerate his hand? lol
@@jotr.9786 He expected him to recreate Anakin low-ground scene
@@OF01975 Potentially if he was exposed long enough and had a genetic predisposition that stops you being able to repair radiation damage like BRACA 2. Its extreamly unlikely to say the least. BRACA 2 runs in my family and I had and uncle die of melanoma likely caused in part by repeated sunburns.
recently found out that you can make the laser beam audible. i was cutting some wood on my 2w cutter and suddently the 400hz PWM was audible from the spot the laser hit, it was carbonized wood. i bet ths could be audio modulated
I've been wanting to do something similar by modulating the q-switch on a high powered pulse laser so the little ball of plasma that forms midair would play music. unfortunately a setup like that costs a lot to put together but I like your idea for a cheaper alternative! i'll have to give this a try with a 5W laser.
Man I wish I understood what u just said
You probably could
I have seen a few people use a laser to transmit audio. This is one I saw and remember.

All I could think was that isn't the way to treat a nice Fluke multimeter. The rest of the build was cool though. Considering you can't buy high powered hand lasers legally in the US anymore, building them is the only option that doesn't risk having them grabbed by customs.
