I built a long-range LASER turret in my yard!

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Building a Long-Range Laser Turret

Materials Needed:

1. Fiber laser with an output power of 2,000 Watts
2. Safety goggles for eye protection
3. PVC pipe for building a telescope
4. Flexispot C7 chair and E7 plus desk combo
5. Insulation foam can
6. Thermite mixture
7. Propane tank (optional)
8. Fire extinguisher (for safety)

Step 1: Testing the Laser

• Ensure you have the necessary safety equipment, including goggles.
• Test the laser's intended functions first, such as stripping off rust or paint.
• Experiment with different materials like metal, drywall, and glass to observe the laser's effects.

Step 2: Building a Telescope for Laser Focus

• Construct a PVC barreled adjustable scope to widen the laser beam and increase its range.
• Use suitable optics to enhance the laser's downrange burning ability.

Step 3: Setting Up a Stable Platform

• Use the Flexispot C7 chair and E7 plus desk combo for stability and comfort.
• Build a tower to provide a better vantage point for aiming the laser over longer distances.

Step 4: Testing the Long-Range Laser

• Aim the laser at various targets, such as cans, insulation foam, and thermite mixtures, from increasing distances.
• Experiment with different aiming techniques to achieve precise hits on target objects.

Step 5: Safety Precautions

• Ensure stray beams do not leave your property to prevent accidents.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of unexpected fires or emergencies.

Step 6: Monitoring and Adjusting

• Regularly check the laser's components for any signs of damage or malfunctions.
• Make necessary adjustments to the laser setup to improve stability and accuracy.

Step 7: Enjoying the Laser Experiments

• Have fun exploring the capabilities of the long-range laser turret while maintaining safety precautions.
• Share your experiences and results with the community to inspire others in laser experimentation.

Note:

• Always prioritize safety when working with high-powered lasers.
• Respect local regulations and guidelines regarding the use of lasers in your area.
• Exercise caution and responsibility when conducting laser experiments to prevent accidents or injuries.
