How to Make , Plasma Cutter with Real Lasers

This miniature plasma cutter comes with the collector’s edition of Dead Space 2, but rather than slicing off arms and legs with ease, it just has a few LEDs that light up. That wasn’t enough for Kipkay, who decided that it was time to crack the casing open and replace those boring lights with some actual, high-powered lasers. Using a 1W blue laser and a 600mW purple laser for the lights on the outer edge, the green LED in the center was replaced with a brighter, blue LED. Once it’s put back together, you can really see just how much of an improvement the mods make. The outer lights are now lasers which form visible laser beams much like the gun in the game. Granted, they still aren’t strong enough to sever the limbs from the walking dead, but Kipkay shows that they do produce enough energy to pop balloons and light matches.
