this happened..

This internet “laser dude” does an experiment that may surprise you.  The somewhat famous YouTuber who goes by the name of “styropyro” has a background in lasers and is always coming up with cool experiments.  I do not know how he got the idea to try this one but lucky for us he did and we get to see what happens. Note: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A PROFESSIONAL

What do you think will happen when he dunks a working laser into a pot of liquid nitrogen?

Here is a bit more on the safety precautions in this experiment:

Regarding laser safety…This laser was run at just above its threshold current, putting it at 5mW of output power according to my own measurements on an OPHIR laser power meter. At 5mW, this laser is classified as FDA “eye safe” meaning that the blink reflex will prevent any damage from this laser, even from a direct hit. I ALWAYS wear laser goggles when working with lasers over 5mW!!

Let’s see the outcome of this experiment in the video on page 2
