He Dunks a Laser in Liquid Nitrogen and This Happened…

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!!

StyroPyro also replies to one of the safety skeptics on the thread:

We hope you enjoy this science awesomeness and do not try this at home.

Keep on the lookout for more videos from this cool science fan.
