Would a laser made from a Blu-Ray player/burner diode be powerful enough to light fireworks on fire?

And what about just from a Blu-Ray Player with no burner?
Oh trust me, I'm not wasting my Blu-Ray player. Way to much money for just a laser. I posted on a couple sites just asking around and seeing if anybody had a broken one that they'd be willing to part with. And I've seen less-powerful lasers light matches. I can't imagine it being that much harder to light a firework fuse.



Answer
Commercial lasers fall into the following general categories:

â¦less than 1 mW â laser pointers
â¦5 mW â CD-ROM drive
â¦5â10 mW â DVD player or DVD-ROM drive
â¦100 mW â High-speed CD-RW burner
â¦250 mW â Consumer DVD-R burner
â¦1 W â green laser in current Holographic Versatile Disc prototype development
â¦1â20 W â output of the majority of commercially available solid-state lasers used for micro machining
â¦30â100 W â typical sealed CO2 surgical lasersâ¦100â3000 W (peak output 1.5 kW) â typical sealed CO2 lasers used in industrial laser cutting

Your Blue Ray burner is quite possibly in the 100mW range, and
may be classified as a Class 3A (Intermediate power) or Class 3B
(Moderate power) laser. The player laser without the burner will
have lower power.
Only a Class 3B or Class 4 is considered
a fire hazard, with enough power to ignite something like the fuse
on your fireworks. The laser you are considering should have its
class rating listed on the side, but it will definitely take at least a
Class 3B.

How to play a blu ray disc on my laptop?




Miss T


My laptop does not support blu ray disks and I have a few that I would like to be able to watch when others are using the TV/blu ray player. I've heard that there is software you can buy/download which will allow a laptop to play blu rays. Which would be the best? I do not mind paying for something as long as it works! :)


Answer
sorry but you cant play blue rays in a standard disk drive on a laptop as it requires a laser with a much shorter wavelength to read the disk. in a specific blue ray reader the laser will be in the blue spectrum, hence "blue ray" normal DVD players operate using lasers in the red spectrum, which has a much larger wavelength and therefore cannot be used to read blue ray disks.
