Forget about hair, how about rust. How freak'n cool is this! 1000W laser just makes rust disappear on this metal piece. imagine doing a rust buckets hood with this as well as other parts.

Interesting. That's a lot of power, something you don't let your kids loose with.

I wonder what it would do to sheet metal?

I've seen these used for paint removal and rust removal. Basically the laser sends an intense beam of light to the rust, and paint surface. The paint or rust absorbs the light and basically turns to plasma. The only reason it doesn't heat the metal below is because metal reflects the light away.

$480,000 for the unit in the video! Thought they do have a backpack unit, of far less power, for $80,000!

Must not generate much heat, because he picked up the piece to flip it over after zapping the one side and didn't get burned. Mighty Cool.

yes, expensive. One Comment was to buy one to restore a Ferrari, the comment under it was "F that, just buy 2 RESTORED Ferraris for the price of this..." Super cool though, when's the HF version come out?

Looks like the same tool to remove paint as well.

They are using this to strip paint off aircraft...I believe they are military fighter jets....

Wait until you get the power bill...
