Needless to say, Patrick Priebe is a pretty big Iron Man fan, which is why he made the ill-advised decision to build this powerful palm-mounted laser.
The unit is not unlike Iron Man’s repulsor beam in the sense that it can do some serious damage. It utilizes a 1000 mw 445 nm laser diode, which makes it just as powerful as WickedLaser’s Spyder III Arctic model. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if Priebe used the Spyder III in his work.
That laser is among the most powerful you can buy commercially, and it is capable of blinding instantly and setting fire to skin. Fortunately, the palm mount is made from a 2mm thick sheet of brass, which acts as a heatsink that protects the wearer.

If you thought laser cutting was only for metal, think again. PERF is using it to cut patterns in t-shirts. Of course, the design requires you to wear another colored shirt underneath, unless your feeling sexy. Like ’80s mesh shirt sexy.
Hopefully, PERF will let you design your own patterns somewhere down the line.

By the looks of those 200 laser diodes, this jacket design (more like a shawl really) from Wie-Chieh Shih’s just might be the last thing you ever see.

It’s a laser “Pointer” Haha…eh.
Still, a dog that can shoot lasers out of it’s eyes would be one hell of an asset on a hunt.

The Aurora watch is only a concept at the moment, but just about anything involving lasers is a good idea. In this case, beams shoot across the transparent face to tell the time. It’s definitely doable, but I would imagine that telling the time in anything other than a dark room, cave or bottom of a well might prove difficult.

Back in the day, I remember my shop teacher getting pissed on a regular basis because we got a kick out of shining this giant bulky laser pointer on his head while he talked. It was probably no more powerful than a modern keychain laser pointer, but he was always quick to point out that it could cause severe damage to the eyes. Needless to say, he would have loved this hat. A close-up of the warning label is available after the break.
