Guy Returns A Rusty Old Fireplace To Its Original Beauty With A Laser Cleaner

Laser cleaners are exceptionally satisfying to watch, and this clip has the added bonus of the gorgeous metal workmanship revealed by the rust removal.

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while, thanks for the post!

Very cool!

Wow this is cool
It took me much longer to get our fireplaces back to a nice grey
Impressive tool!

Very cool indeed, but how does it work?

Yeah I had to google that as well

HOW IT WORKS
Powerful, very short, rapid and moving laser pulses produce micro-plasma bursts, shockwaves and thermal pressure resulting in sublimation and ejection of the target material.
A focused laser beam precisely vaporizes the target coating or contaminant.
Process optimization of the laser beam produces maximum reaction with the target material for speed while, at the same time, does so safely and without harm to the base material.
Metal surfaces are well-suited for many laser cleaning applications. Optimized beam settings will not metallurgically change or damage the laser treated surface. Only the coating, residue or oxide targeted for removal is affected as the laser beam is precisely adjusted not to react with the underlying metal surface.
Laser beam power density is accurately and easily adjusted to achieve cleaning results impossible with all other options.

I’d hate to ask how much one of those tools cost

Ya… That’s what we do to our faces as well :stuck_out_tongue:
It is cool to watch. The first time I saw it done was while watching youtubes most oddly satisfying videos. :slight_smile:

I want a school of ill tempered mutated sea bass with those mounted on their heads that I can train to clean ship hulls.

I think we found a new way to dedome leds. :smiley:

It also whitens teeth, reduces wrinkled skin, removes unwanted hair, descales fish, lights cigarettes, scares pesky neighbors :smiley:

I would really like to clean my gas grill with one.

Here’s what the whole unit looks like. German made.

Wow! All I see is $$,$$$.$$
I think I’ll stick with washing soda and an old transformer. I can remove rust from old firearms with no harm to the antique weapon.

where’s the sequel?

I looked into these about a year ago. The 1000 watt model sells for 450k.

Of couse also smooth skin, wanted hair …

Can you elaborate on this? Because $450K is about what we paid for the house and I can/will not buy one of these so a budget friendly method sounds pretty good!

Very cool.

Now we need one scaled up by a factor of 50, placed on the nose of an A-10 Warthog and go around shooting stuff!

Can anyone say proto-phaser? lol…

Give it 60 years, and you can buy this on the back endcap at Wal-Mart for $39.99.

The casters alone are out of my budget :laughing:
