Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:In 2020, YouTuber Drake “styropyro” Anthony uploaded a video in which he built a laser gun some 20,000 times more powerful than the legal limit. Laser guns, laser swords, giant death-spewing laser planets—it’s lasers all the way down. This new laser gun wouldn’t be just a power upgrade—it’d be an all-around improvement. “The luminosity of this laser is especially impressive as well, having more than quadruple the brightness of my 100-watt laser,” Anthony says in the video. The most surprising result of all the various burn tests is that the laser gun could even send a copper penny into flames.
