Turn a flashlight into a laser

Turn a flashlight into a laser

Kipkay demonstrates how to extract the laser from a DVD burner and mount it in a small flashlight to create a handheld laser burner that can light matches and burst balloons, all in this how-to video. All you need is a 16x DVD burner, a laser housing, and a flashlight. Watch this video tutorial and learn how to modify a flashlight into a relatively strong laser.

Do we need to use a axis laser housing or can we just use other housings just to support the laser dionde and does the axis laser's cover or the top have any difference with the other housings of the ordinary laser pointer.

what if you buy a 20x burner, or even a BLUE RAY BURNER LASER!! (even tho that would be expensive as hell!) will that make it more powerful ?
