My younger brother just asked me about this. Said he saw them on Amazon. I showed him this video of a industrial one and asked if he thinks it's the same thing. I hardly think so.

Notice the picture of the large unit that is used to power it, in the beginning of the video.

I've seen them advertised for $50K. I'll wait till the price drops a little before I buy. That is an amazing machine!

I saw a video of one stripping rust and instantly wanted one although that video makes me not really want one, taking an awful long time to strip a pillar! This will be a real game changer if it ever becomes economical for the average Joe. Love technology!

1000 watt laser? My wife's hair dryer uses more power.

That laser is cool, but I am wondering what kind of fumes does it emit. I don't see the tech wearing a respirator mask, but I assume that the laser is "burning" off the paint and primer. Can that be safe to breathe in?

Yeah...but you're too late. Star Wars opens with "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."
