Laser Kid

The laser kid "The Homebrew Guru" or "Homebrew Guru" or just "TheHomebrewGuru" built a real laser ray gun in his grandparent's living room that he is living in to help pay for college, then posted a first-ever instructable on how to build it on instructables.com. The ray gun was featured on hackday.com and is gaining popularity in laser and electronics forums because of his funny video.
