I bought a green laser pointer on Amazon a while back. It was way more powerful than advertised. I discovered that it can pop a black balloon. I love this laser, and would love to show it off to my neices and nephew, but I am afraid of eye damage. I am planning to build a box that the laser is locked into, and you would have to put the balloon in the box with the laser. This would prevent anyone accidentally shining the laser into anyone's eyes directly, but I am worried about seeing the laser from the side. I would obviously be present the whole time, but it's quite bright, should I also get a laser shield for the box? Any idea what brand laser shield would be best for a green laser?
