How Many Laser Pointers Would It Take to Kill a Human?

For a laser to kill someone it essentially needs to be hot enough to boil or burn the tissue. It would take about a 1kW laser to boil through someone’s eye to their brain in a reasonable amount of time, meaning they probably couldn’t get away. Each cat toy level laser pointer is roughly 5mW. It would take 200,000 laser pointers all focusing through a lens to an exact point to create a laser powerful enough to kill.

How many laser pointers would it take to kill a human? one.

They are banned over here in Australia, because a kid stood on an overpass and shone his laser pointer into the eyes of drivers passing underneath.

This caused a massive pile-up resulting in a few deaths.
