Question: Could you use a laser to pop popcorn?

Keywords: ,

  1. Another popcorn question! – yes you could. Lasers can carry a lot of power, if a popcorn kernel absorbed it, it would heat up and pop just like it would on the stove. I have seen people burst balloons using lasers – and even burn holes in chairs (by accident!)

  3. Excellent!

    Check out the movie “Real Genius” (1985) with Val Kilmer if you get the chance! Terrific final scene which uses a laser to pop popcorn on a huge scale! Great laugh!! 😀
