Now this is something that looks to be really useful for rust repair.

Aren't such lasers dependent on the subject color for energy absorption? If so, then this light attacks red rust. What would happen if a body part got in the way?

Later in the video the guy put his finger down and let the laser pass over his finger. There was no apparent pain or burning to his finger from the laser.

No way that Evapo-rust gives those results.
Chief advantage of this system is a total and complete lack of liquid and caustic chemicals, and no need to isolate the piece being worked on.
Just walk up, zap, drop the mic and walk away.

Is that a laser or a cold plasma?
Wow. I'd like to see if it can be used on rusty painted metal.
Is there a HF version I can get for $69.95 with coupon?
The high power ones (which are often shown in the videos) were selling at almost a half-million dollars the last time I looked. You can get cheaper ones with less power for under $100,000.
I am seeing them at 55K for the portable P Laser unit, I wont be giving up my $55 angle grinder anytime soon but for large restoration shops and machine shops that do large aged castings it will save that much in a short time.
