This amazing demo shows how you can transmit sound over a laser beam. The transmitter modulates power to a laser pointer with audio from a headphone jack. The receiver is just an earphone and a solar cell; no power source. I assembled both in minutes, and it was strange (in a good way) to hear music [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kits.makezine.com&#038;blog=29361711&#038;post=635&#038;subd=makekits&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
