Nearest I can tell, is this Stirling Engine should be putting out about 6v and at least 0.03 ... amps.

I think that would push an efficient diode/driver combo to about 10mW or so.
It would show from the discovery of fire, thermal to mechanical, mechanical to electrical and electrical to laser emission all in a tidy desktop package.
Any recommendations on where I can find a quality low power driver/diode combo for this?
Could I go real cheap and use a diode/driver from a cheap "5mW" pen?
I also want to use clear plexiglass for the diode/lens housing and go with an open can on the diode so that can be seen as well.
Add a steering mirror and I think it will make a dandy addition to my laser collection, and something quite unique.
