ha, maybe it’s powered by powerade
CNN.com - Building the world’s most powerful laser - May 23, 2005
okay, bad joke title. especially since it’s not likely to conjure the powerade sports commericals, but still.
laser pulse 1,000 times the electric generating power of the United States
that is a ridiculously strong laser. way stronger than those lasers you can make/buy that can poke a hole in an aluminum can. but here’s what i wonder. say they do this, and it works. so do they have like a ministar in the lab? or is it not self-sustaining like a star? a quick glance at the rest of the article talks about it being like a nuclear explosion. so they have this tiny nuke? questions questions. i hope it works though. and not because it’s cost the government an insane amount of money, but just because i think it’s cool.
