Fun with Lasers

[admin]

In case you've ever wondered what is possible with lasers these days, several websites have devoted themselves to all things powerful which emanate light. One of my favorite discoveries was the Spyder II GX. No, it's not a car - it's a laser. A very powerful green laser. Weighing only 8.5 ounces, a single 18650 high capacity lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery powers the the Spyder II GX laser enough that it is visible for hundreds of miles.

I always liked lasers at concerts.
Blue Oyster Cult had to give theirs up when some idiot in the audience looked at it through binoculars.

So Dr. Evil was right.....laser and sharks.


Actually the one about to be deployed (or is deployed) on a 747-400F is pretty cool, ironically the movie Real Genius was about a laser being deployed in a B-1 and of course "genius" college kids led by Uber-Genius Val Kilmer (oh that's a good one) thwart the evil US Air Force from their nefarious plan. Man you gotta love the 80's, Val Kilmer as a genius................
