I work in steel fabrication with lasers and the thing with trying to blow the hole in the steel plates is you also need a cutting gas with it. Essentially all you are doing is melting it and its slowly dripping from the hole before cooling. When cutting with lasers you also have a gas like oxygen or nitrogen pushing the molten steel from the cut which gives you a nice smooth cut.

@kurtilingus 4 күн бұрын

....or you could use a gas like air instead to accomplish the same thing but w/unlimited free refills for your tank too.

These are around 2kw, modern military lasers are essentially the same just with a bunch of them funneled together with fiber optic splitters hooked up backwards to reach a couple mega watts. The chemical lasers of the 90's were a dead end tech and are now quite obsolete.

@feelincrispy7053 3 ай бұрын

The US spent 100s of millions fitting one to a 747. Literally the whole plane cabin was filled with the machine to make the laser. Same issue as pyro had though, keeping the beam steady. They do have them fitted to a ship and even some concept apc’s. The English navy have one that is actually deployed I believe

Can I just say, it is intensely gratifying to know that, somewhere, out in the wilds of the North American continent, there is a mad scientist doing all the things I dreamed of doing as a kid, but never had the chance to do. It is so important for a world to contain eccentric, affable people who have the potential to end worlds, but just don't. It brings a sense of wonder and urgency to life, knowing that at any moment, someone like you might giggle maniacally, and accidentally bore a hole clear through the Earth, or accidentally cut the Moon in half with a misfire from something they threw together as proof of concept. Go you!
