I have a good friend who is extremely interested in laser technology. He has said he wants to experiment in making them, which is a pretty huge endeavor considering the electrical engineering that would go into it. Unless you're creating a neon chamber and a co2 but even then you would still need a power source.
Though I digress...
I had asked him, since a laser is basically a perfect pure beam of light, would it be possible to have massive amounts of lasers beaming at a solar panel to create electricity. That and, some high wattage lasers will flat out burn through things/ cause heat. Is there a way to harness the heat of a laser and create electricity somehow....Just wondering if any of you fellow techies have any cool interesting stuff on the topic of laser technologies and or their application in free energy.
Ciao!
