Simply awesome!

We have a thread for funny pictures so why not one for things that are just awsome?

To kick things off:

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the States has developed a 67kW battery-powered laser that can cut through 25mm of steel in under 7 seconds. They are trying to develop a 100kW laser for battlefield use. Maybe not good but still awesome!

Re: Simply awesome!

Things like that scare me ! Imagine what all of that could get used for.
Reminds me of James Bond about to get cut up by a laser.
