Laser 1000W laser gun has been born, 10 times stronger than standard

The energy industry is also taking noticeable advances in laser technology.

Last Tuesday, a group of academics announced that they had officially succeeded in testing the "Bivoj", a large-capacity energy laser gun - named after a Czech athlete - and also extremely powerful.

According to information from AFP, a team of experts from the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom has said that the "laser" on the power is equivalent to more than 1000W, which is 10 times larger than the standard of the same. species.

"This is indeed a world record , " said John Collier, director of the Center for Applied Laser Research in the UK, told AFP. "The technology applied here will open the door to new aspects in the field of laser energy."

However, they admit that this is still not the most powerful laser machine in the world, as it belongs to Osaka's "Laser for Fast Ignition Experiment" , with a capacity of up to 2 petawatts (2 trillion watt).

"Despite their high energy levels, they only work a few times a day," said Tomas Mocek, director of the Czech project "High Average Power Pulsed Laser." "It does not operate and evaluate according to our" average energy "concept, and that is really the issue that needs to be addressed."
