      “The short pulses reach peak powers of 100 megawatts (which, in theory, would be enough to power 100.000 vacuum cleaners for a short time).”

      Couldn’t help but chuckle at this. Ummm, how many lit football fields is that?

      I just hope no one accidentally aims this at their vacuum cleaner, though… 100,000 of those going off would be one way to clean up the lab real fast

      I suspect this would be great for zapping enemy weaponry out of the sky with pin point accuracy. Unless by short they mean distance travelled and not duration of pulse.

      Edit: I suspected incorrectly.
