I just saw the big daddy of lightning canons.  That’s not really a laser but it’s pretty darn close.  My best bear bud and I got a private tour of the Pulse Powered Facility at the Kirkland Air Force Research Laboratory.  The place looked right out of Tron.  Here, I laid eyes on the Shiva Star.  This thing is MASSIVE.

Imagine a machine capable of storing nearly 10 million joules of energy.  And then being able to pulse 120,000 volts and 15 million amps in one millionth of a second towards an object.  I don’t know what that means, but it sure sounds like a lot!

Anyway, any target of this machine stands no chance.

I got to feast my eyes on what little remained of a test cylinder, which was not much.  The thing was compressed into almost nothingness.

I want this kind of power in my paws.  I want Nicholas to make me my own Shiva Star.  These guys are only using for research on how to achieve nuclear fusion.  I’ve got so many better uses than that.

Time to start thinking.
