Why be passive aggressive what’s the angle?

Since this is a dream maybe have mods just delete the thread as it does not add to any body of knowlage

Sounds like I will have to learn to make the diodes. Power supply will be steep that’s going to be the sucky part likely 10k for a military surplus generator I will have to work on. I have ones I can borrow for testing though before I have to buy one. Also why is a diode needed why can’t the...

Yep, Athena and they pay through the nose for it to. The hype and steak dinners and all the bolony that comes with a military industrial complex contractor that is too big to fail. Google the story of the side winder missile. Just like how people on here said oh its going to be 6 figures and...

I have read that this is false, that often times what ends up happening is the DOD will classify a patent and not pay out for it. So your entire intellectual property could be compromised. IF you have a proto type and they dont want it you charter a private jet and broker a deal to sell it to...

Thats not how things work anymore. Intellectual property rights in the USA are virtually non existent. You need a working proto type to be able to pitch anything. Once you have a functioning system then you can make a youtube video of the systems performance and start collecting 8 figures...

The conversation has already denigarted into the application of a non existant laser lol.

Isent this what america is all about, a couple dudes in a garage putting a well funded defense program to shame - ie the sidewinder missile program.

Cool thank you, sorry things did not work out

Yea it did but thats even more political, anti air systems fetch BIG money

I am not saying I would sell it for less than 6 figure I am saying I could produce one for FAR less.

I am sorry you guys feel this way, I will find some place else. Also its not illegal everywhere, airports are struggling to find ways to deal with the drone problem and they have authorization to shoot them down if someone is in the flight path of an airport. But your right I dont have time to...

Wont cost 6 figures unless you start hiring people to do work for you. Materials never cost THAT much, its paying to have stuff done for you is where BIG money comes in. Myself and a buddy are fine tweaking a CNC machine so we can cut the parts we need and design the custom parts around...

I want to stay away from the application other than to explain the need for a specific frequency. It just gets political and then no fun interesting technical discussion happens and I could just go to some political forum and accomplish nothing and then your time is gone lol. Then you go down...

I plan on building this completely from scratch but even then materials will probably cost me several thousand. Although removing the CVD diamond from the equation by going to 1,100 nm will save about $900. Raw aluminum is not too spendy but PEEK for the insulators is spendy I was reading...
