I grasp "scalar fields", at least in a general conceptual Higgs-fieldsy sort of way. But "scalar waves". Dunno...I suspect you may not EVER be able to have enough energy to make them. Though I think the original poster was more under the influence of "Strawberry Fields" (old guy, Beatles...

Hi Sigurthr, Actually, your own extensive knowledge base and expertise are working against you here a bit. The charge projection device is extremely simple and is not working anywhere near the edge of energy physics. If you want a quick description feel free to PM me. I hope it won't be too...

By the way HMike, I am not trying to be mysterious with the request for the PM. I am trying to be responsible. The device for projecting the electrical charge is quite easy to build. The device is dangerous. Someone unfamiliar or unconcerned with the proper handling of high-voltage devices...

Hi HMike, So, you have seen my ears? Hmmm...thought that pic was private. I must have been hacked. In my own experience, laser-induced ion channels have not worked very well. Therefore, I gave up on that about two years ago and developed a non-laser means to project an electrical charge...

What I don't quite get is why this fellow would want to utilize a relatively expensive, energy-intensive and very difficult to direct and control, high-power (necessary for shielded products without a direct electrical connection) EMP generator to knock out a laptop? Why not use the relatively...

Hi Folks, I am a new guy here but have a bit of research experience out in the real world under my belt. I joined here because my knowledge of current LD-based high-power laser tech is limited. As I am no spring chicken with a huge research budget, nor any sort of brilliant high-energy physics...

Geeeez, the above post didn't look nearly that large in the preview. I must have shrunk it by using a split screen. Sorry! Best Regards, Cogitator

I thank all of you for the kind welcome. For the record, I always wear goggles appropriate to the light frequencies I am working with. I have even been known to don protective clothing now and then, depending on what it is that I am tinkering with. Regarding my other laser project interests...

Thank you for my being allowed to join your forum. I am no one particularly special or talented. I am much more likely to buy something from here than sell something. I know a lot about a lot of things but not so much about current laser technology or laser DIY (hence my primary reason for...
