Free Electron Laser Weapon

[genogeno1]

Has anyone else been following the development of the Free Electron Laser (FEL)? It runs on electricity alone. After looking at everything I could find on it, it looks to have the exact same properties of relativistic electrons near black holes (that is to say, alleged black holes). It looks like a lot of the work on the FEL was done at Los Alamos, and it is going to be the holy grail for laser weapons. Google it and see what I mean. It has become quite the buzz in the last few days.

I am not usually a conspiracy theorist, but a clever man who wanted to get ahead in the world might purposely feed his enemies misinformation about black holes, dark matter, etc. to keep him busy "wandering down the yellow brick road" so to speak. Either that or just encourage a little bit of ridicule here and there might have the same effect (i.e., Peratt, etc.). Kind of hard to build a black hole in the laboratory to fuel your FEL, eh?

A pdf about the Corona, but in 12.3 the author describes the use of the free electron laser
in the (future) creation of unlimited, clean energy. Let's not even think about use as a weapon...

here is a new development.. splitting a beam then merging them in a silicon cavity to cancel the beams out

“If you can make a laser of a certain type, the equations say you can make a reverse device as well,” he said.

An anti-laser uses mirrors, too, but the other components are the reverse of a laser. The medium that provides amplification is replaced with one that provides absorption, and the outgoing light beam is replaced with an incoming one. (This light needs to be coherent, so it takes a laser to make an anti-laser.)

The incoming beam is split in two, and hits the medium from two sides. The photons bounce around between the mirrors and interfere with one another, eventually wiping themselves out in a flurry of electrons and heat.

The experimental device absorbed about 99.4 percent of the light. In theory, an anti-laser should be able to absorb 100 percent. “It’s a one-way trap for light,” Dr. Stone said.

Dr. Cao said the device they built was relatively simple, using silicon as the absorptive medium and a couple of “bad” mirrors.

With a photonic laser you can use diffusive materials or aerosols to kill the beam. This is a major reason why you don't really see battlefield lasers in use- artillery smoke, dust, rain, etc can kill the beam.

Not sure how relativistic electrons would behave in a similar battlefield. Could you use an ionic air purifier to cancel the thing out... and possibly rejuvenate the ozone layer at the same time? o.O
