Last night I was thinking about a story I want to write. My thoughts lead me to several questions.
- Thoughts
- Lasers
- I know that lasers can be used to blind people there is fear that a hand held laser could bring down a jetliner.
- Though light is affected by gravity it is very minor and even over long distance can easily be calculated unlike lead.
- Lasers are not affected by wind.
- Lasers are used for surgery to make highly precise cuts.
- Lasers can cut through thick metal.
- I’ve heard of killer satellites that use lasers to kill other satellites.
- Drones
- They’ve been in the news a lot lately.
- We know the military uses them to hit targets deep behind enemy lines.
- Recently a drone crashed on the Whitehouse lawn.
- They are hard to protect against.
- Amazon and others are looking to use them for quick delivery service.
- A drown carrying drugs crashed near the California boarder close to San Diego.
- Apparently there is something called Drone Boning which uses drone mounted cameras to produce voyeur porn.
- Anyone can buy them now.
- Lasers
- Questions
- Lasers
- How big would a laser need to be to quickly kill a man?
- How much would it weigh?
- How much power would it need?
- Could such a laser be mounted on a drone?
- Why couldn’t a laser be used as a sniper weapon?
- Drones
- How far can one fly?
- How long can it stay air born?
- How much weight can they hold?
- Could a gun be attached to and fired accurately from one?
- If the can deliver drugs and other packages why not bombs?
- Wouldn’t they work great for spying?
- Video
- Directional mic.
- Lasers
As I’m researching these and other questions I knowing how much the NSA is monitoring American’s internet searches. Is Big Brother tagging me as a terrorist threat? Should I expect the FBI and SWAT to be knocking down my front door anytime? The joys of trying to become a writer.
