Could this thing burn down my house?
>>109676774is your house made of black paper?
>>109676774>accidentally pass in front of it while it's shooting a mosquito
>>109676779No. It's made of mosquitos.
>>109676779No. But I do have curtains made of a really dark blue fabric, not sure what kind. What if a mosquito happens to fly in front of them and the laser hits both at the same time?
>>109676774Yes, it works.
>>109676774Id definitely like one of these for camping If it's affordable. Last I checked it's expensive as fuck. So I'd rather just take a tonne of Zyklon B with me
>>109676945I'd say it's pretty expensive, yeah.
>>109676774I like the Starfield aesthetic. Shame its actually fake and gay. Like the game I guess
>>109676975What if it thinks your eye is a mosquito and it shoots a laser beam directly into your eye
>>109676774What happens if the mosquito lands on you?
>cut down all flowers>kill all insects>cover everything in pesticide
>>109678035No refunds
>>109678046You get a cool little tattoo
>>109676774sad it doesn't like like a goalkeeper
>>109676774this is definitely going to cause a lot of lawsuits
>>109676774Probably not yet, but the question then becomes can we scale it up 20x for drone defense?
>>109676774I see the chinese have already copied and miniaturized the iron domeVely implessive
>>109676774 probably not, but it could instantly blind random people out to 1km, and glare various aircraft out to 2km
>>109676774Instead of this retardation, just buy picrel
>>109678802Not even in the same ballpark
>>109676774>Leaves you blind
>>109676774>a thousand bucksWhat's special about it that I can't build myself with a raspberry pi, a laser and some motors for under a hundred?
>>109681173You can't sue yourself for inevitable vision loss.
>>109676774no kidding they're finally commercializing this idea huh, i thought there was some patent nonsense tying it up indefinitely. i need one if it actually works
>>109676774If it could or would likely be powerful enough that it might blind you simply from the light reflected when the laser hits most things, it wouldn't even need to hit your eyes.
Introduce cobweb spiders.
>>109678802Placebo
>>109678035Then do not look into laser with remaining eye.
>>109681324It is the famous patent troll Intelectual Ventures' poster child of how they helped foster innovation by protecting IP. That shit has been on an IV lab bench for at least 13 years. My advisor had connections to them, which always weirded me out. There's a great This American Life about patent trolls that mentions them.
>>109682128I worked in a lab with high power lasers. Annually a laser inspector would stop by and make sure the ITAR parts were still in place. They were invariably dumber than rocks, and I'd always joke that their entire job was staring into laser beams.
>>109676774Apparently they only work inside when the target is positioned against a white background.
>>109676774it will burn the retina in your eye
>>109676774lidar cant detect a mosquito
It probably doesn't work but I have to respect the guy who hated mosquitos so much he decided to create an iron dome just to kill them all. And the people playing $1000 for that as well.
>>109684518It does work
no one here knows it bursts part of the mosquito into a aerosol of bug goo
>>109676774whats wrong with a bug zapper
>>109684600Skeeters don't fall for that shit
I give it 6 months in the market before it mis-ID'd someone's eyes as mosquitoes and turned someone blind leading to a lawsuit and mass recall.
>>109678802would this work outside in a plug?
>>109681173>a raspberry pi for under a hundredyou've been in a coma for thirteen years. this is our last attempt to reach you. WAKE UP
>>109684518TMD will be real soon
>>109676774grok, draw me a funny meme picture of a mosquito with huge tits forcing a cucked basedjack or whatever its called to wear laser glasses at all times to live in his own house
>>109676774on their ads they pretend it's safe because it's a pulsed laser (that makes it MUCH more dangerous)
>>109676774I have always been thinking this should be made.Ifeel like flies are more of an issue than mosquitos though.You can just get one of those UV lamb tasers.
>>109676774Finally! I remember seeing a demo for this tech over a decade ago.
