A Birb In My Garden
Yesterday i was in my garden and i saw a cute little visitor
I believe he is called a Blue-Faced Honeyeater
Apologies for the blurry photos but i did not want to get too close lest i scare the poor fella off
LASER REVOLVERS
Not only are they aesthetically pleasing but laser revolvers actually make a lot of sense. The big obstacle to making a practical handheld laser weapon is not a lack of energy density in the beam itself (easily rectified by using nano/microsecond pulses rather than a continuous beam) or the energy density of power supplies but rather the low discharge rate of batteries. The obvious solution is to use capacitors instead, since they can release their kilojoules of energy in a fraction of a second, much faster than any battery. No self-respecting space cowboy wants to be limited to just six shots, but this can be solved by connecting an external battery pack to the pistol by a cable to provide the capacitors with a recharge between shots. And if concealment rather than ammo capacity is the priority rather, then you could forgo the external battery in favour of simply carrying some spare caps.
