It's not so much the power as the total energy delivered that matters. So, in that sense, it will depend on the batteries (or whatever storage mechanism they use) as much as the lasers themselves.
- anfractuosity 9y agoYeah definitely, I can't help but think the power source needed would be very heavy too.
- rini17 9y agoWho makes you unable to help yourself? Say, one watt delivered onto the retina can do damage very quickly. One AA battery can easily supply that.
- anfractuosity 9y agoSorry I wasn't thinking about a system capable of blinding people, those do definitely exist though. Also there are devices such as 'dazzlers' which are intended to cause non-permanent damage.
- dhimes 9y agoYeah, we were talking about something really fun, like being able to melt a boulder or something. %^)
