I wonder about smoke, then )
- ThrowawayR2 6y agoSeems doubtful. Unless the drone is stationary, it would fly right out of it's own smoke cloud. Even with smoke, it's a pretty good bet that the total thickness of smoke particles in the path of the beam is less than that of a coat of paint. No problem for a 150 kW laser to cut through.
- phreeza 6y agoWater vapor might work. It takes ~3MJ to boil a liter of water from room temperature, so if the drone can put water into the laser path somehow, it may slow down the process significantly. Also depends on how long the laser can keep up the firing.
