Someone had this idea, but from a static laser tower https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26376376 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26376376 (343 points | 4March 2021 | 250 comments) and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28793660 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28793660 (317 points | October 2021 | 161 comments).
