China makes better lasers than the USA and can produce them a lot cheaper. Most of the ones used by the general public and professionals alike come out of China. This includes gas lasers commonly found in CNC cutters. There are very few artisan glass blowers here in the United States that can make the tubes.
@@darrinjones9387 And no one should be surprised that Chinese manufacturing abilities are quickly surpassing the U.S. in every front, considering that nearly every U.S. technology company outsources to China, and China gives zero fucks about international intellectual property rights.

Aaaand Kevin has designed his own energy weapon. This is straight up an advanced weapon that was beyond human science just 50 years ago and he’s using it to entertain people
He just bought an off the shelf laser, everything he designed could have easily been designed 50 years ago.
@@FrancisR420 nope, solid state lasers are far newer than that. He could've gone with a ruby rod pulse laser 50 years ago, that was about it and those had overheating problems if you didn't carefully design a cooling system into it.
@@spvillanoit's not pulse?
FYI, Laserium started entertaining people with lasers in 1972. JS
@@FrancisR420 Nope. This specific high energy laser tech didn't exist 50 years ago. But, I just built a 3 watt RGB laser projection system for $50K

My recommendation for whats its worth. Is that you paint the Laser housing and mounts black and mount the controls for aiming in your truck and leave it there. You are basically turning your SUV into a military style truck. Some call them "Technicals". Basically a Toyota with a machine gun mounted on a try pod bolted to the floor of the bed. You're setup up is awesome! Rock it and don't stop!
This channel just devolves more and more into outright supervilliany as time goes on I mean you're literally shooting lasers at the moon now.

@@tuluslutrek you're so weard!
6 questions and some advice:
1. The point was Politicians, not Flags. Did you not notice?
2. You seem to think political leaders should be immune to satire? It is, in some countries. Move there. Please.
3. Yet I was only stating a marketing truth about a UA-cam laser target, given, the number who have voted, and what numerous current polls suggest. Do you think this is inaccurate? I ask, because, you never doubted in writing what I said, although you had every chance.
4. So, you changed it to flags, because there you think you're safe. Do you know that people are changing the very colors of the US flag to suit police, fire, rescue, and gays? You'll even see versions with black instead of red - so much for the spilled blood that represents. Are these acts defacing the flag?
Type YES for Yes, or NO for No. We value your brave opinion.
5. So I'll change the topic too. Whut if it wuz baby bunnies, huh? Instead of pols or symbols.
6. Glad you learned a new word! Snowflake, Karen, boomer - all are supposed to strike fear into the recipient. Has that been your experience? Call me everything you want, I'm already impressed with your empty trendiness.
7. Hey, stay in school, 9th grade is not as hard as you've heard. And quit dirtying the water of the Comment thread of a great UA-cam channel, troll.

Raytheon: "No, you can't have that"
China: "Here ya go, have fun"
So what you are saying is that there is more freedom in china than america ? That's depressing.
China makes better lasers than the USA and can produce them a lot cheaper. Most of the ones used by the general public and professionals alike come out of China. This includes gas lasers commonly found in CNC cutters. There are very few artisan glass blowers here in the United States that can make the tubes.
@@darrinjones9387 And no one should be surprised that Chinese manufacturing abilities are quickly surpassing the U.S. in every front, considering that nearly every U.S. technology company outsources to China, and China gives zero fucks about international intellectual property rights. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, capitalism and communism cannot co-exist, they are mutually exclusive. Capitalistic systems will always corrupt communist systems from the top down, and communist systems will always destroy the currency of capitalist systems, and it will keep happening until one system is no longer sustainable.
@@K31TH3R I just combined the best of both of them and apparently it is really really advanced. Both can exist together with social programs and such. Early starts are also preferabble to capitalism as it is.
