Chinese "Laser AK-47": DEBUNKED!

Ғылым және технология

A Chinese company claims to have developed a laser gun that can set people on fire and blow up gas tanks from nearly a kilometer away. Is a laser like this even possible? Watch to find out!

Original article reporting on the laser rifle: www.scmp.com/news/china/diplo...
Clearly these claims are far fetched, but the company went as far as releasing an incredibly underwhelming video of the gun working:
www.scmp.com/news/china/diplo...
In this video I explain why this laser gun is something of fiction. I first try to decode the laser's wavelength, and then use the Rayleigh Criterion to derive a best case scenario of what the beam will look like at 800m. Then using the Stefan-Boltzmann law, I calculate the minimum power necessary to ignite clothes on fire. It becomes clear that a laser gun capable of that kind of destruction would require a giant pile of Li-ion batteries to operate, let alone the plethora of other issues that would arise with a multi kilowatt laser in a 3kg device.

    I made it through a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, and many of the classes are there to build up to industry standards for various topics. Math and science are built into engineering, and while you might not need modern controls theory in bridge-building, training the math skills is certainly a valuable exercise.

    Seriously, Exo. "When will we ever use calculus in real life?" For me, as an aerospace engineer, every day. It's the bread and butter of a LOT of calculations, especially atmospheric, in that field. Heck, the whole point of CFD is to teach the computers to do the calculus for you, and since they can't actually do calculus, you have to REALLY know what you're doing to get that to work properly.

    They say the gun can be used in hostage situations.

Looking at the spot of a 0.5W laser on the wall can permanently damage the eyes, so how about one 2000x stronger?

    This Chinese claim is pointless. If they had this, why tell the world and if they don't, why expose themselves as liars? If it was a real weapon, they wouldn't give specs (truthfully) and if it was BS than the specs would also be BS. However, in the original article, they have several images and the first, located at the top, is very important. The large, 10-15 cm lens that presumably screws onto the threaded barrel shown in the second image changes the calculations of energy density, power requirements and battery capacity by as much as 2 orders of magnitude. Erbium and thulium fiber lasers are likely candidates, but neither has any hope of igniting a gas tank. Even the press releases by our military contractors of their enormous ship based lasers struggle with that.

    Those ship based lasers are meant to heat and soften the shells of incoming missiles to cause them to buckle under the strain of flight forces and to veer off course to their intended target due to critical deformation. They don't need to burn the missile- just soften it up by heating it hotter than it was designed to withstand.

    That's actually far more plausible than the "instant carbonization" claim. When sustaining an eye injury from certain laser wavelengths (e.g. 400-550 nm and near-infrared) it's not uncommon to feel/hear a "pop" in your eye followed by a loss of vision. This is because the retina is absorbing enough energy from the laser to cause a localized vaporization of the water in the cells of the retina, basically a tiny steam explosion and destroying a small (or large) portion of the retina in the process. Like Styropyro says though, what structures in the eye and human body absorb this energy is highly dependent on wavelength. Source: Guy that works with lasers on a daily basis and is scared shitless of them, Styropyro's videos are a source of morbid fascination for me...

    Very good explanation and debunking. 😊 A lot of weapon companies have a bad habit of talking up their product to get the military sale, so if this weapon is an actual prototype, it's likely to have many, many issues. They may have made a weapon that only weighs the same as a regular rifle, but neglect to mention you have to have that 10-20 kilo backpack full of highly volatile battery materials. I don't doubt they could make a weapon like this, but we are decades away from a combat ready device that would do everything they claim in a feild test.

    A notable factor that would highly reduce the effectiveness of lasguns in combat, would be armor. Even basic aramid armour can resist heat quite well, although such high temperature would ruin it's ballistic effectiveness, or at least reduce it severely. Ceramic armour used in all major militaries and even some irregular outfits like insurgencies and militias will further reduce their efficiency. If you wish to test this and have ~$200 to burn, a cheap but respected Hesco 4401 can be used to check if my theories about energy weapons hold. Alternatively, a piece of Boron Carbide, or just a regular floor tile.
