Most powerful laser pulse in history is fired in US nuclear fusion plant, as scientists bid to harness power of the H-Bomb
- 'Shaped pulse' of energy generated 411 trillion watts of peak power
- 1,000 times more than the whole United States uses at any given moment
- Array of 192 lasers aims for 'laser fusion' - a 'Holy Grail' of clean energy
- Facility aims to ignite controleld version of reaction found in heart of stars, and in hydrogen bombs

The most energetic laser shot in mankind's history was fired at the stadium-sized National Ignition Facility in California this month.
On March 15, an array of 192 lasers fired a shaped pulse of energy that generated 411 trillion watts of peak power - 1,000 times more than whole of the United States uses at any one moment.
The pulse is a historic moment for the 'fusion' facility, which aims to generate power using a nuclear fusion reaction - similar to what happens in hydrogen bombs.

This to me sounds like we are entering the age of 'star wars' weaponry. Theres when you think of it now unlimited possibilities to super weapons and energy sources. We have taking a giant leap which in my opinion havent been seen since the nazi war machine.
