10 Terra Watts

Only one I got any info on is a 10 Terrawatt pulsed.

[Tepco]

Petawatts are out there already, but whit miliJoules and femptosecond pulses. Issue is, this things are ridiculously inefficient, only few configurations can provide over 10% conversion efficiency, for 1KJ NdYIG pulse about 50KJ storage bank is needed, some ion lasers can go to pathetical 0.01% efficiency etc. RF driven CO2 is just an industrial workhorse, on long term just cheaper than plasma cutter or something else.

And this is way off topic now, we never received any question so far. After HH guitar amplifier episode on this forum, anything can (and will) happen here, so my answers are quite direct. And i never tested Tesoro Laser, (most probable explanation for this topic), can someone have comment on it?
