Re: [Utah-astronomy] Re: 20 mw Laser for $79
Patrick will probably drop a bowling ball in the direction of the brightest light.
What we should do is get Patrick to circle SPOC in his airplane while everyone shines their lasers at him. First one to make him let go of the stick and rub his eye's wins! ;)
Come on man, we won't be standing in one big warm and fuzzy group, we'll be scattered about to confuse him. And just in case, I will bring a ball blaster. A bowling ball blaster that is. ;) Quoting Michael Carnes <michaelcarnes@earthlink.net>:

No worries. It'll be at night and I'll just use one of the Magic Dragons I got to fly on in Vietnam. Let's see, if I remember correctly, "Puff" would put about 50 rounds into every square meter we flew over... :)
With the AC-47 they claimed that when used on a football field size target, they could put 1 round per square foot at a speed of 6,000 rounds per minute, per gun, and there were 3 miniguns on board the AC-47. That's "astronomical" in "scope". Of course the AC-130 Specter gunship had even more firepower and they are still using it today in both theaters. That would be the CineMax and the Century. ;) And in keeping this astronomically on target (no pun), they preferred to operate at night like Astronomers and bats. ;) and used lasers! Ooorah!

Let me know when you guys are running this test. Think I'll stay home that night.
