Real Laser Gun!

This is a hand-operated laser cutter used for nuclear decommissioning – what the video.

Question of the Day

Look at his stance and how firmly he’s holding onto the gun for possible recoil… I can’t quite figure out why. There is no contact with the material so there shouldn’t be any pushing or pulling while the cutting process is happening. He’s cutting a round pipe so even if he had a compressor going full-blast to push the stream of debris away ahead of him, it wouldn’t offer much if any resistance to push him back anyhow.

I guess this is one of those things you got to do yourself!
