From my understanding of the real world, "lazer" isn't a word. LASER is an acronym, and as I keep saying, no matter how American you may think you are, "ztimulated" is still not a real word - even in America.
But the power of two Laser weapons with their beams "crossing" would only double the amount of heat generated in that pocket of air. Since the primary heat generation is delivered to the target, rather than to the air between firer and target, this would be a negligible heat increase. It doesn't really make sense for the laser to be producing plasma in mid-air unless there are plasma explosions on the target just from the heat generated by a single beam. |

I never said the lazer producer plasma I said if the air arround the points of contact were to be superheated the air would effectively become plasma . It was just a cool thought to ponder over . I was pointing out that the heat produced by two beams crossing would be less than the heat produced by a single beam's contact with a solid surface. Given that fact, making lasers produce plasma from "crossing the beams" could only make sense if the impact of a single laser on a target also produces a significant amount more plasma than what you see at the crossing-point of two beams.
It might be interesting to see a plasma burst form if two laser beams hit the same point on a solid target though. It's reasonable for that scenario to produce plasma without requiring the same to be true of a single beam's impact on target. |
