Re: Laser guided Tesla Coil

hello again everybody !earl here ! i happen to have read up a little on this subject not a lot !but some and it would seem that if there was any laser that could be capable of this it is a t.e.a laser (transverse electrical discharge at atmospheric pressure ) this (nitrogen) laser itself if powerful enough will pre ionize the air this says to me that it could help in either conducting or directing electricity in a particular direction !but then i may be getting mixed up !its worth looking into if thats your direction and they are completly home buildable not much needed ( just plain old cool air ) thats all 
regards earl

    I haven't.  Its been done by 'professionals'
    (which is not to be takend as a 'knock' on anyone.

> Is there any way to conduct a voltage along a path like a laser beam?
    The research I am thinking of was done in Japan, likely on
    the web, somewhere.  Really, Really, Powerful laser beam
    ionizes the air gasses, which makes 'air' conductive.
    The given reason was for lightning protection (tho it
    seems unpractical to me...), roughly:
     Sense a stroke is about to happen.
     Fire beam at mirror.
     (Mirror is targeted to point beam at stroke source area in
      storm.)
     Stroke follows conductive path to conveniently located
     lightning rod, which protects mirror, rod and mirror are
     positioned to protect a 'high value' 'thing' nearby.
