If there are a laser that are strong why can it be use for shooting mind fields?

Answer 1

Lasers are expensive, energy inefficient, depend on focusing onto a very small area to obtain high intensity, and have negligible momentum transfer (just heat), so won't penetrate soil very far. Even if you had one powerful enough to cause the soil to vaporize and explode (setting off the mine by the *explosion's* momentum transfer), you'd still need to know exactly where the mine was beforehand. That's the real trick to mine clearing - finding the damn things. Once you know that, a rifle bullet will do the job for the cost of a 25 cents cartridge.

Lasers are only competitive as a weapon of choice when accuracy and delivery speed are the primary issues, like against incoming missles.

Answer 2

I presume you mean mine field?

A laser beam is very narrow, one would have to know where the mines are in the first place.
Second, mines are usually buried, a laser would first have to vaporize top soil, and thta is not an esay proposal.
By the way, current lasers convert only a tiny fraction of supplied power into a beam of light.

Answer 3

Maybe you meant "clearing mine fields"?
With a laser? - not very effective energy wise.
There are much better ways to clear minefields.

Answer 4

For crying out loud, will you buy hooked on phonics. Geeez

Answer 5

what?
