yep is 1.3

wrt plumbing

df is doing ok at HP

but there are no HE coils

strange
maybe they thought would be more compact?

but abl 14 mod would be heavier bigger than thel

The attraction of COIL is both the wavelength (thus smaller optics), and the beam quality (allows easier/cleaner propagation). Powers similar to HF/DF have not been achieved yet. But then some of the biggest lasers ever were CO2, but because of their even longer wavelength and large size, they too did not cut it. Looks like solid state lasers, fiber lasers and maybe some new electric gas lasers may be where it is at for the future.
