I still do not fully understand what they mean by computer speeds.
A fella was on Coast to Coast A.M. recently..said that this was the basic problem for alot of the tech applications they have tried.

I used to operate a Cryogenic nitrogen Plasma gantry ..big scale..50 ton remote control cranes..underwater cut.

Our shielding was basically solid alloy metals..solenids sequencing by compuetr...the tolerances were severe..any divergence in tolerances and the Plasma stream would errupt..
Ceramic/Alloy insulators can take you just so far as application goes.

Boeing Zenon Ion drive thrusters work similar to my Plasma machine..their shielding is mechanical.
The new power applications require pure Magnetic fields..with the harmonics balanced.

We had some massive detonations....I can image the risk when trying to play with Terra Watts.

Computer speed referrs to how fast it computes in eg
MFLOPs
million floating point operations per second

that has to do with the size of the packet traveling on the "bus" at a certain speed

now even apple has a 64 bit addressable word (packet)
for a few $k maybe more. This goes along the computer bus at a certain drop off speed.

32 bit addressable is more common than this on desktops and it might not all be addressable.

So the packets need to get bigger and the speed of the bus faster to increase the amount of data tranferred. There are many computer architectures and ideas for the "packets."









Terra watts might be pulsed multiply by rep rate gives average power

for a laser usually pico femto or other small fraction of a second

but don't get in the way for the ssl's
