60 kilowatts of directed energy — enough to power up to 60 homes. Sixty kilowatts ...
That's enough to power 32 hair dryers ...

“Optical Dazzler”
Now that is great name! “The Dazzler”
“The HELIOS system’s deep magazine, low cost per kill, speed of light delivery...”
But how fast can it fire? What’s the rate of fire? (maybe I should read the article?) It’s weird they talked about all those advantages but didn’t mention the very important recharge time and how many times it can fire before it overheats.

If the beam is 60kW, then there should be a DC power supply putting out maybe 150 to 200kW to run it. That would be a whopper.

I’m curious what the duty cycle is. We probably won’t get full specs on it.

It’s enough to power 60 homes if they are green, sustainable, about 150 square feet each and have no need for appliances.
