this could be interesting...
or not.
when i was younger,i used to know this guy who loved thinking up things like free energy devices and many other schemes based on his wide,but perhaps not complete,learnings.
we called him a techie/druid.
he was a friend,so i will say he was very capable in many ways.
he designed the yurt we built and lived in up near mt. adams.
so,one of his ideas was what he called a combustion gas dynamic laser.
he proposed using acetylene as the gas and i think he said you would cycle or pump gas through it.
i guess that would be the gas dynamic part.
his thinking was,i guess,based on all the energy contained in the high electron population of acetylene.
any of you smart fellows have any real thoughts on something like this?
