US Navy unveils sea-based laser weapon that will be deployed to Persian Gulf - Apr 2013
The U.S. Navy has unveiled a ship-mounted infrared laser weapon that can bring down drones and disable other ships.
The Navy said it intends to deploy the weapon to the Persian Gulf area in 2014 in what some are saying is a response to Iran's development of drones.
Officials say the Laser Weapons System (LaWS) provides ships a method to easily defeat small boat threats and aerial targets without using bullets, and the associated expense of ammunition.
LaWS shoots high-powered infrared laser at the target and "operates much like a blowtorch ... with an unlimited magazine," a Navy official told FOXNews.com.
A video demonstration released Monday (8 April) http://bit.ly/10Pvoyk shows LaWS striking and bring down a remote-controlled target aircraft.

Three rockets fired by Palestinian militants at southern Israel leaves a thin trail of white smoke, seen between buildings in Gaza City
Gaza Conflict - 16 Nov 2012
Militants in the Gaza Strip pounded southern Israel with rocket fire on Thursday, killing three people as the Israeli military pressed forward with a second day of intense air raids and naval attacks on militant targets. With Israel threatening to invade the Palestinian territory, the heaviest fighting between Israel and Hamas in four years showed no signs of letting up.

Hot tub boat, The Netherlands - 03 Oct 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Hot Tug / Rex Features (1894158d)
A wood-fired hot tub in which people can sail.
A Whale Of A Time: Hot Tub Boat
You may be surprised to learn this boat does not have a leak but purposely has water inside enabling its users to relax in a Jacuzzi bath.
The team at Hot Tug in The Netherlands have created a hot tub boat, which will easily ferry six to eight passengers whether or not the glass fibre-reinforced polyester hull is filled with water.
Heated by a wooden stove on board the water is guaranteed to be hot no matter how cold the water outside the boat is.
It works as either a floating hot tub or a regular boat.
Prices start at approximately GBP 7,000 for just the boat and go up to around GBP 13,000 for an electric boat with a stainless steel wood burner and four Zenith batteries with eight of sailing.
To turn the boat into a hot tub users are required to fill it up with a whopping 2,000 litres of water, which then takes three hours to reach the desired temperature of 38 degrees Celsius.
It can then be emptied using a submersible pump.

Photographer captures exact moment pellet fired from an airgun speeds through water drop, America - Feb 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by NTI Media Ltd / Rex Features (1571434i)
To Catch A Speeding Bullet
These astonishing images capture a speeding airgun pellet slicing through a falling water drop.
The shots were taken by retired American police officer Dennis Havel after a fellow photography enthusiast bet him 50 US Dollars that it couldn't be done.
According to Dennis taking the amazing photos owed more to science than art, with the process a complicated one.
In the end he built a device that allowed the drop to fall, pellet to fire and camera to flash all at the press of a single button.
The 63-year-old said: "For a couple of years it's been a challenge to capture a water drop splashing, it's very difficult to do because it falls so quickly.
"I've been a member of the Nikon Cafe forum and amongst several of us we developed a friendly challenge to see who could do a better water drop photo.
"I blindly made a statement saying I am going to shoot a water drop with a pellet.
"So I thought about it and constructed a contraption within a couple of days"
The grandfather-of-two used mathematics and physics to calculate the timings down to 20,000ths of a second.
He added: "I'm not an expert photographer - it was more of a mathematics and physics thing.
"A lot of calculations have to be done, it is down to 20,000ths of a second.
"I use infa red detectors so when the drop is released it breaks the beam which starts a sequence in a timer module made specially for this called a 'stopshot'.
"Once the falling water drop breaks that beam, it starts the timer and I've pre-calculated how long it will take to drop 13 inches.
"I have the timer set so it fires the flash a couple of thousands of seconds after the drop is released so it fires when the drop is in the middle of the frame."
"But it is getting the gun to fire at the right time that is apparently the diff...

According to Dennis taking the amazing photos owed more to science than art, with the process a complicated one.
In the end he built a device that allowed the drop to fall, pellet to fire and camera to flash all at the press of a single button.
The 63-year-old said: "For a couple of years it's been a challenge to capture a water drop splashing, it's very difficult to do because it falls so quickly.
"I've been a member of the Nikon Cafe forum and amongst several of us we developed a friendly challenge to see who could do a better water drop photo.
"I blindly made a statement saying I am going to shoot a water drop with a pellet.
"So I thought about it and constructed a contraption within a couple of days"
The grandfather-of-two used mathematics and physics to calculate the timings down to 20,000ths of a second.
He added: "I'm not an expert photographer - it was more of a mathematics and physics thing.
"A lot of calculations have to be done, it is down to 20,000ths of a second.
"I use infa red detectors so when the drop is released it breaks the beam which starts a sequence in a timer module made specially for this called a 'stopshot'.
"Once the falling water drop breaks that beam, it starts the timer and I've pre-calculated how long it will take to drop 13 inches.
"I have the timer set so it fires the flash a couple of thousands of seconds after the drop is released so it fires when the drop is in the middle of the frame."
"But it is getting the gun to fire at the right time that is apparently the diff...

To Catch A Speeding Bullet
These astonishing images capture a speeding airgun pellet slicing through a falling water drop.
The shots were taken by retired American police officer Dennis Havel after a fellow photography enthusiast bet him 50 US Dollars that it couldn't be done.

12LVE Destroyed Apple products project, San Francisco, America - Dec 2010

The Man Who Shot, Burned and Ran A Train Over His Apple Products
If an iPod is on your Christmas list look away now - an artist has shot, burned, hammered and sawed his way through a range of Apple products.
Heartless Michael Tompert even ran over a selection of iPods with a TRAIN.
San Francisco-based Michael spent months purchasing the doomed products, which range from 2008's colourful range of iPods to the sought-after 2010 iPad
He hooked up with photographer friend Paul Fairchild to capture the end results of various kill methods.
Methods of destruction varied by product. A MacBook Air was decorated with nine neat bulletholes courtesy of a 9mm Heckler & Koch handgun, while a Magic Mouse was sliced up with a handsaw.
And Michael even took the drastic action of placing seven iPod Nanos on the tracks in the path of a Caltrain Diesel Locomotive.
But it was the iPad that proved the hardest to kill. Described by Michael as "practically indestructible", it shrugged off blows from an 8lb sledgehammer before finally meeting it's maker (Steve Jobs?) after its insides were heated with a soldering torch until it exploded.
Michael got the idea for the project after he bought his two sons an iPod Touch each for Christmas. The boys started to fight over one of the mp3 players which had a certain game installed.
His patience finally snapping, Michael grabbed one of the iPods and smashed it on the ground, to the amazement of his children.
"I had given my kids an iPod Touch so they would be happy and love me. But when the argument started I just grabbed it and smashed it in front of them because it was just a thing.
"It was still going and the screen was all liquid, it was kind of fascinating. We...
