I see that its what I thought, a measuring device however would be very expensive. I think however if I compare it to the efficiency of other lasers I end up with a very small rating around 50 milliwatts. The irony is that the thing is about 16 inches long and has a 2 inch diameter yet most...

no the rating on the side says 20 milli amps 5000 volts

I have found a 5000 volt 20 milliamp laser at a Ham fest now logic tells me the power of the laser would be simply 5000V*0.02A= 10watt input then loses would maybe make it one watt. however I really doubt that it has that much power. I haven't been able to find a power supply capable either of...

Problem is there is no meaningful amount heavy water in tap water. If the water had say 10% heavy water in it I bet there are loads of processes that would work but to extract meaningful amounts from normal tap water is not feasible.

Steel wins every time. Good steel cable is double the strength of a kevlar wire Same size of course. However it really only matters how small you can get the filaments in the cable to be. If you take braided fishing line and made a 1/2inch rope you would get around 6000 pounds safely on it...
