The DoD Should Pay These Guys...

In case you haven't seen it already, a company named Intellectual Ventures thinks that they may have a new way to combat malaria, an automatic, computer-controlled, anti-mosquito laser that can shoot down fifty to a hundred mosquitoes per second. That's the equivalent of over a hundred bodyguards armed with flyswatters. Laser flyswatters. Mosquito-vaporizing laser flyswatters. No word on whether maniacal laughter is involved; presumably that's optional with Service Pack 2.


If you don't mind watching insects die, there's some high speed video at the bottom of this post.


Science! Because sometimes you just need an automated death ray.
