Great post guys. Thanks for setting up the board. I have been long on USHG for over 1 month now. Here is my rational for breaking my rule of locking profits on USHG. I am going to hold and roll on this one.

Independently performed research across the last 5 years has pointed out that ultra short laser pulse, high intensity modulation instability seeds “filaments”. It is a well-documented fact. These filaments travel together in parallel and will combine below the ionization threshold due to the Kerr effect. Since the laser pulse ionizes the air on its path the filaments are electrically conductive and essentially form “virtual wires”. Because of the conductivity aspect of LIPC applications could include
1) Communications
2) Power Transfer
3) Low power tasar charges
4) High power charges (generated lightning bolts)
5) Natural lightning trigger and channeling

An added benefit I believe that has not received much attention is that the plasma generates white light. This is because the filament formation nonlinear effects convert the initially monochromatic laser beam into a spectrum from 300 nm in Ultraviolet to 4.5 um in the infrared. This is a bonus that enables superior remote spectroscopy of atmospheric pollutants. (read gas attack or industrial pollution detection)

As was pointed out in the August 2001 Physics Today article, this plasma based broad spectrum of light beats out the common ladir technique for pollution detection and identification. This is because it enables multispectral lidar, which adds spectral resolution to the spatial resolution of lidar. The benefits of LIPC over ladir are:

1)Multiple pollutants can be measured at one time (no ladir single pollutant tuning required)
2)The plasma generates it’s own infrared emissions that can be more easily detected (at up to 13 km so far by TeraMobile)
3)The broadband nature of the filaments spectrum of scattered light depends on the size of the scattering particles increasing detection and identification of pollutants.

So when you think about it the USHG technology is the basis for a highly advanced security asset. It could remotely detect airborne chemical and biological agents as well as zapping incoming aircraft, boats and surface vehicles. Potentially in a non lethal fashion. What’s not to like about that!

When you add this to the potential for power management, industrial pollution monitoring and communication applications one comes to the conclusion that we have not even begun to expose the full potential of LIPC applications.

Ionatron cannot patent the concept. But they will get a patent on their implementation of ultra short laser pulse filaments. Considering the size of this market, this is a potential bonanza!

Long & Strong,
Kris
