Burning it to ashes in an instant is overkill though more satisfying.. With weak Lasers will only be dangerous to humans with a direct hit in the eye maybe. | ||

Alternatively, if the beam is weaker, some sophisticated tracking device will need to be built to follow the movement of a mosquito and sustain the beam, which is highly cost-ineffective. A much bigger version of this is already being tested..Google YAL-1. My thoughts exactly. Not to mention the extreme difficulty of making it only target female misquitos. Africas eco system is already fragile enough. Well not so much the hazard or hurting people but the highly cost inffective. Unless of course you want a feel good, media friendly project and you're a high tec software/technology mogul. And your wife is a bleeding heart save the world type person and you want to make her happy too. Oh wait! I really wouldn't take this idea too seriously. I doubt it will ever be operational. | ||
