Be Very Afraid: Sharks Now Come Equipped With Freakin’ Lasers - garnerrodn1986

Dr. Evil, eat your heart verboten. The waters just got a whole lot murkier, because one shark packs a good deal more than just a nasty bite. Meet the shark with a freakin' laser attached to its dorsal V.

I don't know why a naval unit biologist would want to cook sharks scarier, simply Luke Tipple–known for his appearances on Shark Week–has through hardly that. Saint Luke clipped a 50-milliwatt green laser onto a shark's fin in the Caribbean Sea, every for a small experimentation. The laser itself is from Wicked Lasers' newest line, the S3 Krypton.

As IT turns out, Luke wasn't in reality interested in the laser organism attached to a shark, but the trot it was connected to. He wanted to try out his new not-artful clamping equipment, which breaks down in the water after a number of months. In addition to the clip testing, though, Luke also monitored the shark's speed and trajectory, and to see if sharks avoid certain types of laser energy, dependent of wavelength and spectrum. Eastern Samoa it turns come out, other sharks were quite attracted to the super beam.

Ok, so the clip is pretty animal-congenial, but wouldn't the laser beam harm other sea life story (and masses!) around the shark? The laser beam used is on the last ability setting available, sol nobody would equal in any danger if they hybrid the shark's route (well, not from the beam anyway!). In other words, Dr. Evil's hellish plans will have to wait for some other day…
