Interesting new DIY(ish) toy!

I wonder what it would do to GRP?

What would happen to AF if it got burnt off like this? Would it end up killing you?

Here's a video:

Says it works with plastic, so at 50,000 USD say 30,000 UKP seems like a business opportunity ( Subject to health and safety) please feel free to test on my boat if you want !

That's a lot of Antifoul to vaporise before making any sort of profit... I suppose you wouldn't be able to plug that into a 13amp socket either.

At least 10KW I would expect unless lasers have drastically improved efficiency recently - so even a 32A supply wouldn't cut it unless it was 3 phase. Actually 1KW is powerful enough to use as a cutter for sheet metal.
