Hey everyone.
So a friend wants to make a bet with me - that he can build a free-electron laser for under a thousand bucks, and that it will be in the tens to hundreds of milliwatt range, no less!
I think this is impossible, but what does everyone else think?
Don't get me wrong - the guy's almost as brilliant as I am. I just don't think the technology is here yet to be able to make a garage FEL.
