(ET) Laser Mowing Deck

["Markus Lorch" <mlorch vt edu>]

All,

I just wanted to inform you guys about a development I learned about
a little while ago: Wolf Garten, a german company, has patented a 
laser powered mowing deck. See

I think this would be the ideal replacement for our ET mower decks,
but .... well I assume they need something like a 100W laser to cut
a 40" wide path and when I look at how much power is consumed by industrial
lasers in that category I realize that it is quite a bit more than what our
batteries can provide

Anyhow, any laser specialists in the group?
