>intriguing! Imagine, being able to direct (assuming I understood the 
>research correctly) a high voltage discharge with a laser beam. Does 
>anyone know how this is even possible??? How can a laser which emits 
>photons (a mass less particle... emphasis) direct a flow of plasma? If 
>anyone does get a chance to see this again, take a look at the car test. 
>Its amazing! They shot the laser over the car, sent a discharge along the
