>The laser tube produces a beam infra-red light the diameter of a pencil - which is focussed down onto a spot about 1/30th of a millimeter across, of course with the result that whatever it touches “goes away”.
That makes sense and I do not doubt it exists, I just don't see it in situations like pic related.
Every entire house burned HOT… completely reduced to white ash.
While trees next to it didn't burn at all.
I can't see a plane-delivered DEW circling overhead to paint the entire house and reduce it to white ash.
Rather it would hit each house once and move on.
In a single hotspot fire I would expect to see some areas of white ash and some that burned slower or less hot in black ash.
That's why I think it more likely a different ignition delivery that could hit just the houses.
Considering every house has a power line…
An overvoltage that sparks every outlet and appliance in the house at once –
the fire starts everywhere at once and the whole house is a hotspot.
// or maybe don't buy the power line idea but somehow the ash color doesn't match the DEW theory for me.
