Dragon Eater builds on decentralized energy sources - you need the entire society to run it - and it is itself stationary. These characteristics makes it as much ''pacifistic'' as an ultra-high-energy defense weapon can be. | Dragon Eater builds also on decentralized energy sources - you need the entire society to run it - and it is itself stationary.

National energy infrastructures are connected to defense towers to mostly vaporize | National energy infrastructures are connected to defense towers to mostly vaporize or burn rockets and dropped bombs. Nothing is faster than light. So even hypersonic rockets with nuclear warheads can be destroyed if enough energy comes with the laser beam and its creating plasma channel. | ||

* decentralized power generation, storage, transport and usage: renewables, power-to-gas, h2 grid, fuel cells in houses and industry, parking electric cars are connected to the power grid | * plasma lenses to focus high-energy lasers | ||
* patterned laser light to create hollow channels, range extension by inner reflections | |||
* high frequency to create the final plasma channel | |||
* additional energy is delivered through the channel and works as a lightning strike to pierce and melt the objects on contact | |||
