li-ion battery for the hand held version?
Would make a hella defensive weapon!


Check out the video link I posted earlier. There's a huge base unit that is attached
to the device that you see being used by the operator. I'm guessing we're years away
from anything that can be considered portable.

The video you posted is 6 yrs old. "Portable" is already a reality:

Increase the mobility of laser cleaning with the mobile trolley. It fits in the back of your
car an can be loaded by one person only."

However, IMO battery powered probably is *many* years away.

For those wondering if the technology works on wood:
