Could You Build the Death Star's Laser?

Even non star wars fans know about the Death Star. It's maybe the most iconic doomsday weapon, known for blowing up entire planets. But you could never build a laser that big.... right? Well maybe. Chemical lasers are the closest real world equivalent and they can pack an immense punch. In this video we explore one such laser called and AGIL or All Gas Iodine Laser which is currently in use by the military.
