With a mirror that is strong enough, you could theoretically evaporate planets. Note that since the Penrose Process converts energy from the black hole's spin, it isn't unlimited and will eventually run out depending on which black hole you use (albeit over an extremely long period of time). | |

You'd basically fire a gamma ray at the black hole, let it circle a bunch of times, then channel it at some unfortunate target? Hm, any idea on the actual #'s for the power of something like that? Would it make the laser more powerful by one order of magnitude? 10? Sorry for the long delay, worlds been busy xD | |
