infrared 

Infrared. A similar device called Bluetooth. Infrared is not ment for long distance connectivity, say through mobiles. The opposition has to be within touching distance. Infrared is a device, allowing you to connect (as i said, say through mobiles) to each device to swap and take out files of any sort, from either a computer, mobile, or any other portable device with infrared.
I used infrared connectivity to swap ringtones with my mate.
I used infrared to sawp picture files through my computer.

Infrared Igniter

A device that uses infrared radiation—heat, essentially—to initiate reactions through thermal excitation rather than electrical sparks or high-energy photons. Infrared igniters are the sophisticated cousins of the humble match: they deliver precisely controlled thermal energy to exactly where it's needed, igniting fuels or materials without the complexity of lasers or plasmas. They're used in industrial furnaces, gas turbines, and any application where you need reliable, repeatable ignition without the electromagnetic interference of spark systems. In practice, an infrared igniter is a very fancy, very expensive heating element that glows hot enough to light things on fire. It's technology that's been around since humans discovered fire, just with better temperature control.
*Example: "The gas turbine used infrared igniters because they were simple, reliable, and didn't create radio interference that would confuse the sensitive instruments. They were essentially high-tech glow plugs, doing the same job as the element in your toaster but at 2000 degrees and with much more expensive paperwork. They worked perfectly, which meant no one ever thought about them."*

Infrared Machine 1000W

A 1000-watt (1kW) integrated infrared system representing serious industrial and military capability. At 1kW, the beam can cut through 30mm steel, vaporize any known material, and be sustained for hours with proper cooling. The 1kW Machine requires three-phase power, industrial water cooling, and professional operators. In the world of infrared weapons, 1kW is considered the baseline for “hard kill” anti-materiel systems.

Infrared Machine 1200W

A 1200-watt integrated infrared system offering improved speed and power over the 1kW model. At 1200W, the beam can cut through 40mm steel, maintain stability even in challenging conditions, and deliver more energy faster. The extra 200 watts make it the choice for heavy industry and military applications requiring maximum performance.

Example: "The shipyard's 1200W Infrared Machine was the largest in the region. When the navy contracted for 'special projects,' the machine got a new control panel and a security detail."
Infrared Machine 1000W Example: "The 1kW Infrared Machine was installed in a hangar. The official purpose was 'materials testing.' The radar tracking antenna mounted beside it told a different story."

infrared Machine 2000W

A 2000-watt (2kW) integrated infrared system representing the current frontier of practical infrared weapons. At 2kW, the beam cuts through 60mm steel, penetrates armor plate, and can be sustained indefinitely with proper infrastructure. The 2kW Machine requires dedicated power substations, industrial water cooling, and full-time professional operation. In the world of directed-energy, 2kW is the threshold for “strategic” thermal weapons—capable of destroying incoming missiles, cutting through ship hulls, and serving as the core of national defense networks.

Example: "The 2kW Infrared Machine was housed in a bunker. The official purpose was 'research.' The generator farm and security detail told the real story."

Infrared Light 5W

A low-power infrared device operating at 5 watts—enough to produce a focused beam of invisible heat for testing, sensing, or non-destructive evaluation. In laboratory settings, it’s used for thermal analysis, spectroscopy, or targeting simulations. In the world of directed-energy development, the 5W “Light” is the harmless face: it can warm a surface, but its weaponization potential is minimal. The difference between a 5W infrared source and a 40W igniter is a matter of focus and power scaling.

Infrared Igniter 40W

A 40-watt infrared device capable of generating a focused beam of heat that can ignite materials, disrupt sensors, and cause localized thermal damage. The “Igniter” label reflects its ability to start fires and initiate thermal reactions without contact. In industrial applications, it might be used for precision heating or welding. In military speculation, it represents the entry point for compact thermal weapons—enough to blind IR cameras, ignite fuel, or disable a drone’s optical sensors from a distance.

Example: "The 40W Infrared Igniter was marketed as a 'precision heating tool.' The fact that it could also ignite a fuel can from across the room was not in the manual."
Infrared Light 5W Example: "The 5W Infrared Light was a lab curiosity. The engineer who built it was already sketching a 40W version for 'thermal processing.'"

Infrared Igniter 80W

An 80-watt infrared device representing the serious entry point for portable thermal weapons. At 80W, the beam can melt plastics, ignite combustibles, and cause permanent damage to unshielded sensors. The device is compact enough to be vehicle-mounted or carried in a backpack. In underground development circles, 80W is the threshold where infrared weapons become credible—powerful enough to be effective, focused enough to be targeted, and silent enough to be deniable.

Example: "The 80W Infrared Igniter was tested on a drone. The beam melted the plastic housing and the drone fell. The test was never officially documented."

Infrareded 

To shoot infrared lasers at moths from a dogs eyes with intent to kill and monch.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.

countrypolitan 

Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
