A fun exercise calculating the roundtrip time for a signal from a radar gun to catch a speeding vehicle traveling.

Our hacker [Wil Carver] has sent in his submission for the One Hertz Challenge: Precise Time Ref via 1 Pulse-Per-Second GPS ...

LCLS-II’s XFEL, however, offers as many as a million X-ray pulses per second—roughly 8,000 times more often, as well as 10,000 times brighter, than its progenitor.

When at full power, LCLS-II will be able to pump out around a million X-ray pulses per second, about 8,000 times more than its predecessor, which was able to create around 120 X-ray pulses per second.

The taser delivers 19 short pulses per second over 5 seconds, with an average current of 2 milliamps, according to TASER manufacturer Axon.

By firing 10,000 laser pulses per second, ICESat-2 builds a highly detailed, three-dimensional record of Earth’s changing surface. Its ability to measure elevation shifts in polar regions has ...

A few years back, they learned of a German company developing lasers capable of blasting 1,000 pulses per second. The groups teamed up to develop a laser specifically for lightning.

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) upgrade, LCLS-II, can emit up to a million X-ray pulses per second (8,000 times more than the original) and an almost continuous beam 10,000 times brighter ...
