I really don't get all the pooh-poohing and skepticism. Lasers have been around for decades. From destructive military lasers to harmless laser pointers - like everything else, the size and cost of the technology is getting smaller and smaller. I've had watch-battery powered laser sights on my weapons for years. A coil fired, spark plug sized ceramic laser that can ignite an air/fuel mixture seems like a no-brainer to me and the benefits of a precisely controlled ignition system make perfect sense. Hell, I'm actually surprised this hasn't been done before now!
