I don't think NASA lasers are this straight. And this shows why tree straps are required on live trees.

This is at (repeated) full-stall with 2 batteries & a 130A alternator (which typically maxes out close to 150A), and the cable is mostly out, so there's about 12Kipf on the line, making ~24Kipf on the tree.
