    Applied Energetics, Inc./Registration on Form S-3/File No. 333-260037

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), we hereby request acceleration of the effective date of the aforesaid Registration Statement on Form
S-3 of Applied Energetics, Inc.  We request an effective date of Friday, November 19, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, or as soon
thereafter as practicable.

We confirm that we are aware of our obligations under
the Act.  We hereby acknowledge that:

  -  should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant
to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
filing;

  -  the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant
to delegated authority, in delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

  -  the company may not assert this action as a defense
in any proceeding initiated by the

Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United
States.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information or documentation regarding this matter.

    Very truly yours,

    Applied Energetics, Inc.
