Directed Energy Weapon movie clip collection (lasers and masers in the battles of the future)
various

Posted on 03/27/2007 12:56:45 PM PDT by Wiz

These are some of the movie clips I have found related with directed energy weapons. If you are interested in weapons or technology, these are some fantastic movie clips to enjoy with. I have been collecting these on my own and thought to share it with others. There were some systems that I could not find with any movie clips, which I will leave links of the articles related to those in my comment.

This is a movie clip about a DIY EMP weapon which might not fit in the collection, but I found it interesting in terms of possibilities to install this DIY EMP on military vehicles to zap the fuse or electronics of IEDs used by terrorists in Iraq with high powered radio frequency, disabling IEDs.

Fictional, at least for now:

P.S. They aren't actually even lasers, either.

See Wikipedia for that. If we ever could manage to find evidence of gravitons, and even emit them from devices, it will be a revolution, allowing graviton propulsion, graviton sensors, graviton communication, and graviton directed weapons. It will also allow bending electromagnetic waves, bend laser and give more flexibility of laser like a mortar to reach over the other side of an obstacle.

I don't think anything that fancy was ever involved in Podkletnov's experiments and the USAF and Boeing appear to have taken him seriously. The experiments involved rotating semiconductors. His beam weapon, if it is real, would produce a couple hundred pounds of impact on a target. That might make it the ultimate anti-katusha rocket weapon since that would probably deflect a katusha rocket into flyover country. It would not be a weapon to compete with or replace an 8" howitzer.

Fascinating. Bump for later reading on beam weapons.
