It was sweeping round swiftly and steadily, this flaming death, this invisible, inevitable sword of heat. I perceived it coming towards me by the flashing bushes it touched, and was too astounded and stupefied to stir. I heard the crackle of fire in the sand pits and the sudden squeal of a horse that was as suddenly stilled. Then it was as if an invisible yet intensely heated finger were drawn through the heather between me and the Martians, and all along a curving line beyond the sand pits the dark ground smoked and crackled. Something fell with a crash far away to the left where the road from Woking station opens out on the common. Forthwith the hissing and humming ceased, and the black, domelike object sank slowly out of sight into the pit.

How about good old fashioned "Hot Lead"?
The surface temperature of a target will continue to rise so long as the beam is applied, at a rate dictated by the target's material and distance from the transmitter, along with the beam's frequency and power level set by the operator. Most human test subjects reached their pain threshold within 3 seconds, and none could endure more than 5 seconds.
Worst case - the operator(s) leave it on a subject too long at too high of a power and the subject can develop 1st degree burns, possibly even 2nd degree burns (minor blistering). These are just surface burns, not deep tissue trauma.
Why aren't we using these already?
It is as non-lethal as getting hit by a blast of heat from opening a hot oven. It has questionable value unless the “ray” (microwaves) hits bare skin. Has not yet been used anywhere for a number of reasons. They sent some working versions, mounted on a tank like vehicle, to Afghanistan but they were not used.
Is it now a crime for the police to seak non-lethal options for crowd control?
Another nod to “Left Behind”...
Thats quite a list of Deep State anti-Trumpers.
