A groundhog held out for 20 minutes.īy 1945, there were plans to couple four tubes to get an output power of up to 300 kW and a much bigger reflector.

The good news? The weapon killed a rabbit at 30 meters. Remember magnetrons were new tech then, so a frequency of about 375 MHz was quite high for the day. The tube drove a dipole and a 1 m reflector. Scale Upīy 1944, they built an 80 cm, 30 kW tube. Engines didn’t see much effect unless they were totally exposed to the beam. Even two meters away, the weapon caused damage to test animals. They did have success on animal tests in 1943. The goal was to develop a microwave weapon that could kill people, but also disable engines from a distance. They poured about a half-million dollars into research under General Sueyoshi Kusaba. In fact, the device used a magnetron - high tech for those days, but now found in every kitchen microwave. The Japanese, however, were in active development of Ku-Go, a real death ray. He envisioned it as a peacekeeping defensive weapon, rendering attacks so futile that no one would dare attempt them. Tesla didn’t like the term death ray, partly because it wasn’t a ray at all, but also because it required a huge power plant and, therefore, wasn’t mobile.

Perhaps the holy grail of all the super weapons - both realized and dreamed of was the “death ray.” Of course, Tesla claimed to have one that didn’t use rays, but particles, but no one ever successfully built one and there was debate if it would work. The British had Hobart’s Funnies as well as less successful entries like the Panjandrum - a ten-foot rocket-driven wheel of explosives. Everyone was working on a nuclear bomb, of course. The Germans worked on Wunderwaffe, including guided missiles, jets, suborbital rocket bombers, and a solar-powered space mirror to burn terrestrial targets. But we aren’t working on anything - that we know of - as revolutionary as a rocket, an atomic bomb, or even radar was back in the 1940s. Sure, we develop better planes, tanks, submarines, and guns. A Churchill Bullshorn plough for clearning minefields - one of Hobart’s “Funnies” Another defining factor is that it doesn’t seem we seek out superweapons anymore. Nor could you dig tunnels right under your captor’s nose. You can’t sneak a fleet of ships across the oceans anymore. Historians may note that World War II was the last great “movie war.” In those days, you could do many things that are impossible today, yet make for great movie drama.
