I have seen a video or two and read a few things. But i have never heard this guys named mentioned before. I have NO IDEA how to spell his name. It sounds like Air force Colonel Shruder Stranz. He starts in the below video at 16:20 Was this legit, or just a Myth, based on facts of the day.? They say he built a functioning prototype that disappeared. Thank You
Death ray - Wikipedia The death ray or death beam was a theoretical particle beam or electromagnetic weapon first theorized around the 1920s and 1930s. Around that time, notable inventors such as Guglielmo Marconi,[1] Nikola Tesla, Harry Grindell Matthews, Edwin R. Scott, Erich Graichen[2] and others claimed to have invented it independently.[3] In 1957, the National Inventors Council was still issuing lists of needed military inventions that included a death ray.[4] This is ahand held death ray from 1930 SKIL 1930 AA LASER
Apparently an anti-aircraft death ray too, but against very low flying aircraft judging by the range displayed...
