    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]

  3. Apparently an anti-aircraft death ray too, but against very low flying aircraft judging by the range displayed...

    Possibly the sort of altitude/range where the prop strikes the ground first?

    I'm still waiting for the real story of the LePage Glue Gun.
