Here It Comes: The YESHA Ray Gun

Ever wanted a microwave “pain beam”? A sort of ray-gun?



Got $250,000?

Here is what the Americans tried to develop but didn't succeed:-




The story comes from here and some excerpts:

The Active Denial System heats the target’s skin with short microwaves. These only penetrate to about 1/64 of an inch. That’s enough to be extremely painful but (generally) harmless. In thousands of tests of the system, nobody has been able to stay in the beam for more than a few seconds.

Existing Active Denial devices use a gyrotron, a type of free-electron maser...

...[an] Israeli team is taking a different approach. Researchers at the College of Judea & Samaria (CJS), led by Dr. Moshe Einat, say that they have developed “unique know-how” which will allow them to build portable versions of the Active Denial..they claim that: 'The development of the 95 GHz portable gyrotron to be used as the basis for a Stun-Gun prototype would cost approximately $250,000 (U.S.), with the program running 12 months in length.'
