I know I haven't updated this blog in months, but I've finally got a reason to breathe new life into it; Phoenix Protocol got a shot of life and now we're back on the right track.
For those who don't know, Phoenix Protocol is a website I run dedicated to discussion and debate of cutting edge technologies, science fiction, and everything mad science. The site is also tied to a micronation project that many of us have been working towards for people interested in that field.
And on unrelated news....I'M MAKING A DEATH RAY, HOO-HA!
I gutted a 1200 watt microwave not too long ago and the magnetron, inverter, and capacitor are all intact. I plan on spending no less than a month ensuring I've researched all I need to know to prevent cooking myself and I'm employing the help of my dad. My dad is a perfectionist and used to work with a construction crew where he operated radioactive equipment, so if anybody in my family would be competent with high voltage RF pulses, it'd be him.
I plan on designing it on an underslung rifle frame with portable power supply and laser sights. Maybe some glowing fiddly bits for a real mad science look if I have parts left over. Given the appearance of the magnetron and the heat sink, as well as the shape the housing will have to be, I'm going to be basing the design on the laser rifle from the Fallout games, as pictured below.
The notable difference, however, will be that mine will likely be underslung due to how heavy the battery and power supply will be.
