Check out this new type of "power technology" being worked on. So.. instead of blowing up enemies, they want to cook them. Tasty.

lol, where is 007 when u need him 

Oh also there are new "SATCOM" satellites going up, 5 atleast.; Beam weapons anyone?  anyone know who was contracted for this?

i beileive this exist for a long time!!

Did you see the report about a melted bus and witnesses stating it was mounted on a tank in Iraq? What do you need to broadcast power in a tight beam? A perfectly flat broadcast antenna like they use to beam credit card info in stores? a tube antenna. There are several ways and several harmful frequencies, microwaves and ultraviolet for examples.

Sorry, add something.

There are certain satellites in orbit we used to watch from PA, USA. These satellites stay in geosynchronous orbit even when North of Lake Erie. This is impossible being that such an orbit requires it to be on the equator. So, these satellites are powered 24/7 to maintain this orbit. Exactly how do you propose they do that? We quit watching and reporting because we are now sprayed so heavy they can no longer be seen. They are there, they twinkle like mad. Red, blue, green, never yellow, and once in a while you see a random white flash.

It's called a phased array antenna, it's usually flat, steered electronically.   I think it would be interesting to test an small orbiting power
station in orbit on mars. I've noticed from those mars rover pictures that the terrain on mars is very flat on the surface. Because of the wind
erosion and no water erosion there are very few cross cut gullies on mars. This would make it possible for a rover to travel at high speeds
over the surface using computer imaging. The only exception is meteor craters which would be avoidable ahead of time. It would allow a
robotic spacecraft to visit interesting sites all over mars. Such a rover would need a lot of electricity at times. It could be a metal box
that might flip over on it's wheels and continue to operate normally. Two stable states I think they call it. The power station could then be
repurposed for a manned mars mission.
