Directed energy weapons are nothing new to mankind; historically the origination of such weapons began centuries ago when the famous Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer; Archimedes of Syracuse used different mirrors to collect sunbeams and focused them on the Roman ﬂeet in order to destroy enemy ships with ﬁre. This is known as the Archimedes Heat Ray. Archimedes may have used mirrors acting collectively as a parabolic reﬂector to burn ships attacking Syracuse. The device was used to focus sunlight onto approaching ships, causing them to catch ﬁre. Of course the myth or reality of the Archimedes Heat Ray still is questionable, but with the help of a group of students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology certain experiments were carried out with 127 one-foot (30 cm) square mirror tiles in October of 2005 that were focused on a mockup wooden ship at a range of about 100 feet (30 m). The ﬂames broke out on a patch of the ship, but only after the sky had been cloudless and the ship had remained stationary for around 10 min. It was concluded the device was a feasible weapon under these conditions. 2020-02-05T08:11:28Z 2020-02-05T08:11:28Z 2016 Book http://dspace.uniten.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/13389 en Springer International Publishing
