…..A maser is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves (microwaves), through amplification by stimulated emission. The United States Navy has successfully beamed energy using microwaves. The laser works by the same principle as the maser, but produces higher frequency coherent radiation at visible wavelengths. The maser was the precursor to the laser, inspiring theoretical work by Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow that led to the invention of the laser in 1960 by Theodore Maiman. When the coherent optical oscillator was first imagined in 1957, it was originally called the “optical maser”. This was ultimately changed to laser, for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. Gordon Gould is credited with creating this acronym in 1957.
…..I was working on trasmitting energy from a solar field to a receiver without wires via maserbeam to a receiver that was set up in a cattle field approximately 1,100 feet from the transmitter. Upon a check of transmission data two dead cows were discovered that had gone into an area that had been designated as safe to use by the rancher who owned the field where the receiver was set up. The rancher, said the dead cattle were scheduled for slaughter. The rancher, asked me if I would help him out by killing some other cattle set for slaughter. I agreed and went to my workshop and built a maser beam rifle (MBR).
…..I returned with my MBR and set up about 1,000 feet from where the cattle were to be slaughtered. The MBR is a line of sight, light speed rifle that is silent. I shot the first cow in line, it fell over dead. I turned the power down on the MBR and the next cow died when shot. I turned the power down further, the next cow died when shot. I turned the power down further, the next cow fell over asleep. I then decided human trials were needed.
…..I decided to shoot a really bad person I knew of. I set up over 1,000 feet away from his car using the lowest power setting. While he was sitting in his car using his phone I shot him. He slumped over unconscious. Seven minutes later he woke up. I turned up the power and shot him again, he slumped over again. After 19 minutes he woke up. I don’t know if the second shot knocked him out for 19 minutes due to an accumulative effect or due to the higher power setting on the MBR. More trials are planned.
…..A MBR will be great for hunters to use because it is silent and does not scare intended targets. A MBR powerpack can be recharged with the provided charger or in the field using solar panels. The MBR has 1/4″ x 20 mount points that allow the MBR to be mounted to a standard tripod used in photography. The MBR has an electronic viewfinder for targeting. The MBR can be mounted to a tripod and fired using an included App that will allow the user to remotely view what is in the viewfinder and then fire the MBR to allow the user to remain hidden from intended game.
…..The MBR comes with 2 powerpacks good enough to kill 71 cattle per powerpack. Additional powerpacks $199.95.
MBR price $1,495.00
…..A MBR is not a firearm, no license required to purchase.
