You know you're a mad scientist when...you're fiddling around with ideas for a stun gun for your robot dog, and you realize you've come up with an
idea for a beam weapon....
*chuckles wryly* I was trying to figure out how to do a stun gun so I could build a version of K-9 for Fenspace. I thought it might be possible to do a taser
sort of setup, but how to conduct the charge to the target? Then I got to thinking - a forcefield could probably be set up to conduct a charge. So set up a
field/holoemitter to do a beam (which gives you your nice ray effect) and have that conduct a taser charge to the target.
Fairly simple, so doing a version of K-9 was a go. Then I realized...if you do a small version, what's to stop a much larger version? It's not like you
need any major setup for it - just need a capacitor to store LARGE amounts of electricity, a very strong holoemitter to do your conductor beam...and ZAP.
So - who likes Lightning Cannons? I'm not quite sure what effects it would have against spaceships, but unless they're specially shielded against
electricity, I imagine it could fry systems, at the very least....possibly a lot more. It seems like something Tesla and I might've come up with.
