I notice when I hold a flame to an ionizer system that the flame arcs and seems to be pulled by the arc kind of, whereas butane without the flame won't. I wonder if there is a way to combine this with gas combustion somehow (accelerant fed turbine or some crap??) to make a kind of "pyroclastic beam". Almost like the pyroclastic flows off of volcanoes, electrocuting fiery clouds..
we have those. Not the batteries themselves, but with enough capacitors, inverters, and transformers anything can be accomplished... that requires high voltages.
O this thing. More like a EM wave generator than an actual weapon. Do a search on nuclear material detection, the waves are used to pin point sources of radiation. Granted though, enough electricity in and a budget to match, and you'll have a formidable EM laser.
not really fiction...medusa is a directed energy weapon project in development. it shares some problems with the laser, but also has some advantages which are clear even for someone non-scientific.
The flame off of a burning toothpick works just as well.

Actually a laser is part of the weapon-system. As well microwaves and sub-atomic-particles.
