It isn't like they are generating plasma conduits with the microwaves and then using a hyper velocity gas gun to propel a slug of plasma down the conduit!

- all2 3y agoHammer's Slammers, anyone? In the series of books they would use a laser to carve a hole in air and then inject a plasma made of super-heated copper into the collapsing channel. I always thought it was a pretty neat concept. That, along with their flying tanks. They used big fans to lift these M1 Abrams style battle tanks. I cannot imagine the power consumption for all of it.
