During WWII Japan paid 1 million yen to a team of scientists that promised they could create a “death ray” that would use wave electric power to kill humans standing miles away, drawing on the innovations of Nikola Tesla. The Japanese got as far as a prototype that could kill from as far away half a mile—but the target had to stand still for 10 minutes for it to work.
