Imagine a hilt that has a microwave emitter built into it, that heats and expands a slice of rubber attached to the very top of the hilt into a burning inflated stick of rubber, about 6,000,000 degrees Celsius, that would melt through flesh and wood, iron, steel, maybe even some hyper-alloys.

You see the microwaves heat the inside of the rubber, and the rubber is a certain fabric built to reflect the microwaves back into the hilt, recharging it, as you said. The rubber heats, and it doesn't burn.

This rubber is generated in a proposed machine that can manipulate the very atoms of an object and turn it into a deferent type of substance all together.

This machine was proposed in an episode of Visions of the future called The quantum revolution

This machine is also the cheapest and easiest way to make antimatter, just insert an object, and change it's substance into anti matter, which would be what fuels the microwave transmitter inside the hilt.

"We believed the world would not be the same, a few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent, I remembered a line from the Hindu scripture, the bagavagita, Vishnu was trying to convince the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, he takes on his multi-armed form and says, Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"
-Robert J Oppenheimer, The atomic bomb

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
