Abstract
An apparatus for forming a beam includes a housing, electromagnetic coils and/or electrostatic devices for combining a plurality of individual beams into a single beam. Deflection mirrors can be used to deflect the combined beam in a predetermined direction. The beams so combined can include beams of a constant wave or beams in pulse formation. The electromagnetic energy may include visible and non-visible rays, infrared rays, as well as particles. Laser beams can be used employing CO2 X-rays, and Argon, among others. The application has navigational, medicinal, and military uses, among other such as total disruption of enemy's guidance, communication and detection devices employing radar. Also, total incapability of "heat-seeking" aircraft destruction devices to be effective against aircraft fitted with this invention.
