Abstract
A directing apparatus includes a mechanism for producing steerable energy. The apparatus includes a mechanism for steering energy from the producing mechanism while the producing mechanism is stationary. The steering mechanism is in communication with the producing mechanism. The steering mechanism includes a scanning mechanism which continuously in a first direction scans the volume of a surrounding vertically and horizontally. A directing method.
