And if it does work so effectively, why doesn't it cause permanent damage? Also, how much longer before I can have a hand-held model and go around yelling, "Set phasers to stun!" ? For actual death rays, what about a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range? Just how deadly would 40-watts of plasma be? What about a talk about movie technobabble and just how effective they would be if the described characteristics were accurate?

Another is Tesla's. Another might be a simple high-powered laser, or something involving nuclear radiation, or perhaps directed sound waves to liquify one's internal organs...
