extracted text (Extract Text): SUNLIGHT and electric
power are utilized in a new
war machine to form a de-
structive ray that may have
vast possibilities for mili-
tary use, according to its in-
ventor, Otto H. Mohr, of
Piedmont, Calif. Machines
of this type, he states, could
be employed to halt or at
least slow down the advance
of an attacking army by
concentrating their rays on
the enemy's ammunition and
gasoline supplies, causing
them to explode. Although
details of the machine's op-
eration have not been re-
vealed, the apparatus was
tested recently before a
group of U. S. Army officers.
Powder poured onto the lids
of tin cans was set off by the
device at a distance of
twenty feet. Mohr is shown
at the right with his detona-
tor-ray machine.
