Tonight I watched an episode of the popular TV show "Myth Busters" ....
 |
| Medieval Idea Of Archimedes "Death Ray" |
.... this episode related to the attempt of the two American presenters, at the request of President Obama, to debunk or prove Archimedes "Death Ray", which he supposedly used to sink Roman warships via a concentrated beam of light reflected from mirrored bronze or metal shields, to create a single hot spot and set the ships on fire.
