☆ Archimedes’ death ray might have worked, teen science project suggests

But one fabled device has left scientists speculating on its existence for hundreds of years — the death ray. For his 2022 science project, Sener recreated the Archimedes screw, a device for raising and moving water. Sener found the death ray to be one of the more intriguing devices — sometimes referred to as the heat ray. Archimedes’ death ray is more commonly speculated to have been an array of several mirrors or polished shields. Sener’s mom, Melanie, was not surprised by her son’s choice in science project.

That's when he found the so-called death ray. AdvertisementSener surmised the Archimedes death ray wasn't impossible if it had used many more mirrors and a hotter heat source. A long history of death ray attemptsMany others have tried to recreate the death ray, with varying levels of success. Most recently, the TV show "Mythbusters" took on Archimedes' death ray three times and never managed to make it work. The reflective surfaces and fiery boats could have become conflated in the ensuing centuries, possibly creating the myth of a death ray.
