These two electronics-themed comics appeared in a 1966 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. The page 40 comic is especially funny, IMHO. The term that best fits this scenario is "anachronism," which is an object or concept that is out of its proper historical time period. You'll concur once you see the comic. In 1966, real-world lasers - as opposed to those found in science fiction - had output powers in the range of watts or tens of watts. Maybe a hundred watts from a CO2 laser in a laboratory setting like in the page 93 comic. Still, the concept of a laser powerful enough to be used as a weapon - capable of vaporizing an enemy - was reality in most people's minds. Such a contraption is very possible today, but not back in the era. I colorized the comics for you. You're welcome.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
