The Heat-Ray is the main offensive weapon used by Mars in the classic novel science fiction novel H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds and its branches.

Dalam novel
Heat-Ray is essentially an energy-directed weapon, although the name "Heat-Ray" is more commonly applied to the projected destructive energy than the weapon itself; the latter depicted as box-like or camera-like cases mounted on larger engines, including the Tripod-combat engine, while Ray is credited with a striking target at a distance of at least two miles.
This novel explains:
"In some ways they are able to generate strong heat in a room that is practically non-conductive.This great heat is projected in parallel rays against whatever object they choose, using a polished parabolic mirror of an unknown composition, just as a parabolic mirror of a lighthouse projects a beam of light... it is certain that the radiant heat is the essence of this problem, Heat, and invisible, not the visible light.Every flammable radiates into fire at its touch, lead goes like water, it softens the iron, cracks and melts the glass, and when it falls on the water, it constantly explodes into steam.
The only visible element of the rays is the glow of light emitted from the room, where the Wells description is consistent with the experimental energy-directed weapons in subsequent years (such as the strong CO 2 Lasers).

In another adaptation
The Heat-Ray is a feature of almost every adaptation of the story. Many adaptations follow the characteristics given in the novel, such as the CBS 1938 radio adaptation; even reading out almost verbatim descriptions.
The Heat-Ray is described in Jeff Wayne's Music Version of The War of the Worlds and is depicted on the artwork album Michael Trim and the art of "Panic in the Streets" by Geoff Taylor, which originated from the trunk in cupola tripod.
The Illustrated Classic comic book adaptation of The War of the Worlds illustrates Heat-Ray as bright yellow/golden light.
In the early science fiction novel Edison's Conquest of Mars, in answer to Heat-Ray Mars, Thomas Edison designed the disintegrator rays for use by the human invasion forces. This is the first appearance of such a device in science fiction.
In Heat-Ray's Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds, Heat-Ray is described as based on nuclear energy, and is projected from a pink, multifaceted focus crystal.
In the spoof movie Scary Movie 4 , the Heat-Ray effect is given a funny treatment; The crossing scene shows a woman pushing the other onto the Heat-Ray path to get her clothes. In one scene, the President of the United States, played by Leslie Nielsen, announced to the United Nations that the Americans had captured the Heat-Ray. The effect has been reversed, funnyly destroying everyone's clothes in the room, with the President hardly noticing.
1953 movie
For the 1953 film version, Martian's manta ray war machine used a combination of three rays: one Heat-Ray on a long neck above their machine, which lit a red spark, and two disintegrator rays on the ends of their wings, shown as green bolts. Both of these can only be directed toward their ship, while the Heat-Ray above can be directed in all directions. Most of their targets glow and disappear, sometimes leaving stains or piles of ash; Heat-Ray differs from disintegrators when the former regulates the surrounding environment blatantly as well as evaporates the target within a few seconds. Although the Heat-Ray does have a simple destructive effect on certain objects, at other times, the rays will make the objects burn or cause them to explode (as shown when the engine reaches Los Angeles). In one scene, General Mann stated that Martians might produce radiation without resorting to heavy screening to light their rays. The poisonous chemical weapon "Black Smoke" is replaced by " skeleton ". Doctor Clayton Forrester explains how this framework framework works like that:
It neutralizes the meson somehow. They hold the atomic glue together. Cut off their magnetic strength lines and any object will just vanish.
TV series
As a sequel to the 1953 film, the use of Heat-Ray in the War of the Worlds TV series is well-known. Aside from their work in the first episode (its destruction played in the opening credit sequence in the next episode of the season), the main Heat-Ray is more noticed in an episode where the aliens can not find a warship buried from a reconnaissance mission and forced to remove a gooseneck device from a ship and tied it over the hearse. The alien mission in this episode concludes when the Heat-Ray attacks them after being reflected from an emergency parabolic mirror.
The series also offers Heat-Ray that is not used by war machines, but as a personal weapon. The episode "The Second Seal" relates to the discovery of archives containing the remains of the 1953 invasion. Among the material found were boomerang-shaped weapons that fired the Heat-Rays. This ray is a type of green blob fired from the end of their warship, and also shot from the tip of the object.
The Heat-Rays are featured in the same power mirror series of films. This includes the variation between their ability to significantly destroy something and make the target disappear. Although the word "Heat-Ray" was never applied in a series like in 1953 or an updated 2005 film, the term used in one episode is "Death-Ray".
2005 movie
In Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds adaptation of the Wells novel, Heat-Ray is described as two bluish-white rays that have dried effects on living things, such as animals, and 'disturbing' effects on other objects; but the bridge in one scene is thrown from its pole when exposed to the light, as if physically jerked, and in the previous scene, buildings of brick and wood destroyed or burned. Later in the film, a troop tripod that destroys the city is shown, with Heat-Rays collapsing targeted buildings in a manner similar to the destruction of the bridge. Curiously, human clothing seems unaffected by the Heat-Rays, which are used to influence in one of the movie scenes when human clothing is slaughtered floating along the river.
Film Asylum
In the 2005 film Asylum HG Wells' War of the Worlds (also titled Invasion ), the Heat-Ray is seen as a bluish green light and built inside a "walker", which is not a tripod , but a six-legged machine that resembles a crab. The light is illuminated from a single "eye" walker. When the light is about humans, they are immediately burned to the bone. The rays can also be used to destroy buildings. A character named Private. Kerry Williams compared the effects of light on humans with the effect of fly zapper on flies.
In the sequel to this film War Of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave, a kind of Heat-ray can be seen shooting from 'squid-walkers', a race that lives off a flying cybernetic tripod; but the effects of these weapons are largely unknown, because the rays themselves are rarely used. It's mainly used to destroy London and Paris. Other types of light are also attached to the machine, but are made to transport the living human to the mother.
Movie Pendragon Pictures
In 2005, the lesser-known, low-to-video direct-to-video adaptation of Pendragon Pictures, H.G. Wells 'The War of the Worlds', the generator is held by a small arm that extends from the hood (not one of the many tentacles/weapons they use to catch humans). Three metallic fingers held fast-spinning discs, producing Heat-Ray; and when touching the flesh, the victim is reduced to bone. War of the Worlds: Goliath
There are Heat-Rays used by humans and Martians in the 2012 animated film, where Heat-Rays humans are reddish orange and Mars-Heat-Rays green rays.
