Now Viewing: maserTag type: General メーザー M.A.S.E.R. (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) Invented in 1953 almost a decade before the laser, the maser works in a similar manner to the laser but with microwaves instead of light. The maser has useful applications such as deep space communication and radio telescopes and breakthroughs in recent years are allowing it to make a comeback, not only keeping up with the laser to compliment it. Although lesser known, just like the laser and plasma, the maser has the potential to be used as a directed-energy weapon in real life and despite its obscurity has appeared in several Japanese sci-fi movies and shows as energy weapons such as the maser tanks in the Godzilla movie franchise or maser pistols in the Ultraman TV franchise. If being used as a weapon, be sure to tag as energy_weapon and directed-energy_weapon. If it is a gun, use the tags energy_gun and maser_gun or if it is a cannon tag as energy_cannon and maser_cannon, respectively. If it is being fired or clearly charging up, tag with energy. If what it fires is a beam, tag maser_beam and energy_beam. Just like lasers, it can be fired in pulses, in which case tag the pictures in question with pulsed_maser, maser_bolt and energy_bolt.
