Thousands of diodes, strung like glass beads on a network of wires, are needed to intercept Raytheon's beam. In the model helicopter demonstrated last week, they feed direct current at about 100 volts to a small motor taken from an electric drill. The beam of 2,450-megacycle microwaves starts out with three kilowatts of power; the diode...
