Hitler was supposedly the one wanting to make a ray gun, or death ray to try and destroy anyone and anything that stood in his way. Mostly to use on enemy vehicles and to use at a long distance to ensure his victory. His scientists never developed it and was a failure, so they it was never thought of. Someone will try and make it, I mean if we have all this technology these days then we will

Well, 'for whatever reason' might be because it is pseudohistory allied with pseudoscience. You make a lot of claims at variance with the current consensus but present no evidence, except bits and pieces gathered from dubious sources. A bit of googling reveals this to be your standard modus operandi. I'm not interested in inflated claims about the wonders of Nazi science. Sorry.

Lt Cmdr Ito Yoji in particular visited Japan for ten months from December 1940, to study development of artificial neutron sources and radar. That is the point

What have neutrons got to do with radar?

The point is there is a whole history of world war two which for whatever reason is still concealed to the present day and these so called death ray devices did exist. Both in Germany and Japan. I reject your claim. Soviet Tokamacks were based on the know how of captured nazi scientist Prof Max Steenbeck. Rajewsky led the Nazi death ray research. An advanced synchrotron particle accelerator was captured by ALSOS at Bissingen about 27 April 1945. This was part of Forschungsstelle D under Dr Walter Dallenbach. His project was part of the nazi A-bomb project and the Rajewsky death ray project was a spin off from that. The Japanese traded information with Steenbeck who worked in the Ardenne institute.

I'm not sure what your point is, but this all sounds just a little dubious to me. Tokamaks weren't invented until well after the war, in the mid-1950s: they're used in nuclear fusion research, and nobody was doing that during the war. And is this the same Ronald Richter who turned up in Peron's Argentina after the war pushing bogus ideas about fusion-powering the economy?

From 1937 after his studies of plasma physics in Germany, Dr. Asada Tsunesaburo advocated to the IJN Technical research lab and in particular to Admiral Yammamoto that Japan develop atomic weapons. Asada became the leading advocate of death rays, but the two are linked since Asada learned from Pro Max steenbeck the concept of developing advanced betatrons which are what death rays are based upon. During 1941 Dr Ronald richter worked for the SS at Prague university on a similar system. The germans learned that by application of a parabolic Beryllium mirror the particle beam from an advanced Tokamak type accelerator could be steered and directed against aircraft. Nazis and japanese shared their technology. During 1941 Lt cmdr Ito Yoshi studied these devices with Steenbeck, and in 1944 Capt Mitsui matao visited germany to acquire this technology for use in developing Japan's nuclear bomb by transmutation of Thorium into Uranium

Don't know, sorry. You might find something useful here.

Where else? There's work to be done (or is one, perhaps) on 'things that don't exist but everyone knows should (or will) exist'; ray guns, intergalactic credits, faster than light power etc. Not to mention miracle cures, the winning ticket and all the other things used to separate fools and money.
