Wells Thermal Disruptor - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture

Raku Rayguns are one-of-a-kind ceramic sculptures made by West Magoon. They are inspired by alien technology unearthed at a secret UFO crash site, known only to a tribe of Wyoming Hill People. Each raygun is named after a science fiction author, character or device.

The Raku Rayguns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 16" long by 12" tall. Each Raku Raygun comes with a ceramic moon crater plaque wall mount. The raygun rests on brass hooks embedded in the plaque which provide a sturdy support. The plaque has an attached wire on the back, for hanging on the wall.

The visual roots that inspire these sculptures include sci-fi magazine covers from the 30's,40's and 50's, the styling cues from 50's automobiles, and design elements from Art Deco and Art Nouveau which contribute to the Steampunk flavor of the Raku Rayguns.

The last photo is the cover of a book by the author that this raygun pays homage to. For an excerpt of one of Wells' novels which contains the first reference to a laser weapon, please visit this web page: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=626
