You do not understand the Law of Conservation of Energy do you?

Sorry to pick nits but a Gun != Howitzer technically this is a Self Propelled Howitzer a Gun you would find on a tank. Also not to steal Germany's thunder but M107, M110 ;-)

Actually, I'm pretty sure stirring the beer in a salt and ice water mix would produce the coldest result...

Under some conditions radio signals reflect off this layer back to the earth's surface instead of going on out into space, making it possible to receive them at…

The wired source article is much better. It was a bunch of 2cm wire needles. They were meant to be a semi-permanent radio reflector.
