Synopsis
Auric Goldfinder and SPECTRE may seem over-the-top for their plans to irradiate the world's gold supply or kill political leaders with lasers from surveillance satellites, but there are real-life examples of inventors using audacious machines to crush their enemies. Learn how Archimedes defended his city with monstrous catapults, a huge iron claw, and even a primitive death ray. Like this podcast? Click here to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes
