KALI (electron Accelerator)
The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) is a linear electron accelerator being developed in India by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). It is said by many organisations and institutes to have directed-energy weapon capabilities. This KALI weapon is said to be India's top-secret weapon. Overview The KALI is a particle accelerator.
