When people know about electromagnetism and radioactivity were increased in the end of 19th. century the militarization of that thing were interested many nations. When Marie and Pierre Curie isolated Radium from the Uranium mineral in the year 1898 and the Henri Becquerel made the investigations that when the mass of the radioactive material increasing the radiation what comes from the mass will also increase by the way, what seemed that there would be the point, where the material would explode. This point was called as the implosion point. The French government made investigations how to make the nuclear bomb by using the radium as the implosion material, but the production of that highly radioactive material was too difficult.
The thing what the French government was attempted to make was quite simple. They would build the "ironclad" ship, where were the pots what would be filled by the Radium, and then the conveyor would bring those pots one by one to the room where they would turn around. This could cause the increasing the mass of that radioactive material and then the nuclear fission, The problem was that nobody knew how much radium were needed. The nuclear weapon was made in 1945 in the "Manhattan project", but many people think that there were many more "nasty things" what was made under that project.
One German scientist Wilhelm Röntgen made investigations with the cathode ray tube and found out the existence of the X-rays, was the estrade ready for one of the most exotic designs of the theoretical nuclear devices. Röntgen found his rays three years before Radium, in 1895, and soon some scientist saw that there were lots of combinations between X-rays and other radioactive radiation. The scientists created the idea of the nuclear bomb where was no need for radioactive material.
The idea was very simple. Just build enough X-ray tubes and then focus their radiation in the same point, where was set one metal ball. If everything went right that metal bite could heat so much, that it could cause the same kind of effect than radioactive material. The problem with that device was that the radiation must take in the metal ball with very high power because the heating of that piece must happen with extremely high speed, and this was the reason, why the "X-ray bomb" would ever build.
But then in 1970´s some military scientists created the idea of the X-ray laser, what looks like the utopist thing. The X-ray laser is actually possible because the X-ray waves can be strengthened by stimulated emission of radiation.
The working of this device would be like that in the end of the tube is one X-ray tube, and the sides of the tube would be X-ray tubes, what will pump the energy to the X-ray, what travels thru that tube. If the radiation what travels thru the tube, and the X-ray tubes what are the sides of this tube has the same frequency, the X-ray would be strengthened.
Same way works gamma-ray lasers. This phenomenon can also use the loudspeakers, at the end of the tube is the loudspeaker, and in the sides of this tube is also the loudspeaker system, what gives the voice what has the same frequency to that voice wave. This system can make the voice, what is extremely powerful and easy to target.
