I'll post the complete code when I am finished with the scene, but here is
the Heat Ray
*** Heat Ray Spoiler Alert ***
#declare HeatRayTex =
texture {
pigment {
marble
color_map {
[0.00 rgbf <1,1,1,0>]
[0.15 rgbf <0.94, 0.81, 0.0, 0.85>]
[0.25 rgbf <0.94, 0.5, 0.0, 0.85>]
[0.30 rgbf <1, 0.28, 0.0, 0.85>]
[0.40 rgbf <0.87, 0.0, 0.1, 0.85>]
[0.45 rgbf <0.73, 0.16, 0.1, 1>]
}
turbulence .85
}
finish { ambient 2 }
}
#declare Ray=union {
cone {<0,0,0>.02<0,0,-10>.2
texture {HeatRayTex scale .125 translate <0,0,3>}
}
cone {<0,0,0>.025<0,0,-10>.3 pigment {rgbt <1,0,0,.9>}
finish {ambient 2}}
cone {<0,0,0>.025<0,0,-10>.25 pigment {rgbt <1,1,0,.95>}
finish {ambient 2}}
cone {<0,0,0>.025<0,0,-10>.15 pigment {rgbt <1,1,0,.95>}
finish {ambient 3}}
}

Another quote from the book:
"They [martians] did not eat, much less digest. Instead, they took the
fresh, living blood of other creatures, and INJECTED it into their own
veins. I have myself seen this being done, as I shall mention in its
place. But, squeamish as I may seem, I cannot bring myself to describe
what I could not endure even to continue watching. Let it suffice to
say, blood obtained from a still living animal, in most cases from a
human being, was run directly by means of a little pipette into the
recipient canal..."
So yes, you were right.
Antti

Perhaps you should post this in povray.binaries.scene-files or
povray.text.scene-files.

Actually... With the position & orientation of the three legs & the module
on top, I would think that it would tip over as soon as one of the legs
would be lifted. (I dunno... It just seems 'wrong', but it looks cool! ;-)

Wow, this is just getting better and better. One thing I'd point out is
that a big explosion like the one you're creating generates a LOT of
light on its own -- you have some there, but not nearly enough. It also
generates a lot of dust, but not immediately, so that's probably not as
important.
