Balthazar:
Calculus was presumably hoping that this other real-life line of Nazi research, into ultrasound, might throw up similarly non-warlike uses for mankind.

Just a little supplementary info at this point: the real-world Nazi weapon (which also didn't get beyond the prototype stage) wasn't actually anything to do with ultra-sonics - if anything it would have produced low-frequency noise.

It was a parabolic reflector, the use of which would have directed pressure waves to effect possible death and distress amongst those upon whom it was turned.
