Project Description

I was lucky enough to get to do the design concept for the “SHIVA” weapon, which was features and used heavily throughout the first half of MacGyver Season 4. It was a fictional weapon designed by Nicola Tesla himself, designed as a super-weapon that could stop war. The idea was that it was some kind of turret gun/tesla coil mashup so I ran with those ideas to make some interesting shapes that would look cool and intricate from various angles and got the concept together in about a day. Shout out to Katie Wheelock for creating the sketchup model/construction drawings and designing the control panel! Also shout out to the amazing construction team on Macgyver for building the thing, which included coiling copper wires around tubes for hours. Thanks a ton!
