That’s a sculpture you can see walking in the town square town Horsell Woking (England). This Tripod was designed by Michael Kondronom in 1998, the height of the monument to a little over 23 feet.





The Martian machines in 1953 movie The War of the Worlds are drastically different from the ones in Wells’ novel. Instead of towering tripods, the Martian machines resemble sinister-looking manta rays with three electromagnetic legs, visible only when emerging from the pit made by their tapered oblate landing cylinder and later indirectly by their scorching effect on the ground. Designed by Albert Nozaki, this machine is armed with a reddish Heat-Ray — once more in keeping with the novel — mounted atop in a gooseneck device incinerating anything the ray hits.
