Tractor beam

A tractor beam is a stream of spaceships that can draw an object toward the source of the stream. Many sawtooths work by using tractor beams, including parabolic sawtooth, sawtooth 633, and sawtooth 1212 – the first sawtooth ever constructed. An example of a gun using tractor beam is vacuum .
