[MLB-WIRELESS] Electric shock weapons could go wireless

[Winder]

It is amazing how much effort goes into inventing technology to kill
people.....

I'll have to get me one of the next generation
video/camera/gps/phone/tracker/smart card/personal alarm/taser
gun/defibrillator/light sabre/pda type device thingies that runs off a fuel
cells, with a recharge card good for 80 hours talk time, 6 stuns and 1 kill.

Sorry, it's late and my mind is doing odd things to my train of thought.

Regards,
g at z.

As i see it, it's the Electrical version of the flame thrower. propellant
or flammable material sprayed in aerosol or liquid form, then set alight.
in this case, they just send enough voltage or static electricity to keep
the aerosol in liquid/plasma form without vapourising into gases from the
electricity/heat released. it's some kind of semi-conductive compound,
would be good to see if it works as intended, or turns the subject into a
sparkly firecracker.

either way, there's obvious allusions to "you don't know the power .. of
the dark side ...", etc. again, it would be good to see it in action.

the other vapour technology i saw recently was fogscreen.com, projecting an
image on a fog of vapour, maybe water vapour, not sure. I've seen that it
has been done in sydney harbour, and the effect works well enough to
project films onto a large "fine mist fountain" that emerges from a small
cove area, where you watch it from the shoreline. but this is now an
indoors technology that works quite well.

Yet another strange application of aerosols and good old 70''s/80's/90's
"wacky ways to die" DoD research. it would not surprise me to see more of
those greater "humane" applications come from weapons of mass destruction
and general mayhem. my fave "spook tech" is still the use of VLF, and
Microwave beams to incapacitate crowds and individuals, those "hearts" and
"minds" out there who object to the common rule. of course, you just have
to justify spending millions on finding/building/acquiring a microwave type
device or laser that can heat the blood or a body over a specific area
without any trace of the hundreds of suddenly crispy dead bodies nearby. or
the electric bill required to power it. etc.
