Low frequency speaker system can disrupt breathing.
A new patent from Raytheon outlines a new non-lethal system for controlling protestors and rioting crowds.
An acoustic horn is built into a physical shield, and can be directed at individuals, with a pressure wave that disrupts the respiratory tract and hinders breathing. A row of shields can also be used to disrupt an entire group of people.
From the patent:
A folded acoustic horn is incorporated into the physical shell of the shield. The horn couples acoustic pulses from a sonic pulse generator to an acoustic aperture to output a pulsed pressure beam that approximates a plane wave to produce a pressure barrier.
Wow. The evil applications of this are amazing. And it’ll be awesome to be defending free speech when one literally can’t speak or breathe. Orwell would have a field day with this - as would many pepper-spraying and baton-wielding cops.
p.s. I could see Dethklok finding a good use for this.
I want one, I bet it would put out some really sick bass.
What the fuck what the fuck WHAT THE FUCK
very soon we will be calling the gov BIG BROTHER…….
