Targeted Sound Beams

  1. I've seen/experienced this technology by $kr1p7_k177y · · Score: 0, Troll

    I met a fellow a while ago who demonstrated this technology to me (and on me!)... He was an acoustics/electronics buff.

    His main use for it was to keep cats and dogs out of his yard... if they came close, he'd "zap" them with sound.

    According to him, this technology was already in use by the Govt in some areas for crowd control.

    He had created a commercially viable product, but was paralyzed by legal and ethical concerns.

    He was willing to sell me a handheld unit, provided I promised not to use on people... but having no other use for it, I declined his offer.
