Tornado in a Can

Posted by michael on from the it's-a-little-breezy-in-here-honey dept.

geyser writes "What stuff matters more than a device that can tear things apart? Frank Polifka has a patent on his Windhexe device that creates a tornado force wind. Besides pulverizing concrete, it can pulverize small objects including jelly fish, and chicken feet without destroying the organic compounds. The chickens don't like it. Is this really a prototype Quake weapon? I could only find newspaper articles about the device. Has anyone seen it in action and can you give us a first hand report?"

    Checkout the OpenDK localized hyperwind generator and software. Since the early 70's it ccould takedown small buildings, blow through steel, etc.
