Piezoelectric tweeter

It is still fashionable to dismiss and ignore the complaints of the victims of directed energy weapons as psychotic ramblings. Even those in responsible positions do so either out of a lack of knowledge about the developments in the field or with the intention to conceal it from the public. In our times with the total dependency on media for information any known fact could be erased from people’s minds by engineered silence on that front.

But then facts are facts and they will be out sooner or later, in a capitalist competitive environment especially. This is the case with directed energy weapons too. The governments can go on denying it but technology gets back at them one way or another.

Take the case of sonic weapons. All the governments the world over have been furiously denying their existence till to date. They could have done it successfully for ever so long had piezoelectric tweeters been not invented.

Before their invention there was no way any single individual could have bought a sonic weapon to use for their personal pleasure. The weapons were big and cumbersome. Also the cost of transducers which were used in them was astronomical.

Transducers are speakers of sorts. They are the part which sends the ultrasonic waves to the targeted individual. As these were priced high the wicked among us was not able to get hold of any ultrasonic weapon to cause harm to others. The moment piezoelectric tweeters were in the market the cost of portable sonic weapons fell sharply and became affordable. piezoelectric tweeters are miniature transducers which can emit high frequency sound waves. These are mostly used in state of the art stereos systems.

Any one with the know-how can build a sonic machine with very little amount of money with the help of these tweeters.

Those who come within the path of their waves experience intense irritation a sense invisible pressure and even anger. It can produce nausea and head aches in those affected. It is reported that the instrument totally put people out of mood. The attraction of the low-conscience elements in the society for such an instrument can be guessed. A search on the web yielded at least a few sites that sell these for as less as 30 dollars.

Unless they produce these effects consistently at least on a minimum level, these would not be marketed and would not be used.

The notable thing is that this instrument does not emit any hearable frequencies at all. People targeted would undergo a decidedly unpleasant experience the report states. Here is a snippet from the report

“One particularly interesting application the author observed was when the unit was taped above a false ceiling (the kind found in many offices) and aimed down on the intended victim.
After a short time, the person (in this case, a rather obnoxious employer) became more irritable than usual, broke pencils, snapped at people, and eventually went home early with what he described as a splitting headache, thus removing a source of unpleasant behavior without it causing any permanent damage.”
It is also capable of creating an “earthquake effect” too as per the report.
I have decided not to lead any one to the article as well as the sites I found on the subject. No, not with even the faintest idea that they won’t be discovered by those who are interested but thinking that I would not personally be any part of their discovery.
There are other such miniature harassment tools in use too. All are commercially available with moderate price tags.
Such technology has been termed “Annoyancetech” by Foo Chris Csikszentmihalyi ( I can’t pronounce the last part of the name, also I have not heard of the guy before. I found this on another site on revenge gadgets. But all the same I think the name is appropriate and would like to give him the full credit for it.)
These are just toys compared to the sophisticated weapons handled by the government agents and underground gangs at present. But yet the authorities are stoutly denying their existence!
An interesting character we have in our land used to call those that did the dumbest of things “geniuses” His logic being that calling them “dumb” would totally lack in effectiveness.
What would we call the emotionally dumb, I wonder!
