Well there are times when you have to describe something just like that-from your emotional reaction to the thing. It is not surprising that the description came from the inventor himself, for that was just the thing he was hoping for- evil, in a good measure.
Vladimir Rubtsov, president and senior scientist of Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. is the man in question. He and Bob Lieberman is perfecting their LED Incapacitor, a harmless official name if you prefer but a very disturbing piece of equipment. There is both physiological and psycho physiological factors involved in the usage. The thing throws of bursts of light into your eyes . It will blind you and disorient you simultaneously and will make you throw up. We know there are sonic instruments which could do that and any one could buy one under 30 dollars from the market. People use it covertly to hurt others. But this equipment is made with the law enforcers in mind. It is a bit bulky at its present stage of development but the inventors are hopping to reduce its size in the second and third stages of development.
It functions this way:
Its electronic sensors first determine the range to the targets eyes and then an internal electronic unit decides the level, frequency, and duration of the pulse train to be aimed at the target without harming him/her/them. It makes use of the incapacity of the brain and our eyes to quickly adapt to the changing patterns of light and color hitting them. Not everybody is affected by the same wavelengths of light, but there is one wavelength which would eventually( we are talking about milliseconds here) get you.
There are some who believes that the weapon would be ineffective on people wearing glasses (preferably blue shades), for a video footage on the thing has shown the emitted pulses concentrates on blue frequencies of light. But this is doubtful since that would diminish its effectiveness and the builders would have already thought on it.
This is what the wikipedia has to say on the subject of such incapacitating agents:
“Low frequency sound cannons are weapons of various types that use sound to injure or incapacitate subjects using a focused beam of sound or ultrasound. While described as "non-lethal", they can still kill under certain conditions. Active denial systems (ADS) are a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military. The ADS directs electromagnetic radiation, specifically, high-frequency microwave radiation, at a frequency of 95 GHz, which causes a burning sensation on the subject's skin. Dazzler lasers are directed-energy weapons that use intense light to cause temporary blindness or disorientation of rioters.”
Well people are unruly are they not ? They need to be punished for their “sins” . Let us get them good and proper.
