Inferno Speaker Blaster Makes you Vomit

Inferno is a "sonic barrier," a long metallic speakerbar that generates a sound made of four frequencies between 2 and 5 kilohertz.

Navy Developing ... a Vomit Gun

This gun isn't really being developed as a way to harm individuals, but just to incapacitate people and embarrasses them if they vomit easily from motion sickness. Call me a little twisted, but this could be mighty fun in a public place. –Travis Hudson More »
