Is it feasible to design a device similar to the one used in iron man?
How would it work?
How is it different than a flash-bang?
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-04/sound-bullets-could-sink-subs-pummel-underground-bunkers-destroy-tumors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_weapon The device that Stane used in Iron Man seems to use a very specific frequency that forces every muscle in the human body to contract, rendering them paralyzed (citation needed). There is supposedly one frequency that causes the human eye to vibrate, distorting vision. A sonic weapon might be different from a flash bang in that it could either be focused to affect a very narrow area, or it could possibly be broadcast through a radio tower over several miles. Also, a device like the one used in Iron Man is continuous, unlike the one-and-done flash bang. -Kevin Meglathery
The links I found were mostly from TV shows, but this Star Trek one http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_disruptor describes it as a focused sound wave. Seems like it can be manufactured, but I wouldn't know the specifics. Reading Kevin's post, I feel that the effect of the sound wave could cause paralysis by forcing every muscle to contract at once, but of course it would require a very specific frequency that I'm not totally sure exists.
I found one where sonic disruptors were used as sympathetic arousal for the brain. "The stimulation of the firing of the target pathway or circuit makes it susceptible to modification, and holds great promise for PTSD treatment, according to LeDoux’s theory(LeDoux, 2001)."
I actually saw a "1000 ways to die episode" (i believe it was 1000 ways to die, which may not be the most reputable source) where a guy actually died from exposure to a certain frequency of sound. If its possible to manufacture a sound death-ray i'd imagine one could also cause paralysis. The guy who died was apparently making digital drugs, so apparently they can make you high as well. http://www.i-doser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8181 Is this even real this is crazy.

Besides what Kevin said, the devise can last longer than a flashbang
ReplyDeleteWhat about the mechanism?

Mr. Crane can you make a blog entry for the final project?
