Audio as a weapon
This is one of the better reads I've found on the matter (not just the article, but the comments as well). https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/devices/finally-a-likely-explanation-for-the-sonic-weapon-u... DeKay |
It may not be acoustical. It could be microwave. Theoretically (and I’m out of my depth) frequency modulated microwaves could move the fluid in the head, causing acoustic like side effects. Or it could be microwaves being used to excite a local acoustical device, kind of like the famous State Dept. Seal bug, but in reverse. |
A few years back at a RMAF There was a company demonstrating a new type of sub woofer which was really a fan blade driven but they could achieve as low as three hertz. The demonstration involved Playing a series of samples of different levels of hertz. They started out at about 25 and working their way down to three. The folks putting on the display stated that at below 12 hertz, they would play short bursts and because of the low level and concentration of vibration warned us against stomach upset and asked if we felt queasy to leave the room. They also stated that below 12 and the sustained exposure of a steady 12 hertz Or less could cause unreversible stomach or intestinal damage. They indicated that below seven they could actually cause, for the lack of a better expression, liquefication of the intestines resulting in death. I do recall that feeling in my lower stomach that did create a very uncomfortable feeling. So I believe that it could be used as a lethal weapon based on the information they provided. On a lighter note, I believe that continual playing of “Achy Breaky Heart” could force some into to committing suicide |
