I’ve been a fool.
Obedient sheep that I am, I believed all those government and scientific reports that laser rifles and hand-held force fields were decades away from reality — if they were possible at all. Cloaked in the dull skepticism of a flat-earther, I naively thought that advances like “Electro-Hypnotizers” and “Ion Ray Guns” were the stuff of science fiction, or merely hoaxes.
Now, friends, my eyes are open wide. The truth has been revealed. Not only are these items for real, but a helpful Internet retailer — “Information Unlimited,” out of Amherst, New Hampshire — has been thoughtful enough to sell them all under one electronic roof. Huzzah!
My only question is what to buy first. Should it be the “Telekinetic Enhancer”? The “Sonic Nausea Device” Or maybe I should go with the “Magnetic Cannon.” Luckily, the plans for most of these projects are only $20. So I can afford to make some mistakes.
Wonder Weapons, $20 a Pop

Someone needs to tell DARPA about this stuff, STAT!
Sonic Nauseau Device? MYTH. Haven’t you seen Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” – they tried to do that – w/ a concert level sounds system. It was under the heading of the ‘Brown Note’ (w/ the myth being that a specific frequency was enough to cause you to lose control of your bowels).
They never found it.
Actually, the ‘Sonic Nausea Device’ is a completely different device from the one on mythbusters. While the brown note used very low frequencies, these types of devices use an ultrasonic or very high piched tone to cause their effects. I can say from experience in laboratories that they do cause some effects that vary from person to person, although at very high dB levels they are very effective.
You can actually buy devices similar to this as ‘dog punishers’ and ‘rodent deterrents’ for around $25, and they do tend to work to some degree depending on the power of the device.
Gupta’s 1st law of creative anomaly:
“If it looks too good to be true, that’s because it is”.
All these gadgets are the bees knees when it comes to crowd control, non-lethal defence etc., and at 20$ a pop a real bargin. For less than the cost of a single Stryker, you could outfit every coalition vehicle in Iraq with one of these.
That is, of course, if you can live with their one minor flaw:
THEY DON’T WORK !
Reality check, people.
Thomas, Robert? Did it ever dawn on you your gracious host might be *kidding* and not need a “reality check”? I thought it was funny, Noah. (You think the “obedient sheep” and “flat-earther” lines would’ve tipped them off that you weren’t taken in.)
You mean the earth isn’t flat
Just don’t buy his kits. They’re junk. My ion ray gun kit didn’t even come with a printed circuit board, just a bread board. I still haven’t finished it out of disgust of the money I spent and the crap I got. He does have a book you can find on Amazon, I’d recommend that because all of the plans are already in the book.

Hannah: Uhm…yes, it did dawn on me ;-)
Besides, here’s something scary: there are still people out there who truly, honestly do believe the Earth is flat (and, for that matter, that someone who has invented a functioning “Telekinetic Enhancer” would sell the plans on the web for $20).
And here’s something even scarier: Most of these people can legally vote !
I remain, yours graciously, etc.
of course everyone can vote … how do you think bush won ;)
Yup, Ive bought a couple of thier kits, They really work!
Gee guys,
I have actually bough some prebuilt(phasor property Guard(also featured in Radio Electronics magazine) along with the “Phasor Burning Stunwand”
I had the Phasor property guard sensors mounted internal to a van I owned at the time… It would produce headaches lasting for hours when triggered.
The phasor burning stun wand sits permanently unpowered about 3 feet from me… that sucker can be lethal, will burn a hole in the side of an aluminum drink can at full charge, 1 1/4 charge (after burning a hole in the above al drink can) it was almost human lethal. These devices do work and DONT have any safeguards on them for fools.
The designs and devices are the creation of an MIT alumni in physics and are research prototypes and can in very many cases be very lethal. He has published 2 books containing many of his designs.
someone who actually constructed these plans
and ordered preassembled devices
um.. it’s really not hard to see that this site is a hoax. there’s a whole section of “anti-gravity” devices (www.amazing1.com/grav.htm) which even has a video of one in use WITH VISIBLE SUPPORTING STRINGS. books are also on sale describing “quartz crystals and their role in antigravity”.
Quartz actually conducts electricity, so who knows what effect it might have. That video is no fake, because if you watch certian shows on the science channel, they have used them.
ummm… you may need glasses, guero. That vid is of a legitimate, real device utilizing the beifeld-brown effect. The wires are power supply lines, not support wires.
A copy of this guy’s first book fell into my hands years ago… the kits are crap, but the designs are fine. I bought a tesla coil kit from this company years ago and when it arrived the parts shipped didn’t match the manifest… I ended up having to take a trip to the hardware store to get the missing bits. I called the company and was told that they have a lot of high school kids working for them in the summer, and they often make mistakes in filling the orders that come in.
This stuff isn’t snakeoil, though of course the effectiveness of the devices is undoubtedly exaggerated. The ‘Telekinetic Enhancer’ is obviously a novelty, not a serious attempt at demonstrating true telekinesis. Some of the weapons are too weak to take seriously, but some of them are profoundly dangerous, so be careful.
the device maybe legitimate and real but it is powered, like the rest of the lifters sold on the site, by the biefeld(not beifield)-brown effect, which is an electrokinetic effect. it does not amount to any sort of anti-gravity, which is completely hypothetical. the only connection between quartz crystals and any anti-gravity effects was a 1924 hoax article published in ‘Science and Invention’ magazine.
It seems neither of us can type straight, guero. I typoed the name, you typoed your bracketed correction of my typo.
The jury is still out on just what is happening with the capacitive lift devices. The electric wind theory has mixed outcomes as of the last I’ve heard, with revolving counter claims of flawed tests by and from both sides of the argument.
http://farshores.org/tbrown.htm has a fairly decent writeup on the matter.
In any event, the lifter is certainly not suspended by strings or the power leads in the video.
All devices should work if constructed properly.(except for the telekinetic enhancer which is obviously an ebay fraud type thing) I got the book(Electronic Gadget for the Evil Genius by Rob Ianni) for all of them except the novelty telekinetic item. The big destructive high voltage kill people things are fortunately(or unfornately depending on your point of view) very expensive, over $100-200 dollars. So if your going to buy some plans for the big things make sure you have the money. Smaller items like the lifters and sonic pain beam are about $25 dollars. The ion raygun may not be appreciated by those who expect it to blow gaping holes in walls, but be appreciated by those who want to break other people’s electronics and make metal objects charged with static electricity from a distance. The lifters do work, but there are really not antigravity. They’re really atype of ionic engine.

Set Phasers to *stun* Mr Spock….
find me a gauss rifle, and I’ll be impressed ;)
Help! – I bought some plans for $25.00 and I made a device that made my Sister disappear! – She DID make me mad though
I can actually state from personal experience that ultrasonics over time can make one very ill indeed.
Several hours of working in a room with pulsing high power ultrasonic sensors caused me to become extremely ‘ill’ in that concentration became difficult, headache developed, and slight vertigo occured.
It was quite an unpleasent experience and occured twice (before lunch and after) before I traced the source of my discomfort. Eliminating the ultrasonics had near immediate effect but it took several minutes for full recovery the first time and 15 minutes the next.
The second time I was at point where work became a blur and I was forced to cease until my head cleared. My older, rather deaf co-worker across the room was affected but to a much less degree.
Also note that these sensors were very high power as ultrasonics go. When a joker thought they would be cute and aimed it directly at me, I immediately was disoriented, unable to hear, and was hit with intense pain. It is hard to describe the actual sensation as it was not comprable to any other. To go deaf from loud silence, lose sense of position, and feel pain where sensation should not occur is extremely unpleasent.
Yes I believe at least some of the devices work but also believe that they are far from toys.
Oh… and a side note, putting one’s hand under the sensor gave an immediate sensation of… something weird. I lack words to describe sensation properly. Perhaps ‘unhealthy’ would be applicable. :P
I remember a similar group that offered kits like this years ago called the jack ford science company. Anyway, some of these kits sound fairly amusing. I have heard about some of the sound weapons that have been tested on civilians that do produce illness. Tesla had a device that would generate resonate frequencies that could make people lose bowel control. Mark twain who was a friend of Tesla and once at one of his social gatherings, tried out his invention, much to his discontent. Anyway, maybe it might work, hey its only $20 and if it does, what a riot that would be.
Why shouldn’t these things work? And the anti-gravity wotsit was described in an article in the Guardian. Not sure if it was the same as beifield brown though… have to look it up
Why don’t LOTS of people just MAKE all these things… and aim them at their local Republicans?!
Then we’ll see if they work or not…..
Bush needs to lose bowel control.
sorry for being uncharitable but it’s true!

Remaining, yours cautiously, etc.
The IU products are not ‘TRUE’ utrasonics. They can be heard. Any onbe have an idea where a true ultrasonic device can be purchased?? Maybe someone can answer a question poised to me. If someone had a ultrasonic backup/parking sensors would this produce a similar ultranic pulse vibrating nearby walls like IU’s phasor pistol???
Thanks, Lute
Don’t deal with UI!!! They have been around for decades but their claims are all bogus. Not only did I have to threaten them with a Consumer Complaint to get my shotgun microphone plans but when I got them they were poor copies of an extremely bad idea. The plans were as if some paranoid schzoid designed them with a crayon (OK I’m using hyperbole a bit) but the plans were just stupid and unworkable. I can imagine that there other stuff is just the over active imagination of New Hamphshire back-woods ninnys and retards!!!
Yeah, you can buy those. Amazing1.com.
There are plenty of weapons of mass destruction that can and are sold over the internet.
For obvious reasons, the military wants us ignorant of these things. For, a neighborhood could become a strong military.

I always adhere to and keep a distance from everyone. Until now, I did not have a true friend, although I was a lonely, although I did not like the other players that they have many friends send them cheap zeny, I must be rely on myself, at least I will not hurt anybody, and perhaps this is kind of happiness.
Looking back at the past, in those days, we played together; we have no much rappelz money, we have no need equipment and no senior friends too us, but I am still playing very happy. Rappelz left everywhere in our laughter. There is only one reason is that I have her around, I would meet, everything becomes unimportant. One thing I feel very sorry, that is when I married her, mo gorgeous fireworks, mo friends of blessing. Now I have heart, I feel wronged her, I am sorry to her.
Later, in January of this year, I have entered into this long hoped for world. Following in their previous game, I have some experience, at first I bought some RF cp to arm my number, so I grew up gradually. Later, I joined the empire of darkness, I recognize some friends. Later matured, I separated from the darkness; to join a trade union has just established a new, expanding trade union began a journey, and I recognized a lot of friends.
wow, you are still talking about bush! get with the times! obama has come! he screwed up more than bush!!
