Frequency Generator Was "Dealing with a nuisance dog."
Rex, I apologize for high jacking your topic but I would like input
from the same group of responders. Problem: Auto boom boxes. You know. The ones who pull up beside you at a stop light and rattle the change in your ashtray. Solution: Just once, OK every time, I would like to hit a switch and shatter the side glass in his car. Rear, of course, we don't want to injure anyone. Assignment: What frequency would have the desired effect and how do I build it. I can hear the little pimple faced prick now talking to his buddies, "Man, I just cranked it up and it blew the window out!" |

(b) some of those jerks are old enough to have kids in backward-facing infant seats. (c) the frequency will depend on the window size; those windows are pretty tough, and they're mounted in rubber, which will dampen the vibrations. Other than that, it's a pretty good idea. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |

First day of training, The Wise Old Fire Chief walks up to the demo car, and pokes the window with his glove clad finger. The window shatters. The trainees all start the "We are not worthy!" mantra. Then the Wise Old Fire Chief reveals the trick: automatic center punch inside the glove, poking out of a hole in the finger. I'm told some fire departments and EMTs carry these for getting into cars at crash sites, less hazard of flying glass than the old "fire ax to the window" trick. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

It takes a _lot_ of force to do this with a fire axe, but with the center punch it's effortless. Duct tape in an X across the window, and around the edges, sometimes keeps it intact enough to pull away without filling the car with glass crumbs. Dave Hinz |

Simple effective solution!!! "Photon Torpedoes" Just have a high-powered
photo flash unit on the seat next to you and as soon as you get eye contact --- Let'em have it. Especially effective at night on the freeway but works well at a stop light. Don't worry about being chased, they will be blind for a while but a good idea to change routes. (Don't do this yourself...I'm a trained professional) "Andy Asberry" wrote in message ...

it should be feasible to generate a nice EMP pulse that will make there
stereo (and all the rest of the car) stop working - best to be driving an old car with minimal or no electronics when you do this - "Andy Asberry" wrote in message ...

Bernd If it's a modern Vette an EMP pulse would indeed disable it. Fries the engine controller. (Or at least it would a few years ago. Auto makers weren't too bright about shielding the controllers.)

For each side of the truck, in front of the wheel so the thumpa driver can see it, put a raisable dog leg. Whenever the thumps comes up next to you, point at it and raise the leg. Hit the button and a small pump makes it pee on the car. Collect dog/cat or horse/deer/lion pee for this delivery system.
