My only concern would be that the heat might set off the cartridges prematurely in my CCW.

The last Hershey bar I bought came in a modern plastic wrapper, what's next, no more Jiffy Pop?

You are so wrong. I'd take rubber bullets and firehoses over cooked skin.

Acordiung to the RAYTHON site (http://www.raytheon.com/products/silent_guardian/) It LITERALLY cooks you. WTF? What are they getting prepared for?!@#?!@?#?!@#?!@?#
I hear Jeb And George are going to test it out on Cindy Sheehan's next get together.

I'm thinking lead bullets. As for microwave cooking, people do that daily, to their brains, with cell phones.

This is hilarious! Where would I find a copy of this sound? This would be the best senior prank ever, sneak into office, plug ears, play brown noise to entire school!!

You are obsessed with Jiffy Pop! Where does that come from?

There are plenty of "volunteers" on death row across the country.

But wait a minute! That would be cruel and unusual. Guess we'll just have to do it the usual way, until the unusual becomes the usual.

Tesla also claimed that he could use a "vibrator" (no funny puns here) to cause an earthquake.

The guys and gals at MythBusters gave it a try but it did not work.

I like the Brown Noise idea better. I wonder if those guys at MB will give it a try.

I guess that I was wrong, the Brown Note (Noise) theory was tested...

Brown note

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The brown note, according to an urban legend, is an infrasonic frequency that causes humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance. The name is actually metonymy for a common color of feces. Effective frequencies are reportedly between 5 and 9 Hz, below the audible range for humans (generally humans cannot hear sounds below about 20 Hz). However, as the supposed effects are difficult to explain through known medical science and have yet to be verifiably reproduced in a controlled environment, most medical professionals are of the opinion that the brown note, at least as described in the legend, does not exist.

The brown note is unrelated to brown noise.

Testing

The note was tested on the television show MythBusters using Meyer Sound subwoofers on par in quantity and quality with those used at major rock concerts.[1] The experimenters on the show tried a series of frequencies between 5 and 10 Hz at 120–160 dBSPL, but they were unsuccessful in producing the rumored effects. They all reported some physical anxiety and shortness of breath, even a small amount of nausea, but this was dismissed by the participants, noting that sound at that frequency and intensity moves air rapidly in and out of one's lungs.

Other researchers have noted flaws in the methodology of the experiment. Rather than test the entire spectrum below 20 Hz, the MythBusters tested only three specific frequencies: 5, 7, and 9 Hz. In addition, the strategy of surrounding the subject with speakers without accounting for phase effects could have resulted in a loss of effective power being transmitted.

Another show, Brainiac: Science Abuse, performed a similar experiment using 22.275 Hz at −30 dB (according to the show's producers used by Japan's Police and tested by the French Military). During the program, they broadcast the note over the air (and into the living rooms of viewers) in an attempt to cause bowel movements among those who had chosen to stay in the room despite repeated warnings and opportunities to leave. It should be noted, however, that no television speakers and very few subwoofers are able to accurately generate sound at this frequency at a significant volume. They also alleged to have confirmed the myth with a subject, but this subject was out of camera shot for all of the piece except at the very beginning. Using an audio editing software it can be seen that brown note doesn't exist anywhere in the soundtrack. Instead, they replaced it with a 91.8 Hz sine wave tone making it audible to the viewers, therefore not having any effect on one's bowels... .

Its better than using MG42's for crowd control.

Non leathal weapons that emit sound waves are becoming very popular on cruise ships and larger yachts. They can keep pirates at bay. The boats that have them keep quite about it, but there have been incidents in which they were used and seem to work.
