A Patent for a Wireless Taser Could Signal a New Competitor

From the article, it sounds like the shock is triggered wirelessly from a projectile that is conventionally fired at the target person. The person who fired the projectile has the ability to trigger the shock or to wait and see if the targeted person complies first.<p>The actual charge is not sent wirelessly. I was hoping this was some kind of &quot;phasers on stun&quot; breakthrough.

Considering how often my Bluetooth speakers get confused between my computer and the two iPhones in the house, a wireless device that can emit lethal amounts of electricity scares the shit out of me.<p>I know comments are gonna come out of the woodwork about the difference between Bluetooth and wireless tech they use. Whatever. Like you’ve never written bugs.

The real &quot;phasers on stun&quot; wireless method may be the laser-induced plasma channel: a brief UV pulse ionizes the air, making a conductive path over which an electrical current can be sent. There&#x27;s a lot of applications of this, from stopping people to HERF-ing things, but none have made it to market yet... Maybe it&#x27;s a hard problem?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Electrolaser" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Electrolaser</a>

Fuck tazers and their brutal outcomes. Fuck Taser Corporation&#x27;s [now &quot;Axon&quot;] coverup of all the lethal dosages of electricity from their devices.

I hope they&#x27;ve thought about targets using wireless jammers, or worse yet, someone hacking the signal...

Does the projectile store the charge in a supercap or something?

signel or signal
