LED Incapacitator: Intracranial Pressure, Cluster Headache, United States Department of Homeland Security, Pennsylvania State University, University of New Hampshire - Softcover
Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The LED (Light Emitting Diode) Incapacitator is a weapon designed like a flashlight. It emits an extremely bright, rapid, and well-focused series of ''differently-colored random pulses.'' Before the human eyes can focus in on one frequency, another frequency comes on, causing intracranial pressure, which results in cluster headaches, nausea, vomiting, disorientation, irritability, and visual impairment to the target (opponent). The non-lethal weapon is intended as a means of protection by law enforcement officials such as the border patrol and police. The light emitted is capable of rendering opponents temporarily blind, so they can be easily subdued. By simultaneously overwhelming the subject both physiologically (temporarily blinding him) and psychophysically (disorienting him). A built-in range finder measures the distance to the nearest pair of eyeballs. Then, a “governor†sets the output and pulse train (a series of pulses and rests) to a level, frequency, and duration that are effective, but safe. The colors and pulses continuously change, leaving no time for the brain or eyes to adapt. After a few minutes, the effects wear off.""
