Acoustic weapons, also known as long-range acoustic devices and sound cannons
Acoustic weapons, also known as long-range acoustic devices and sound cannons, are devices that deliver very loud sounds over long distances. This technology is used for crowd-control purposes by emitting loud and painful levels of noise that may lead to significant harm to the ears, potentially causing hearing loss. Serious questions remain about the safety and efficacy of acoustic weapons in crowd-control contexts.
High-Intensity Acoustics for Military Nonlethal Applications: A Lack of Useful Systems
There have been many previous claims of nonlethal acoustic weapon effects, mostly in the popular rather than the scientific literature. Anecdotal reports of extraordinary effects can make meaningful assessment and review of this area very difficult. Acoustics research has shown that the nonlethal weapon capabilities of audible sound generators have been grossly overstated. Although high-intensity infrasound significantly disrupted animal behavior in some experiments, the generation of such energy in a volume large enough to be of practical use is unlikely because of basic physical principles. On the basis of experimentation completed to date at a number of institutions, it seems unlikely that high-intensity acoustic energy in the audible, infrasonic, or low-frequency range can provide a device suitable for use as a nonlethal weapon.

Increasing the intensity of a 1 Hz frequency can have significant, harmful physiological and psychological effects on humans, ranging from discomfort and disorientation to potentially lethal outcomes at extreme intensities. However, generating such energy at an intensity high enough to be effective as a practical weapon over a significant area is difficult due to basic physical principles. Effects of High-Intensity 1 Hz Infrasound At sufficient intensities, infrasound can cause a variety of effects on the human body, as the low-frequency waves can resonate with internal organs and systems. Physiological Effects: At intensities around 150 dB, nausea and whole-body vibrations become noticeable. Around 166 dB, breathing difficulties can arise. At approximately 177 dB, infrasound between 0.5 and 8 Hz can induce an abnormal heart rhythm or drive sonically induced artificial respiration. Exposure to high levels (over 100 dB) can also negatively interfere with cardiac function. Resonances in body cavities can lead to organ dysfunction, blurred vision, and, at extreme levels, potentially death. Psychological Effects: High-intensity infrasound exposure can induce feelings of anxiety, dread, fear, and general unease, potentially because it stimulates areas of the brain associated with emotion. It can also cause disorientation, difficulty concentrating, and impaired performance in vigilance tasks. Anecdotal reports mention visual disturbances or a sensation of "presence" (ghosts) at around 19 Hz. Physical Damage: While high-intensity audible sound can cause permanent hearing loss, infrasound primarily causes non-auditory effects. Animal studies have shown cell changes and ruptured blood vessel walls at very high intensities, suggesting potential for physical injury in humans at extreme, likely lethal, levels. Feasibility as a Weapon Scientific literature and research suggest that while high-intensity infrasound is harmful, its use as a practical, widespread weapon is generally considered unlikely or overstated in popular literature. Physical Limitations: The primary challenge is generating high-intensity infrasound in a large enough volume to be practical for military or crowd-control use. Creating intense, directional infrasound requires very large equipment due to the long wavelengths involved. Indiscriminate Nature: Like other acoustic weapons, an infrasonic device would likely be indiscriminate, affecting anyone within range, including bystanders or friendly forces. Current Status: Although the technology is under investigation in some military contexts, existing functional acoustic non-lethal weapons primarily use high-pitched, audible sound (like the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)) to cause pain and disorientation, not infrasound.

Building a mini ternary computer can be a fascinating project. A ternary computer uses logic, which has three possible states (usually represented as -1, 0,, and +1) compared to the binary logic which has only two (0 and 1). While it's an unconventional approach compared to modern binary computers, it can be a great learning experience.

Harmonics invention and Tesla. -Google Search- and Concept of harmonics was first studied by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. And 26 second intervals in harmonics. ~LArry
AI Overview https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Tesla_circa_1890.jpeg Nikola Tesla investigated harmonics to understand electrical interference and energy loss, which led to improvements in power system stability and efficiency. He also applied harmonic principles, or resonance, to develop inventions like the Tesla coil, which uses resonance to create high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current. His work with harmonics, vibration, and resonance was fundamental to his discoveries in wireless transmission and his experiments with the earth's natural resonant frequencies. Harmonics and Tesla's electrical work Harmonic distortion: Tesla studied harmonic frequencies in electrical circuits to identify and mitigate distortions that caused energy loss. Power system stability: His work provided a foundation for modern power quality management by improving the stability of electrical networks. High-frequency experiments: He developed the Tesla coil, a high-voltage transformer that uses resonance to generate high-frequency AC power, a key invention for wireless technology. Applications: This technology became the basis for circuits in televisions and computers, and also played a role in his development of wireless transmission, which became the foundation for radio. Harmonics, resonance, and his inventions Resonance: Tesla applied principles of resonance, vibration, and frequency to many of his inventions, including the Tesla coil and his wireless transmission systems. Earth's resonance: He theorized that the earth has a resonant frequency and that harmonics could be created between the earth and its upper atmosphere. He used a large Tesla coil to generate standing waves at the right frequency to make the earth respond. Tesla's oscillator: In 1898, one of his mechanical oscillators, designed to generate powerful vibrations, reportedly caused a minor earthquake in New York City. Wireless energy: His understanding of harmonics and resonance was central to his work on wireless power transmission, an idea he pursued through large-scale projects like the Wardenclyffe Tower
Yes, the Earth has a faint, continuous seismic pulse that occurs roughly every 26 seconds, but its exact cause is a scientific mystery. This phenomenon is a persistent, low-frequency vibration that is detected by seismic stations globally, though its origin is thought to be in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
