(excerpt) Experiment IV - Kate Bush
We were working secretly for the military.
Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin.
We only know in theory what we are doing.
Music made for pleasure
music made to thrill.
It was music we were making here until -
But they told us all they wanted was a sound
that could kill someone
From a distance
so we go ahead
and the meters are over in the red.
Project Xylophone. It was developed by scientists who were happy just to have new technology to work with and didn't see any need to deal with responsibility for how it was used.
Oh yes, it was also made with material created under a patent that the government acquired by force. (from "Atlas Shrugged")
Big dish - big target. What if you hosed it down with an AK? How much damage would it take to shut it down? Or is there a better target?
"Reminds me of the government death-machine used to kill the goats with sound-waves in 'Atlas Shrugged'."
