Can a tetanized person give that effect to someone else?
• Tetanization itself cannot be transmitted to other people. However, if each of the beams were touching different people who were in contact with each other, the electrical current could be conducted between them. • Wouldn’t it be difficult to move a tetanized person? • The effect lasts only a few seconds after the current stops, so the problem of moving an immobile person isn’t likely to occur. • Can this weapon work under water? • No. The electrical current would be dissipated by the water. • Would a person fall when he is tetanized? • He would fall only if he were out of balance, because he would have no control over his leg muscles. He would very probably not fall if he were in balance because his leg muscles would be rigid rather than limp. • Have you built a prototype? • The prototype is being developed for us by a laser manufacturer. • How big is it? • The prototype is about the size of a carry-on suitcase. In a few years the commercial units should be no larger than a flashlig
