Investing in Laser Technology The Next Taser
Tasers are a device well-understood for use in immobilizing persons. However, they require close proximity so powerful that jolts of electricity can be delivered by wires. A new company has prototyped a device that does this wirelessly at far greater distance, in much the same manner as "phasers" in Star Trek can stun their targets. *********************** A 17-Cent Biotech Poised for 3,000-5,000% Gains Congress' "blue coup" is crashing down the barriers to stem cell-based medicines, and his one tiny company is set to make mega profits for investors who act fast. Read the special report to learn more. *********************** HSV Technologies Inc. is an early-stage San Diego company. It has prototyped an immobilization device (read: stun gun). It shoots two ultraviolet laser beams at a target. Passing through the air, these beams ionize the air, thereby creating a momentary electrical circuit between the electric source and the target. Think of it as a temporary electrical wire suspended in the air. The electrical current that's carried has the same wave frequencies as the electrical nerve signals that control skeletal muscles. The recipient won't feel anything. Instead, the effect is to cause all his muscles to fire at the same time, rendering the person helpless. The phenomenon is called "tetanization," which means all the muscles squeeze together in a single contraction. There's no risk of damage to eyes from this UV laser light, because the cornea absorbs this particular frequency. It's also too weak to harm the heart or pacemakers. Unlike conventional tasers -- where some deaths have occurred due to heart stoppage -- no risk of permanent injury has been identified. The effect it produces is also what makes a taser effective. The difference is that that a taser requires physical wires to connect it to the target. A taser might work at several dozen feet, but its range is inherently limited. It must shoot darts hard enough to impact the target, yet not so hard as to penetrate like bullets. The as-yet-unnamed device (they would be wise to negotiate a license with Paramount on use of the name "phaser") will have a range of up to two kilometers, making it ideal not only for apprehending suspects, but also for use in military operations within cities where someone running away could be an innocent, scared civilian. *********************** A CEO Bets 22% of His Modest Salary That His Company's Stock Will Rise At Least 74% in the Next 11 Months His CFO agreed, and invested 31% of her salary...a scant 2 hours later. Fact is -- this $300 million company has just seen the largest insider-buying surge in its 48-year history. If the CEO and the CFO, among other top execs, have this kind of confidence -- shouldn't you get a cut of the coming profits too? Click here to learn more. *********************** It does have a few disadvantages relative to tasers, most notably signal degradation in fog. But HSV is confident a slight design change will handle this. The device will initially be suitcase-sized, and handheld versions are expected to follow. For reasons that are unstated, the company says it will only sell these to law enforcement agencies -- thereby depriving the public of perhaps the best possible non-lethal defense against criminals, and itself of a huge market. I suppose a clever criminal could use it on a victim, then profess to be a doctor helping an epileptic even as he robbed the victim. But every technology has potential misuses. It's rarely a choice of "this or nothing." More often, as in other areas of life, there are tradeoffs. Consider the homeowners who are afraid to have guns around small children and would embrace this for defense of their families. A variant of the technology will deactivate the electronic ignitions of vehicles. I will be watching this company for a possible IPO or deals with public companies that we could invest in. To your profitable future, P.S.: 3,000-5,000% gains are all but certain for savvy investors who act now and grab this tiny company I've found that will lead the way as barriers against stem cell-based medicine come crashing down. This stock may truly become "The Stock Heard 'Round The World"...and reap huge profits for you... Read on for details... |
