Product Design: EEL Non-Lethal Weapon

The problem

To design a better non-lethal weapon. Create a better tool to solve the key problem faced by law enforcement agencies; Shooting to stop, not shooting to kill or injure.

The solution

Use a high pressure electrified liquid jet: 'EEL' is a non-lethal alternative marketed to organizations such as the civil police, security forces and airline police. It offers an extended stun range (up to 50 meters) over other similar products available on the market. Also this is not a single-use weapon and offers repeat fire - unlike the nearest commercially available rival, the Taser.
