|
how is it powered? |
| |
amazingly the 55,000 volt stun-charge is generated
via an alternating current from a nicle cadium 6
volt rechargable battery |
|
how does the stun charge work? |
| |
the 55,000 volt A/C stun charge instantly coverts
the blood sugar in the suspects body to lactic acid,
causing severe muscle fatigue. |
|
is it dangerous? |
| |
no, 'eel'
temporarily incapacitates suspects in the same way
a standard stun-gun works, however it must not be
aimed above the shoulders because of the high pressure
jet. |
|
the problem
To design a better non-lethal weapon, a better tool
to solve the problems faced by law enforcement agencies
across the world. shooting to stop, not shooting
to kill.
the solution
uses a high pressure electrified liquid jet: 'eel'
is a non-lethal alternative marketed to organizations
such as the security forces, civil police, and airline
stewards it offers an extended stun range of up
to 50 meters over other products available on the
market today. |
