There are actually non-lethal weapons being developed that operate in the
Sub 100 Hz area. Using a tubular resonating chamber driven by quickly
pulsed natural gas combustion (instead of a magnet and coil), they are
about the size of a small anti tank rocket tube and can sit on a tripod
and be aimed at rioting hordes. Once triggered, it creates a effect area
cone for several hundred feet directly in front, and anyone in this zone
is apparently taken over by the urge to eject the contents of both
stomach and bowels *instantly* and fall on the ground with incapacitating
nausea. Not the kind of bass you want to boogie to on a hot date but it
shows that bass can be used for both good AND evil :)
I cant wait until Bose makes a home version!
