Awesome - and how about a flashlight that can not only blind but start fires?http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/The_Torch-74-41.html

And lasers, hand held that will destroy... well, just check out the site. Fun stuff.

Interesting. Wonder how well it works. I'd prefer the tried-and-true, myself, but I'm always curious about what gets churned out of some garage engineer's workshop.

A monumental waste of time that serves only as a target for a shotgun.

Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace

gives a little background regarding the website: http://www.ladyada.net/

This is an illustration of the GNU/Linux operating system (o/s) running on an embedded device to control the hardware, which I note is also "open source' typically licensed under the Creative Commons license.

Then there is Limor Fried's commercial site Adafruit Industries, a really geeky place. Enjoy

An similar and known effective device is a strobe flashing at the alpha-wave frequency of the brain. We found this out in the pshychodelicate sixties. 13 Hertz, as I recall, induced disorientation, and in some people it actually induced something like epileptic seizures.
