Stuck in traffic? Strap this on. [Off Topic]
With electric cars right around the corner, and the engineering going into higher capacity batteries, something like the Taser Cannon mounted to the front of an electric vehicle doesnt seem too far off.
Nothing says "Please step Away from the vehicle!" like 110,000 volts.

Quote from the article:
| The Lorentz Gun can direct a 15,000 Ampere plasma channel through the air along a straight trajectory, at grounded targets up to 35 ft downrange. The gun consists of 30 high pressure pneumatic dart stations, each capable of launching a tapered aluminum sabot that trails a thin 'seed wire' 0.008 inches in diameter. Cannon tilt and pan is pneumatic, and a sighting laser is located inside the cannon head. When a launched sabot contacts the target, the Marx-configured capacitor bank automatically fires and erects the bank to 110,000 volts, igniting a plasma channel along the vaporized seed wire. |
