I hear they create a sonic boom that will disrupt water molecules and ice crystals in clouds to stop a hail storm. Farmers use it to keep hail storms from destroying crops such as peaches, lemons, corn.... Anybody got more information/pics on these things?? |

It's not known how the grinning pirates 160 kilometers off the coast of the Horn of Africa reacted as they suddenly were hit by the LRAD. But they were close, and the closer one is to the sonic cannon, the worse the effect is. It's possible they received permanent hearing damage, but at the very least they experienced an excruciating headache and ear pain to the point that they could no longer see or hear. They also quickly lost the desire to board the ship. Of course, even Captain Blackbeard would have quickly set sail when confronted with 150 decibels of pure noise. |
