Leyton van Dyk:
[explaining the device]
The brain creates electrical impulses that flow through the body by various channels. Memories are stored in the human brain, similar to a computer. Naturally, the human brain is much more versatile than any computer could ever be. Our invention enables us interrupt any free train of thought. We can electronically control the thought by directly intercepting the electro-magnetic waves. Bruno... Bruno Carstens: [taking over] Thank you. Well, the brain in essence, the brain becomes the receiver, and when subjected to these influences, is incapable of resisting control. Our device uses micro-electronic technology. And through the automated control of the whole system, it can detect its own individual target. In this case, a human being. Fire a pulse of information and continue to bombard him until such time as he is under control. The distance to which the beam can be projected, well, depends on the power used. To give some idea of the time factor involved, without giving a theory, it would normally become effective at half the speed of light. Furthermore, these detectors are so sophisticated, they will only reflect the radiations from the human body and nothing else. Prof. Pete Handley: [taking over] If our installations are placed around the world in all the most strategic positions, we would achieve maximum security. All we're doing here is to explain and demonstrate what we've developed through years of hard work. Now it's up to the government to come to a decision. See more » |
