The sound travels at the speed of 345 m/s. That means that the crowd closest to the source should be affected by the emitted sound almost immediately. However, we see in the published source material that the crowd is reacting as there was a moving source of sound approaching to it. Furthermore, not everyone in the crowd seemed to experience the same. Some people claimed not to hear anything. And there was nothing to be seen. Something certainly caused the panic that spread through the crowd, but I do not beleive that was the LRAD in posession of serbian police.
"US inventor Woody Norris was one of the pioneers in adapting this technology for use with audible sound."
Typical US Imperialism. They're working on loud sound machines while Russia and Iran use hypersonic missiles and oreshniks. Will they ever learn?
Seriously though, this tech is ruling class crowd control. Its to disperse their restive wage slaves. This shit won't make a dent in their geostrategic rivals.
Some years ago I investigated LRAD devices, as they had been used in NY City by the police, and protesters were suing the city for damages caused by that use. So far as I was able to determine, current LRAD devices do not make use of piezo-electric drivers, but instead, conventional dynamic types. Nor do they make use of ultra-sonic sound waves. They are merely conventional speaker-amplifier systems that have been optimized for producing very loud sound in the human speech range.
As for the Vortex Ring, your description strikes me as unscientific and excessively speculative. I am not sure that there is such a device, or that it would work as described. In the photos, you do show a police truck upon which is mounted one of the smaller LRAD devices. It is notable that riot police are shown standing in front of the device, where they would be adversely affected if it were used.
The necessity of police forces having and using such devices is questionable. Loud hailers have the potential to injure the public if used improperly. There are other means available to the authorities to control crowds and protect property that do not pose a risk of damaging human hearing.
I guess the choice of sonic or other weapons would depend on the threat assessment? Batons? Tear gas? Rubber bullets? Lead bullets? Each has its own potential harms.
When I was in med school in 1985 I was doing a Radiology elective and the Radiology Tech was a Vietnam vet who had been stationed in California around the time of the Watts Riots (Governor Reagan). He said the Army had asked a bunch of the soldiers to say if they had experience with LSD and other hallucinogens, and that no punishment would be adiministered; they needed to know for a mission.
The mission was that he and other Army Psychonauts became riot squads as the Army tested fogged-hallucinogens on the crowds.
He said MDA (like MDMA, X-tacy) was the best. Withing 15 minutes everybody sort of happily wandered away.
It should be noted that in conventional military combat, AD radars are vulnerable to guided attack by selective radiation-seeking missiles. LRAD equipment can be made similarly vulnerable to attack by drones homing in on the sound source signal. Such a drone can be manufactured for, at most, a few hundred dollars; whereas most LRAD units are far more expensive. In addition, the drone can be disguised, prepositioned, and autonomously operated via AI-driven search and targeting control. This is not an innovation cycle that the LRAD can win. Drones are game-changers.
Strange, but, there are devices that resemble exactly that LRAD-2000X picture, mounted high up on large EU cities, perhaps some kind of pre-emptive positioning measure if people get out of control, then it is easy to enable the device and crowds will be dispersed.
Or could it be a coincidence and something else looks like that... Look up and see for yourselves, if you can spot any.
Fala Bogu da neko konačno napiše nešto pametno o ovim spravama, umesto gluposti koje se šire ovde već par dana!
Piće od mene, gdine Mihajloviću, kad navratite u ove krajeve!
Hvala! Prihvačeno!
Very interesting and well-written post, Mike. Thank you.
How ironic to use a sonic weapon against a silent vigil!
Hvala za info.
Thanks Mike: Sound cannon sudden crowd freakout response video here: https://www.westernjournal.com/alarming-video-sound-cannon-blasts-crowd-clean-two-video-scare-every-free-american/
Sir, if I may ask, have You ever read the old Gerry Vassilatos's Lost Science?
If so, Your take on it?
If I remember correctly there is something on acoustic weapons as well... old cold war tech...
I didn't but will look for it. Thanks.

The crowd was praying silently. Threat level zero.

They just like to try this shit out on unsuspecting people and see how they respond.
Yes, exactly. They certainly do like to try all sorts of stuff out - like "vaccines," LSD, chemtrails and all the rest without informed consent.
It's all livestock management, isn't it?

I was thinking more along the lines of putting up portable barriers, or even better, adjusting policy so that protests are unnecessary..
Crowd-control measures are dictated by the threat assessment. Sometimes passive measures, like barriers, are enough. Sometimes, they're not.
As you say, eliminating the threat altogether is ideal.

p.s. spominjano je i ADS kao opcija.
wow Thereble efect .
