Flashlight That Can Make You Puke

Posted August 6, 2007 by nick

I know it sounds evil, but I know I could have a lot of fun with something like this.

Intelligent Optical Systems is developing a new form of flashlight for the Department of Homeland Security that is not only annoying when flashed in people’s eyes, but can also make a person puke with the right amount of light.

The flashlight uses a range finder to measure the distance to a person’s eyes and it adjusts the level of light to shoot into a person’s eyes so that it doesn’t cause permanent damage. It then shoots out rapid pulses of light from an array of ultrabright light emitting diodes or LEDs, causing a person to feel disoriented or nausea.

If I was a cop, I would flash this in peoples eyes asking them if they had anything to drink. After they threw up, for no particular reason, I’d say, “Uhoh! Spaghetti-os!” and then laugh. It is probably a good thing I’m not a cop.
