i read about this black jacket that MIT made for women to use for self defense. theres a little button that comes out the sleeve so the user can turn it on when needed. the button is small so its easily concealed in the hand. once the jacket is armed, it releases a hardcore shock to whoever is touching it. the woman remains safe though. looked like a pretty badass idea, but its probobly costly.

No announcement yet.
have u heard of this jacket for women that produces electric shocks?

How does it ensure the wearer is safe? Sounds interesting.
Oh and i got a question what if the attacker happens to be holding her hand or have an arm around her, if she shocks tries to shcok him won't he get shocked as well?

Originally posted by HandtoHandIs this jacket still in the R&D phase because I don't it feasible.
The outer layer is made up of a layer of highly conductive material (probably not gold, but something conductive). The conducting material has to have a cathode and anode connected to an electrical source - a small battery of sorts - to allow current to pass through the material. The hand held button open and closes the circuit.
How would you design the conductive material? In planar sheets, in a pattern like a fence, chain links...this is probably patented stuff.

theres hth again talking as if he actually knows what he is talking about. like all the other times, good try, but no cigar. uh yeah, its not feasible, the people at MIT dont really know what they are doing after all do they.

Here's a quote from the article - I highlighted the coincidences...
"The jacket, made from micro-fibre and weatherproof nylon on the outside, hides a lining of insulated rubber which protects the wearer from the charge.
It costs about $900 (£550) although that price may drop if the couple secure a planned deal with a manufacturer and distributor for mass production.
Development of the jacket has so far been sponsored by the chemical company Dupont, which made a special fibre - Aracon - that carries the charge to the attacker.
When the jacket is "fired", arcs of electricity can be seen shooting out of the fabric. The shock is triggered by a switch hidden in the right sleeve which connects to a cable that fits into the palm of the wearer's hand.
The wearer must arm the jacket by turning a small key in a tiny lock just visible on the left sleeve. Once the jacket is armed, a squeeze on the trigger will deliver a 30-second shock of 80,000 volts. A single nine volt battery provides enough power for at least 20 shocks."

Yes Bush did go to Yale along with Kerry and both were members of Skull and Bones. Going to this school doesn't mean that you've got common sense but it doesn't mean that you don't have it either. In other words going to an Ivy League school is not a good indicator of common sense.
