Should that be “Bedazzler” or “Beta Dazzler?”
Also, don’t try this in public; it might give people with epilepsy a bit of trouble.

oh god not another arduino post….

but really. i dont think the 1 million dollar works either. any bright flashy light will give you spot blindness and a headache. 10+ minutes of exposure to headache source=nausea. not impressive tech.

Err…

I made a weapon!
it makes you perform crazy sex acts.

although it does not work…
WTF?

@ atombomb – sick sticks.

For most HaD readers just showing the arduino would be enough to induce desired effect.

really? for as many times as i’ve been exposed to bright flashing lights in all colors and frequencies, you’d think i’d have been sick at some point.

horay, weapon against epileptics
(I will go to hell for this joke)

36 LEDs aren’t going to hurt your vision, or make you puke. I’ve been a rave/club DJ for >10 years and I can say firsthand that’s not the effect it achieves. Let’s see them try to shut down a party with these – nobody would even notice.

There’s a commercial light out that does something similar to this called the VUE (models 1.1->6.1) which just use a single huge fresnel lens instead of small focusing lenses. It’s a party light, not a weapon. (If you take off the 12″x12″ fresnel on the big ones you can burn people with a mag-lite though)

In the scientific community, failures are just as important as the successes (although, the taxpayers tend to hate the failures that result in “wasted” money). The fact that they are trying to open-source technology that the government and other firms are putting together is a great service to humanity. Seriously, who wants their tax dollars going to a million dollar non-lethal flashlight when it can be made via home hacking. Kudos to them for giving it a shot, and I hope they keep open sourcing more projects and get some right!

I still like the microwave pain gun (Raytheon) as a non-lethal weapon (although I’m sure this has ramifications with pace-makers and similar medical devices, which is why it might never be accepted as a proper crowd control device).

It was really cool until she said that it didn’t actually work…

If you want to make fish seasick too, tune it to about 7-8MHz instead of 11-12MHz.

And if you want something that really may work, turn on Pokémon episode 38 of season 1 (one of the ones that only exist in Japanese), and skip about twenty minutes into the episode.

@M4CGYV3R: The antidote is, ironically, ecstasy.
@thedudefrommiamivice: Now I know how it’s spelled. I had always wondered about that.

that would be kind of cool if you could bedazzle your coat with a bunch of LED hooked up to the bedazzler from ladyada and take that to a rave.

aztraph-

Hey now, that’s an interesting idea. Take a genuine Ronco Bedazzler(tm) and see if there’s a COTS or inexpensively prototyped – clear epoxy is cheap and fast – LED that would be feed properly through the gun. I think the real thing folds metal to affix it to clothing so maybe the two LED leads could be tabs to achieve the same thing.

You’d have to wire it behind the clothing but as far as clothing LEDs, it might be better than those large lillypad style LED patches.

I think the beDazzler commercial with that red checkered jacket from 80s with bling is more puke educing. We should have all the law enforcement wear that. Problem is solved.

PS. Department of Homeland security: I’ll only charge you for $500,000 for this. :P

Drone: did you look at the datasheet for the cree green LEDs? I don’t see any notable UV output.

sl… which flashlight was it… link?

hey everyone
i just FOUND a weapon that makes you puke

it works 9 times out of 10, just watch

I definitely wouldn’t appreciate someone using their “flashy” new “weapon” on me. The seizure may not kill me but the fall definitely could.

It would seem to me that this would only work for someone who is epileptic.
