Liquid-Cooled Infrasonic Sonic Wave Pulse Generator ~PLEASE READ

**samsandnot** · 09-09-2012

There are some among you who may have no idea what the hell a liquid cooled infra sonic wave pulse generator is. And you fear you’re techno-savvy reputation is in jeopardy. Well, you’re in good company.

This gadget started making the rounds around the internet last year as the mysterious secret weapon of Audi R8 Blackbird, which is perhaps the most technologically advanced road-going stealth car ever built. It was made for use in Bullrun races, an event where obnoxiously wealthy individuals compete in a no-rules contest to see who can go from New York to California the quickest. Obviously, to do this, you need to bypass numerous hazards, including traffic, patrol men with nasty radar guns, and even gentle forest creatures roaming the roads at night.

The Blackbird comes equipped with a warehouse full of goodies, all of which have been well documented elsewhere. But the true purpose of the little box in front has never been officially determined.

Most seem to think that it’s some form of radar avoidance. Others cite that infrasonic waves are a new form of non-lethal weapon which causes anxiety, fear, and hysteria in individuals exposed to it, meaning it may be used to clear motorists blocking the driver’s way, or even deter animals from wandering into the car’s path on roads near heavily wooded areas. Finally, some think it is an IR light transmitter with a night camera attachment. At speeds of 150mph, headlights become useless. So an IR camera would illuminate areas much further ahead than typical headlights, allowing a driver traveling at high speed to see what’s ahead of him much easier and more clearly.

Whatever it is, it certainly looks menacing, and the mystery surrounding this one gadget is enough to whet the palate of any tech-loving autophile.
