Sound generator powerful enough to create chaos!

Scientists have developed a sound generator so powerful its shock waves can stun, and even kill people.

Another group of researchers have developed another unusual application for sound: a method of "acoustic levitation" that could help maintain colonies on Mars or the moon by using high-pitched sound waves to remove alien dust.

Wired explains,

Blasting a high-pitched noise from a tweeter into a pipe that focuses the sound waves can create enough pressure to lift troublesome alien dust off surfaces, according to a study published January in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Extra-terrestrial missions have been plagued by dust and debris, which cling to rovers and astronauts because lunar and Martian environments lack the Earth's water or atmosphere that can displace the particles.

According to Wired,

Electrostatic charging from solar winds and UV radiation on the Moon makes this sharp dust cling to everything, including astronaut suits where it can work its way through the glove air locks. It also sticks to the solar panels that power rovers and other instruments.
See acoustic levitation for yourself in the video below! Using only sound waves, the scientists are able to lift mock "Martian and lunar dust" off of a solar panel. Cool!

I don't hope this is a repost.

Strange thing this technology exists for over 20 years now and is finally shared with the public by the media. A bit late don't you think?

Ya this has been out for awhile. They had it demonstrated on Ufo hunters in the episode on ufo propulsion. This is cool but really why use this? You think it is really going to be used for that lame excuse to clear martian soil off the equipment and our men please.

Well what I found interesting in this article was this part

Scientists have developed a sound generator so powerful its shock waves can stun, and even kill people.

But when I read a bit further I can not find anything on this heavy statement. They only talk about dust and stuff.

If it is really true they can kill people with a sound generator than it can be something shocking I think.

yes everything has a vibration .if it doesn't have or make a sound then it doesnt exist. even earth has a note or pitch.resonant frequency. no doubt nefarious use.space dust.laughable.

I know - it's called 'Motorhead'!!!
