Fan Mine
A rapidly rotating blade around a precious object. | |
This could be an element of a home security system. When an
intrusion is detected the blade protruding from the object begins
to rotate at high speed; faster than sight.
At faster than sight speed, the blade strikes the intruder's hand
when they reach for the shiny item.

Items of sentimental value should be stored in outer space, where the cost of going to steal them would exceed their value to a thief. It works well with stars. |
