We've all been cut off at one time or another by someone who probably feels like they're the only person on the road and that everyone should yield to them. Well, I know it sounds kind of stupid, but in some way shape or form - it could be workable. Basically, I say replace your car horn with a massive
focused subwoofer which, in theory, would beat up the car, to really show the other guy what you think of his/her driving skills. Imagine the fun. Sure it would probably violate many federal laws, but I think its worth the risk.

Might want to make sure it doesn't beat up your car as well. |

Baked by music industry terrorists and borderline geniuses The KLF who strapped a huge bass weapon to the top of an armoured vehicle. A test firing way out in the country caused cows to stampede, one being killed in the process. |

Well, recently there was a design in
Popular Science for an ultrasonic
bullhorn. |
|
| |
It works like this: it's easy to
transmit sound in the ultrasonic
range, and focus it to a tight beam
for hundreds of yards. |
|
| |
Two ultrasonic beams are
projected, and the difference
between the two beams of sound is
the same as the frequency of
sound in the human voice. |
|
| |
When you have two signals, like
400hz and 450hz, you get a 'beat'
frequency between the two.
You'd hear the two original sources
as well as the 50 hz beat
frequency. |
|
| |
So, as the ultrasonic signals
degrade, they spread out slightly
and you hear the beat frequency
which is in the range of human
hearing while the two original
signals aren't. |
|
| |
So you could have an ultrasonic
horn that is only audible to the jerk
in front of you at 130 decibles ! |
