The Stuporcharger is designed to emit a mind numbing tone and induce a stuporous state in the occupants of the automobile in which it is installed. Great for when you have noisy obnoxious children on a long family road trip. An electronic clutch mechanism similar to an AC copressor allows for the Stuporcharger
to be shut off as needed.

I don't think it's a good idea to be in a stupor when driving. |

I remember reading about a certain frequency that makes people void their bowels... This sounds like a good idea as long as the stuporcharger didn't produce that exact frequency. Might white noise also work? |

Ultra low frequencies will make one very uneasy. This will occasionally occur in certain cars when the windows are open part way setting up a fluttering compression/expansion cycle, it can be quite unnerving. I had a friend who was a sound engeneer and he had a booth where we would play chicken with ULFs. We never voided ourselves but it does bring on a dread, dropping pit of stomach sensation which is much akin to fear feelings. The only way to induce stupor with tones that I have seen is by playing slightly different (5-10 hz) pure tones in each ear, this causes the brain to get a bit excited and shift into a much deeper relaxation state than is normal with consciousness. There are a variety of technologies available which use this principle and while one can build a tolerance, most of the time it is snooze city. Search for Binaural beat in google. |

What [paru] said about binaural beats. But mainly what [5th Earth] said, unless you're thinking about putting just the noisy obnoxious passengers into a stupor (the driver could wear headphones or earplugs). |

Just tune the radio until you find Rush Limbaugh. |

Bag pipes would work. My wife suggested Yanni. |

I agree, I don't want any of the drivers around me to be in a stupor. The monks work great for sleep... although the last time I used them, my dreams always took place in a church! |

[21 Quest] is correct. I once got pulled over for wearing protective earmuffs while driving my military-surplus deuce-and-a-half truck. The officer let me go after he sat in the cab and agreed that I wouldn't be able to hear anything over the gigantic, unmuffled deisel, earmuffs or no. I now wear less conspicuous earbuds that not only protect my ears also allow me to listen to my CB. No trouble with them so far. |

That's my completely unrelated two cent's worth. |
