An armature that is spring loaded launches this Frisbee. It has a timer that has an average speed that the launcher launches the disk at already in it so that can calculate when to start spraying. When the disk reaches the designated distance its relatively thin pepper spray cartridges are released. When released the pepper spray travels to multiple nozzles around the edge of the frisbee that are aimed towards the ground but tilted just enough to aid the initial spin.-- hamheart, Jun 05 2008 ouch!-- sninctown, Jun 06 2008 I suppose it would work pretty well against rabid dogs.-- daseva, Jun 06 2008 Why the bones? This fits the 'bakery quite well![+]-- sprogga, Jun 06 2008 thanks i am new at halfbakery-- hamheart, Jun 06 2008 Flippin' Sweet! Can these be secretly supplied to the d-bags playing frisbee "golf" in the park?-- Noexit, Jun 06 2008 But... What is it for?-- ye_river_xiv, Jun 06 2008 //But... What is it for?//Perhaps the clue is in the category, up there, on the right.-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Jun 06 2008 Is this to end a riot, or to start one ? We ask merely for information ....-- 8th of 7, Jun 06 2008 Either, depending on the music you play over the loudspeakers.-- lurch, Jun 07 2008 Nitrous oxide might end a riot faster.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 07 2008 the gas that it spews is copletly interchangable. //Is this to end a riot, or to start one// to end one but i suppose you could use it to start one if you wanted to.-- hamheart, Jun 07 2008 Given the varying skill levels that human beings exhibit when it comes to throwing a frisbee, it's probably best that this be machine launched (armature ?) to minimize blue-on-blue incidents.
I'm having difficulty envisioning the mechanism, though. I'm picturing something complicated, which makes it all the more fun.-- normzone, Jun 08 2008 //Perhaps the clue is in the category, up there, on the right.//
In asking what it was for, I was attempting to get my mind around the idea that this might have some application where current hand-held, or grenade launched pepper spray products would not be as effective as a frisbee-launched sprayer.
My appologies. I often forget that the HB does not necessarily require any such justification.-- ye_river_xiv, Jun 08 2008 OK, dammit, who threw the pepper-spray boomerang?-- Fishrat, Jun 08 2008 This would be a really fun idea if it were made into some sort of game (as I originally thought it was intended) - in a similar vein to Russian Roulette.-- Mrlemonjelly, Jun 08 2008 Why not have a boomerang so you can catch it, reload it and chuck it again?-- Bad Jim, Jun 09 2008 Just throw the frisbee upwards at about a 45 degree angle. You'll then be able to catch it as easily as a frisbee.-- ye_river_xiv, Jun 10 2008 random, halfbakery
