Tony Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 As most know wim does not approve of the RFT but since the tyre will be compulsory on all new cars in the States from 2009 i do wonder this. How are the Police expecting to stop the criminal with 'stop-sticks' if the tyre doesn't deflate by design? ... Maybe they are designing an Electromagnetic pulse to disable the engines ignition.... Should be a laugh on a Diesel. Best intentions aside i fail to see how the Police can enforce stop procedures if one of the best tools are made redundant.

Tony Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Just throw a brick through the windscreen ! No mate your getting it all wrong?... That's how they got the car .... I have seen a new 'tyre net' being tested in the US, seemingly this ties it's self around the tyre locking the wheel.. Looks quite drastic though.

Sam@TDi Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I think you'll see them use emp as the technology's tried and tested... it'll be bloody distructive though and could have unknown effects on some modern cars like the new Merc S'class with it's brake by wire system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMP as generated by a nuclear bomb? That certainly would stop the car, and terminate the driver as well. Wouldn't want to be around when they try it though! h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Eureka Aerospace in Pasadena, California has developed a new way to stop vehicles with drivers that think high speed car cashes are fun. By using the same technology found in microwaves they have created a device that will fry a car’s electrical system and stop it dead in its tracks. This prototype is 5ft long, 3ft wide, 1ft thick and just less than 200 pounds. It operates at a 300 megahertz frequency; your household microwave operates at about 2.5 GHz. The radiation level is not harmful to humans except that it’ll cost you a bundle if you ever have to have this device worked upon your vehicle. Just one pulse from this beam, lasting only 50 nanoseconds, will do the trick. In four different tests they were able to disable the cars from 10-50ft away. With proper funding Eureka Aerospace thinks they can shrink the device to 50lbs and can work from 600ft away in about two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but wouldn't they will use it all cars, regardless of what tyres they use, as it will be a safer way of stopping them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be sure before it's used though since it fries the electrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
