Pardon my ignorance, but I’m just not seeing the practical purpose of this gizmo. The Sonic Nausea device is an electronic gadget that can actually make people around it feel sick to their stomachs out of the blue.

The device is meant to be placed in a specific location and then it will send out high-frequency signals of all sorts, which can apparently make people that get within range feel nauseous. All of the varied soundwaves this thing outputs makes it difficult for a person to process directional source information, resulting in sweating, nausea, vomiting, headaches and irritability. Well, that’s just lovely. I mean, is it supposed to be a gag (pardon the pun) device, or what?

We’re thinking crowd control or something like that. Perhaps a Tazer alternative? Regardless of this thing’s purpose, the Sonic Nausea device will cost $29 and runs on a single 9-volt battery.
