V Makukhin of the Trymas Engineering Center in Moscow described
"Electronic equipment for complex influence on biological objects." And
when he says "biological objects," he means you and me.
His laboratory apparatus uses a modulated beam of radio waves to
produce what he terms "disorder of autonomic nervous system," put
forward as a possible non-lethal weapon. Makhunin notes that there is
no general agreement on how EM waves disrupt nerves – he mentions ion
channels similar to those in the plasma paper – but he certainly seems
to be seeing the same effects as American researchers.
But it need not be a non-lethal weapon. Makhunin also mentions the
effects of "change of electrocardiogram" and what he calls "function
break of heart muscle."
The vulnerability of the heart to electrical stimulation (including that produced by EM waves) is well documented. A lethal device would interfere with the electrical potentials that keep the chambers of the heart synchronized, producing fibrillation and rapid death. A death ray doesn’t need to be a truck-sized laser that reduces the target to smoking heap; a small device that stops the heart will do the job.
Can you elaborate? Only heard of the heart attack gun.
